Hello sex fans! Welcome back.
June is indeed bustin’ out all over. And that can mean only one thing here at Dr Dick’s Sex Advice. IT’S LGBT PRIDE MONTH! Hurray!
To kick off our celebration we’re gonna take an audio fieldtrip to the land down under to visit with one of the most interesting men I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. And seeing this is the SEX WISDOM show, you can be certain that my guest is among the movers and shakers in the field of human sexuality. Because this is the series where we meet researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are helping us take a fresh look at our sexual selves.
My guest is none other than Benjamin Law, the author of the critically acclaimed book, Gaysia; Adventures in the Queer East. Benjamin is a journalist, columnist, and screenwriter. And has a Ph.D. in television writing and cultural studies, don’t cha know. His passion is evident in all he does, but he is also funny as all get out. I can’t wait for you to meet him.
Benjamin and I discuss:
- His way with words;
- Cleis Press, his North American Publisher;
- His international audience;
- Modern gay consciousness is linked to a certain economic class;
- Bad reviews;
- Sex tourism;
- Living on the sexual fringe;
- His travels throughout south Asia;
- Religion, family responsibilities, and sexual minorities;
- Sex work can come from a place of pride or from a place of desperation;
- The double standard for women and men.
I’m going to make sure that Benjamin reads from Gaysia; Adventures in the Queer East, so you won’t want to miss that.
Benjamin invites you to visit him on his site HERE!

And to kick off this new year, I have something quite extraordinary for you. Today, we feature the first woman of color to speak in this series. She is a sex worker. She brings a refreshingly honest, unique and sassy voice to the ever-growing chorus of exceptional guests in this series. I am honored to welcome Voluptuous Lynn.
We’re back with more mighty fine 
You see, my conversation with Monk is part of our look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles. As you know I’m chatting with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world in the hopes of gaining some perspective on edgy sex. And that’s why this exceptional bondage performance artist is here again this week.
Modern Hooker is a sex worker; but she’s also an activist, a poet, an educator, and the author of a kick-ass comic strip called, aptly enough, Modern Hooker.
Today, we add to this chorus of voices one that is rarely heard in public. I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to my special guest. She is a working girl; ya know a lady of the evening, a trollop, a whore, a street-walker, an escort, a courtesan, a pro, a ho, a prostitute, a hooker. In fact, my guest is the one and only Modern Hooker.
