Greetings!

 

I am on tour again!  This time my little RAV4 is headed to the Bay Area!  I will be teaching a workshop at Good Vibrations on Monday the 23rd, and I hope to see your there.  You are also welcome to email, call or text (415.407.2932) me for a personal appointment if you live in the Bay Area.  I do housecalls!  Who do you know that still provides this level of personal service? 

 

Having troubles with your partner?  Getting sick of the same old argument over and over again? Want to change the channel on your love life?  I am here to help with these and a multitude of other concerns.  I will bring my laptop and several enlightening presentations on anatomy, desire, gender and communication with me so you can count on a multi-media experience.  I also specialize in role-playing the very real issues and concerns in  your daily life so our time together will translate to maximum benefit to you. 

 

My calendar is filling up fast so hurry if you want to see me in person. Currently, I have some availability Thursday (May 19) afternoon, Saturday (May 21) evening and Tuesday (May 24)morning.

 

I also want to apologize to all who attempted to email me when the last issue of The Wealthy Woodpecker arrived in your inboxes.  Unfortunately, your emails bounced and you were not able to get through to me.  I redirected my old websites to my new webpage on Your Tango and the transition was a little less than graceful.  I am sorry if it caused you any concern and I do hope you will email me again so we have a chance to connect!


The Wealthy Woodpecker contains a variety of gifts intended to help you increase your happiness quotient, so read on!

  

My podcast features my interview of Deborah Anapol, author of Polyamory in the 21st Century while my column for Sex Is magazine asks "What's Love Gotta do with It?" You will also find me in the Nevada City Advocate in the section titled "Couples Corner."

 

I am super excited about my web presence on Your Tango! where you will find my articles, success stories from my clients, one-click shopping for my books and a one-stop destination for everything pertaining to The Shame Free Zone. There are plenty of opportunities to post to your social networking such as Facebook and Twitter too!

 

Be sure to scroll down for more and don't forget to keep those emails coming  so I can post your comments in my Reader's Respond section!

Learn how to use anger constructively to enhance your sex life! Sex and Anger are uniquely connected. Unresolved anger is often linked to sexual boredom and low sexual desire in long-term relationships, and can be a huge factor in sexual dysfunction such as erectile and ejaculatory issues.

 

Veronica Monet will explain the important distinctions between angry sex, make-up sex, rough sex, dominance, and BDSM; how to have constructive conflict and how to manage your anger instead of controlling it or acting it out. Anger Management provides a healthy outlet for anger and rage, providing fuller access to sexual response.

 

This workshop will teach you the Ten Steps Toward Anger Management and how it can enhance your sex life! This workshop includes: role playing, x-rated power point presentation, demo of some kinky gear, flogging and spanking. 

Adults only.

 

The Mother of Modern Polyamory, Deborah Anapol, on The Shame Free  Zone! 



Deborah Anapol brings so much wisdom, experience and perspective  

to relationships.  Her new book, Polyamory in the 21st Century, even  details five different types of jealousy.  Whether you are single,  

married, monogamous or polyamorous you will want to listen to  

this podcast for insights on how to be happy in love.

 

And remember this is your FREE library of educational and entertaining material pertaining to the erotic and the emotional. Previous episodes include Caroline Muir speaking of The Divine Feminine, Christopher Ryan sharing his findings about monogamy in his New York Times Bestselling Sex at Dawn and research scientist Vanessa Woods speaking about the roots of peace as contained in her Bonobo Handshake.

Safe Sex? Date Night?

Although never a pleasant topic, we all need to know how to navigate the sensitive topic of sexually transmitted infections. Even if you are in a long-term committed relationship and neither of you has tested positive for any STI's, you would do well to know how to approach conversations about the topic. Someday you just might want to have an intelligent discourse on the topic with your children or grandchildren (yes, sometimes grandchildren are more comfortable talking to their grandparents about difficult topics).

 

Or you might find yourself dealing with an infidelity or a conscious decision to invite additional partners into your relationship. Regardless of the circumstances, your life journey will no doubt contain many twists and turns so it is better to be informed and prepared. Get the scoop!   

 

If you happen to be one of my clients, you know I often talk about "date night."  I think there are some very important elements to dating your mate which can re-ignite your passion if it needs a little help or simply keep the fires going in an already hot connection. 

 

You can read this author's take on the topic along with some helpful hints from me, by clicking here.

 

And here in a nutshell is what I share with the couples I work with:

 

1. Agree to at least one date night every month

 

2. Get out of the house! Take a hike or share dinner at a restaurant. Do something which encourages eye contact and conversation.

 

3. Do NOT talk about the kids, money, relatives, the household chores, the job, etc.

 

4. DO talk about current events, religion, philosophy, sex, politics, music, entertainment, sports, etc.

 

5. Approach date night as an adventure and an opportunity to see yourself and your partner in a new light. Look for new information, new feelings, new perspectives and new insights. Listen.

 

No matter how tired or bored you feel, it IS possible to re-birth yourself, your life, your relationship and your sex life. Sometimes date night is sufficient to do that and other times we need a little help to get past our defenses, fears and hurts.  Don't be afraid to get that help.  You and your love is worth it.

 

I use a very successful combination of education and role playing which will increase your passion for your partner(s) and just about everything else.  Email me  or text 415.407.2932 today!

Readers Respond

Dear Veronica,

 

Thanks to your help, we are now enjoying more sex, more sexual intercourse, more masturbation, more hugging, more passionate kissing, more interest and participation in sex and more sexual desire. Our love making is more spontaneous and more in the moment. And Joan experienced her very first female ejaculation!

 

You were the catalyst in helping us to see our individual and couple blocks to taking responsibility for our own happiness and success and learning to work together as a team.

 

I have worked to continue to stay more in the moment, enjoying both my own sexuality as well as staying personally happier. That nexus between love/sex/anger I also believe extends to depression and general feelings of well being. Since we've opened up our communication and authenticity, and both worked to 'stay in the moment,' I feel as though I have a partner and one to whom I feel connected - and this has helped my outlook tremendously!

 

Your loving but strong support helped me to see that I was not taking my need for Testosterone supplementation seriously enough (I was diagnosed with "Low T"). Since our last session, I have taken responsibility and do see that it is very important for both my own outlook and our relationship, that I consistently receive this treatment. I am now in my third month of treatment.

 

All of this has strengthened our relationship. There is a lot more touching, kissing, nice conversation, compliments and connection in general!  We are more open with our sexuality and interests and play.

 

We now have a strong "LOVE" foundation! We love each other, want to be with each other, and we do not want to do anything that would hurt the other in any way. This has become a filter for both of our choices.

 

What we now call our "playground" is anything that can potentially (sometimes we don't know until we try how we will both feel) add to our LOVE and FUN and Life experience that we discuss with each other and try if we both agree. And then either of us has the ability to veto or define limits.

 

We both feel that we can bring up our individual sexual, sensual and love-making interests to each other and discuss it without fearing that either of us will feel threatened, hurt, etc.

 

We are more relaxed about our love, play, fun and sex. I feel less pressure to make sex happen and Joan feels less pressure to try to fulfill her own or my interests. We are just moving forward with our interests to find things that meet both our goals.

 

We are enjoying more intimacy and improved communication. We now share our feelings more openly with much less passive aggressiveness. This has had a huge impact on our romance, helping to launch us into an adult playground where we are living out all our fantasies and feeling excitement and passion we haven't felt in years!

 

Thank you so much,

Dan and Joan

Los Gatos, CA
