Dr. Diana and Dr. Elizabeth Rae Larson, the Director of the Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education and Research (www.sextx.com), got into Kink.  “Kinky” is often about having extra fun with sex!  And, it’s about introducing imagination and creativity into lovemaking.  There is stress and depression this time of the year – and for some men and women journeys into kink can spell relief.  Bondage.  Fetishes. Questions from the listening audience about what to do when going to a Dominatrix, crossdressing, and is the feel of pantyhose on a girlfriend’s leg actually a fetish?  The rules, the exact, open communications involved in power play are important to keep everything safe and fun – and not dangerous.  Yes, sometimes the forbidden is fabulous!  Dr. Larson knows this and was a wonderful, articulate guest.
