Profile: My interest
in accurate sex education was sparked by the nun who taught my eighth grade
religion class and counseled us to "think of a hamburger when you find your
thoughts straying to the impure--it will distract you." Suspecting that
God really didn't intend for us to choose between two things as wonderful
as sex and food, I made a point of learning as much about sex as I could.
I've spent the last 15 years educating myself and others about the wonders
of sex, primarily through my writing (see below) and my work with two women's
sex toy stores, Libida.com and Good Vibrations. Since becoming a mom, I've turned my attention to the sexuality of both mothers and their children. I believe that all people, including children, deserve information about their sexuality in order to lead more fulfilling lives, which is what inspired my newest book, The Mother's Guide to Sex. I'm a single mom living with my five-year-old daughter in San Francisco. |

Profile: As part of her own spiritual quest, Cosi Fabian has been researching the Sacred Prostitutes
and their sexual Goddesses for twenty years, living the Sacred Whore archetype for ten. Her cutting edge
knowledge and rich experience make her a popular presenter and teacher. She is a published poet and her
essay, "Holy Whore, a WomanÕs Gateway to Power" can be found in "Whores and Other Feminists"
(pub. Routledge). Cosi has appeared on network and international television - you may have seen me on 20/20 - and has performed in
San Francisco, but it is her teaching and mentoring work that still gives her the most satisfaction.
That - and her sexwork, of course. | ||

Joanne Marrow, Ph.D My life has been a quest for understanding the spiritual, physical and emotional
nature of love and bliss. This guided my childhood in a loving Polish family in Chicago and my two and a
half years as a Maryknoll nun. I deepened my intellectual search to understand the nature of love and bliss
as a graduate student in Florida and I continue it as a university researcher and teacher. Dedicated to personal freedom and autonomy, I never married, but have practiced my sexuality with a series of intimate partners. I live in the foothills of the northern Sierras outside of Sacramento, CA. Love of wilderness takes me to remote preserves in Siberia, Alaska, Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico and Canada where I camp and kayak. My work with clients is to lead them to the calm inner center where their deep spirit-centered wisdom resides. From this center they find the clarity and strength to make life transformations. Expertise: I received my Ph.D. from Florida State University in 1974 in psychology. Since 1974 I have been a tenured professor at CSU,Sacramento. I have taught Psychology of Women, Human Sexuality, Death and Dying, and Stress Management for over 20 years. I have been a licensed psychologist in California for 20 years. I have presented many scholarly papers on sexuality at academic conferences. My book, Changing Positions. Women speak out on sex and desire, is the result of over 350 interviews with women of all sexual orientations on their sexual life stories. I have appeared on national television and radio. I teach weekend workshops on dream analysis, womens sexuality and self-hypnosis in Nevada City, CA. | |

Founder, President and Vulvalutionary Profile: The beginning of my advocacy for sex education and women's health, started in 1988, when I experienced the loss of a close friend to AIDS. Because of this and being a single parent to teenagers, my attention was focussed on sexual health issues. As a private investigator, I was very adept at research. I researched reports from the CDC in Atlanta, SF AIDS Foundation and educated myself on sexual transmission of diseases in women. In 1989 I began developing performance pieces in local Lesbian sex clubs around the theme of safer sex and Vulva health. I demonstrated and developed fun and educational safer sex techniques. I also became a sex mentor to many, many teenagers here in San Francisco. In 1990, I was an instructor for Female Ejaculation classes. I have produced 7 videos, "How to Have a Sex Party", "The Magic of Female Ejaculation", How to Find your G-Spot,and the Masturbation Memoirs series. I created the Wondrous Vulva Puppet in 1993 and continue to sew each one which is probably around 4,000 now. The puppet is used around the world as a tool for sex education, Tantra, STD and HIV prevention, and healing from sexual abuse crimes. Sex through The Eyes of Women, is my way of expressing the importance of women sharing their experiences, knowledge and healing through storytelling, seminars, videos and these classes on the web. I am currently a Breast and Gynecological Teaching Associate at Stanford School of Medicine; University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine and at Touro University, College of Osteopathic Medicine. So now I'm able to influence the next generation of doctors in the areas of Sex Education and Female Ejaculation. My goal is to recruit Vulvalutionaries all over the world. | |
