Join me and my special guest, Charla Hathaway of the BodyJoy Intimacy School, for a conversation about how to keep Eros strong in your daily life and nightly lovemaking. Charla’s new book, 8 Erotic Nights: Passionate Encounters that Inspire Great Sex for a Lifetime, follows her success with Erotic Massage (both from Quiver Press).
Meet Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 7 pm-8:30 pm on the third floor of BookPeople, 603 N. Lamar. Audience members will be encouraged to share their personal experiences. No charge, just bring your sense of humor and an open mind.
Got questions for Charla, ask them now even if you can't make it to BookPeople, and I'll get her answers for you.

The following comment was emailed to me by Al, a retired physician who had attended the meeting on Wednesday night:
“Ms. Hathaway was quite interesting and effective in discussing intimate touching. I think she showed a great deal of insight and was quite effective in transmitting her thoughts in a genteel, soft spoken, non-threatening manner. I sensed no discomfort throughout the audience.
“In many ways physical sex gets better as one ages. I sure there is a top limit in age, but so far I have not encountered it. I believe that both sexes enjoy intimate foreplay much more than when we were younger and expected to “perform”. As a matter of fact I believe that the foreplay may be as important or maybe even more important than orgasmic genital sex. Orgasmic genital sex would seem like a relief valve or termination locus for ending a specific sexual experience. While the postcoital “glow” is enjoyable, it may not match the simple pleasure of relaxed foreplay.
“I thought your comments were interesting, too. I sensed that you felt a reluctance to express your specific touching preferences, and were hesitant to nudge, guide, suggest, or even offer alternatives to whatever you were experiencing. Yes, I realize that you may have simply been attempting to elicit more questions or comments.
“The program was interesting and I’d enjoy hearing more of her suggestions. I had reached similar conclusions….and practices similar to hers before I heard her speak. — al
