Coming to a State near you!
You are reading The Wealthy Woodpecker which is a Constant Contact Email Marketing All Star for 2009! Although it is considered an email you may be inclined to think of it as an electronic magazine. Some months offer more articles than others. If you have something you would like to contribute to next month's issue, let me know. I am happy to consider your submissions (please keep your word count to 750 or less) for possible inclusion in The Wealthy Woodpecker.Not only did this newsletter receive an award - I have been nominated for an award too! I have been voted a
finalist Female Sex Worker of the Year in the Erotic Awards 2010. You can read more about that here.
I am also really proud of my cousin Allena Gabosch because she will be participating in Seattle's first ever Iron Slut Sex Educator Showdown! These very popular events are organized by Reid Milhalko - the man who invented Cuddle Parties! If you happen to be in Seattle on May 27th, be sure to drop by for a rousing competition as she and Reid go mano a mano and blow for blow, sharing their personal stories and bed room
secrets!And don't forget to scroll down to find out what I will be offering you during my week's visit to Seattle in May.

Improve Your Health and Extend Your Life with Fair Fighting?
The New York Time's April 12 article entitled "Is Marriage Good for Your Health?" uncovered some very interesting statistics about relationships and health as this snippet reveals:
" . . . the emotional tone of a marital fight turned out to be just as predictive of poor heart health as whether the individual smoked or had high cholesterol. It is worth noting that the couples in Smith's study were all relatively happy. These were husbands and wives who loved each other. Yet many of them had developed styles of conflict that took a physical toll on each other. The solution, Smith noted, isn't to stop fighting. It's to fight more thoughtfully."
What the article fails to tell us is just exactly how do you "fight more thoughtfully?" Let me answer that question here: what constitutes the type of conflict which will lead to improved well-being? Fair Fighting!
Fair Fighting is a technique which doesn't require therapy or a some long drawn out journey into your childhood. Fair Fighting techniques really work and best of all perhaps is the fact that you will start getting the connection and compassion you crave while creating a more harmonious daily life for yourself and your partner(s).
In a lot of ways, our culture is becoming more and more mean. For a couple of music videos which illustrate how NOT to fight fair, click here!

Sleepless in Seattle . . . Because of Way Too Much Sex!
Well, OK that's not necessarily about my personal sex life . . . but you never know. I will be in Seattle for one week and there is no telling what kind of trouble I will get into. Of course I will be teaching a workshop and giving a keynote so I hope you will show up for those. The details are below.
But you are also welcome to schedule your private session with me while I am in your area (presuming you are anywhere near Seattle). Remember my consultation fees range from $135 an hour for relationship repair, sex addiction and sexual shame - to $250 an hour for my one-of-a-kind How to Date a Wealthy Man program.
Just email or call 888.903.0050 to book in advance please!
What: The Brave New World of Dating, Hook-ups and World Peace
When: Friday, May 21, 6:30PM to 8:30PM PST
Where: 406 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, WA
How Much: $15 members or participants of Sex 2.0/$20 non-members
Contact: 206.898.5876 or RSVP@sharmacenter.org
Why: Dating, Relationships, Gender Roles and Marriage itself are all morphing into a Brand New Paradigm for the Future. But what will tomorrow look like for Love? Will we move toward fewer distinctions between the genders? Or will the conservative backlash propel us back in time? In this age of instant messaging and online dating, are we headed toward a society afraid of face to face interaction? And what could any of this possibly have to do with a primate in Africa and World Peace? Keep an open mind and hang on! This is going to be a wild ride!
This workshop will explore current trends in dating, gender roles and relationship patterns with an eye toward the larger implications for society at large. You will also walk away with a greater awareness of where the world of sex and love is headed and how those future trends may impact your personal life. Topics covered will include:
Role Reversal: Boys as Toys The Death of Dating: Friends with Benefits Calling all Cougars: Older Women and Younger Men - a Return to Ancient Roles Toward Being Whole: Cross-Pollinating Male and Female Cultures Embracing Male Lust and Finding Female Desire Mean Girls and Male Liberation from What? The Sexy Bonobo Grandmother Wisdom How Your Sex Life can Save the World  What: Sex 2.0 Conference in SeattleWhen: May 22-23, 2010 Where: Quality Inn at 618 John Street, Seattle, WA 98109How Much: $50 for the weekend (save $10 if you register before May 1) Contact: 206.728.7666 Please note the cut-off for registration is April 30th! Register Now!
Why: Because I am giving the Keynote! I will also be one of the presenters for a Media Panel. Sex 2.0 2010 is sponsored and presented by the Foundation
for Sex Positive Culture in Seattle (My cousin is the director! Yeah Allena!).
Sex 2.0 focuses on the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality.
How is social media enabling people to learn, grow, and connect sexually? How is
sexual expression tied to social activism? Does the concept of transparency
online offer new opportunities or present new roadblocks - or both? These
questions, and many more, are addressed within a safe, welcoming, sex-positive
space.
At Sex 2.0, everyone is a participant rather than a passive
attendee. This is YOUR event!
Respecting the confidentiality and protecting the identities of participants
who wish to maintain a degree of anonymity is a top priority at Sex 2.0

What: Rub Me the Right Way: Finding the Male and Female G-Spot
When: Thursday, June 3rd, 7:30PM to 9:30PM PST
How Much: $20 advance/$25 walk-in
Store: 831.466.9870
Why: We usually refer to a male G-Spot as his prostate, but as Certified Sexologist, Veronica Monet will tell you - a G-Spot is a G-Spot no matter whether you have a penis or a vagina. Believe it or not your doctor may not even know about the G-Spot because there is still so much confusion and controversy surrounding this small but potent part of your anatomy. Veronica promises she will make it all quite easy to understand so you need never take a wrong turn on your way to ecstasy again! Join Ms. Monet for an educational and enlightening evening of humor and technical know-how sure to lead to plenty of "homework" when you get home.
