Greetings! 

 

If you are new to the Kort Report, I welcome you to my newsletter. If you have already been a subscriber then I thank you for remaining interested in the work I do.

 

I hate summer! There I said it. I am not a fan of the heat or humidity. In Michigan, the humidity makes summer miserable for me. July and August are the worst months of the year. I look forward to the fall when it gets colder, we can wear sweaters, and I look forward to the Jewish holidays and Halloween!

 

I am in the process of hiring additional therapy staff at the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health and look forward to introducing them to you soon. Felix Paulick, MSW  and Kelli Weller, MA , continue to do great work at the clinic.

 

We added space and gave my office manager, Karin Jones, her own office without having to share with therapists and having to leave once the therapist arrived.

 

I have to admit, it is scary starting this venture. But I am on a mission to spread the word that relationships and sex can look and feel any way you want it to as long as you are not harming yourself or anyone else.

 

We are a culture obsessed with telling people what the right and wrong ways are. I am determined to help people find their "own" right way.

 

And finally, a big YAY! for gay marriage in New York!!! I want to take my partner, Mike, there and marry him all over again. And we just might do it.

 

I want to establish a new gay etiquette being a civil union in every state that grants them and get new rings and wedding attire each time. It is the only way to be gay!

 

Enjoy the rest of summer.

Monogamish 

 

The New York Times did an article this past month on open relationships. They presented a very balanced article for all sides of the equation. Dan Savage invented a new word describing his relationship with his husband, "monogamish".

 

Monogamish is the new word for couples who are kind of monogamous. Do you believe in monogamy? Why or why not?

My Penis and Everyone Else's

 

Here is a video of my penis...well, not MINE, but the name of a good documentary. I highly recommend watching this. So many men avoid talking about issues they have around their penises and live with shame about its size, length, girth, performance, etc. This video dubunks some of the myths as well as starts a good dialogue on the topic.

Heterosexual Privilege Checklist

The Heterosexual Privilege Checklist is a list that helps straight people get a better understanding of what it's like to be gay in a very hetero world. It makes it a little bit easier for straight people to put themselves in the shoes of their gay friends and family. I encourage you to share this article, which I've reproduced below, with your nears and dears in the hopes of facilitating some meaningful dialogue.
