00:00 Introduction
11:52 Question of the Week
Question: "How accurate is the COGIATI ("COmbined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory" -ed.) test used to determine ones tendencies toward transexualism? Also what other tests are available on line that one can use to determine his sexual tendencies. I scored 400 on the COGIATI and for anyone taking the test that makes me a transexual. "
(from Molly, MA)
19:47 Hal Fuller's Twisted Nasty News
32:39 Pamela Madison, founder and director of the Women's Sexuality Center in Santa Barbara, is a licensed acupuncturist, sex educator and pioneer in the field of female sexuality. Pamela helps women to raise their sexual self esteem, experience greater orgasmic abilities and increase their connection between sexuality and spirituality. She teaches sexual empowerment programs, tantric trainings and maintains an extensive private practice in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Her groundbreaking work also includes recovery from psychosexual traumas such as childhood and ritual sexual abuse, rape and FGM (female genital mutilation).
We talked with Pamela about the connection between spirituality and sexuality, and about how to move beyond one's personal limits to experience transformative sex.
The Women's Sexuality Center (at www.womensexualitycenter.com) is devoted to the sexual empowerment and fulfillment of women through education, healing and support.
