EXTENDED BIO
I wear two hats. I'm the author of "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow: From Habit to Harmony in Sexual Relationships," (2009, North Atlantic Books, distributed by Random House). It explores the parallels between modern neuroscience discoveries and traditional methods of managing sexual energy from all over the world.
I'm also part of the "BodyWisdom" team of four authors. We collaborated to create a sensible, science-based audiobook to help boys (and their parents) understand the not-so-obvious risks of today's highly stimulating Internet pornography. It's called, "Things You Didn't Know About Porn," and it is narrated by a science-teaching father (available on iAmplify.com).
I am a former corporate lawyer, who never expected to find herself writing books about sex. I delved into the subject in part because I was a bride or bridesmaid in four weddings and nearly everyone who reached the altar (including me) has since divorced and remarried. What was going on?
The more I learned about ancient sacred sex traditions and the science of mating and bonding, the more I recognized a need for a cross-disciplinary perspective that also incorporates the experiences of actual lovers struggling with the tension between fiery biological urges and the desire for long-term harmonious relationships. Psychologists, neuroscientists, evolutionary biologists, anthropologists and ancient sages all have essential clues for coping with this challenge�¢??and yet each profession alone is somewhat hampered by its codified assumptions. My work highlights key insights (both recent and long-forgotten) by weaving them together with practical suggestions. "Cupid" has been endorsed by two psychiatrists and a UCLA biology professor and author of "Mean Genes," among others.
My husband, and a fellow member of the BodyWisdom team, Gary Wilson, is a neuroscience enthusiast. He generously takes time from his teaching career to help collect and analyze the material in my articles, blogs and books. (I blog on "Psychology Today" and "The Huffington Post," among other places.) Together Gary and I have given presentations and made radio appearances worldwide on the unwelcome effects of evolutionary biology on romantic relationships. We also contribute items to various magazines and books. Most recently our work was featured in the award-winning anthology "Toward 2012: Perspectives on the Next Age." "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow" will soon be available in German.
