Written as he lived it, Life Positive: A Journey to the Center of my Heart by Nicholas Snow (available at Amazon.com from December 1st, 2013—World AIDS Day) is the riveting true story about how one man became HIV positive decades into the AIDS epidemic because of a rare slip in his safer sex behavior, and then decided to use this mistake as an opportunity to empower millions of people throughout the world. Snow went public with his HIV status at a press conference in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2008 and went on to conceive “The Power To Be Strong” HIV Testing/Safer Sex Awareness Song & Music Video Campaign (available on iTunes).  Snow, a journalist and film/television actor, has since become one of the world’s leading freelance proponents of voluntary HIV testing, having reached at least 5,000,000 people in multiple countries. The key message of Snow’s song is “Get tested and live longer and be strong!”  Science has shown someone who knows their HIV status and is taking the latest antiretroviral medication can live a long and healthy life and 96% less likely to transmit the virus to others. Snow is also the producer and host of the popular BlogTalkRadio program, SnowbizNow, which has reached over 1.3 million listeners since going on the air in late July 2012.

Hold onto your skirts Ladies – it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Author Lorenzo Baccalà is an Italian American physician and social philosopher. Over the years he has witnessed our changing cultural and religious values including the mighty impact of the sexual revolution on individual, family and national values. Regarding sex, one of his favorite quotes is, “Sex is like fire. It can warm up your home or burn it down.” Strangely enough, little reliable information is written on the details of the art and science of men making love to women, let alone the other way around. For this reason he persuaded his old friend “G” to be interviewed for this book about his sexual encounters of selected various types in different countries among about 300 women with whom he bedded. Because of the controversial nature of American sex, “G” chose to remain anonymous. He is convinced that, unlike books, surveys or media coverage of sex scandals, descriptions of his “real-life” encounters with women have true- to- life immense educational values for both sexes. The Table of Contents of The Man Who Made Love to More Women than Casanova And the Apocalyptic Aphrodisiac tells much more about G’s story than a detailed description. Dr. Baccalà urges those where sex is a significant part of their lives to read this book and absorb its lessons. He has lots more to offer on his Blog, Twitter and Facebook pro

Want to reignite the passion, eroticism, and romance you and your sweetheart shared when you met? Gifted intuitive, board certified acupuncturist, author, and clinical herbalist Jill Blakeway is sharing what is good sex.  There is no one technique that guarantees good sex, no set of instructions that makes it a sure thing. That’s because good sex is not about what-goes-where or who-licks-what. Good sex has nothing to do with how old you are or how much you weigh.  Good sex is about the connection between two people. It is about the mutual flow of energy between partners, with both people giving and receiving it. Good sex comes from and/or takes you toward a state of balanced energy. You can get up to whatever exotic high jinks you like, but without the exchange of energy between partners, sex will never be deeply satisfying.  Jill Blakeway is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist, clinical herbalist, and an empathic and intuitive practitioner of Chinese medicine. She is also an author and speaker and is based in New York City where she founded and runs one of the largest acupuncture practices in the US, the YinOva Center. Sex Again: Recharging Your Libido is a book that grew out of Jill’s clinical practice in response to couples asking for advice about how to revitalize their sex lives. Connect with Jill on Faceboo

Dr. Charles Rawlings provides a controversial view of relationships in his book, It Really Is That Complicated. Beginning with the first chapter discussing marriage and ending with the final chapter asking questions about the human condition and relationships, Dr. Charles propels you through the exotic (and erotic) landscape that is the foundation for male/female relationships... in his humble opinion. No topic is too controversial for discussion. You’ll find yourself falling through Alice’s rabbit hole as the author examines topics as diverse as marriage, sex, land, money, matchmaking, escorts, hookers, and women as prostitutes. Interestingly, just when the discussion turns bleakest, the author offers a glimpse of optimism, so long as the reader knows themselves. In so doing, Dr. Rawlings exhorts his readers to throw off the mantle of the ordinary and seek that which is extraordinary. Perhaps some of his readers can do just that. No relationship topic is left unturned… but will you agree with his view of the world? Dr. Charles clearly loves to stir things up – I’m excited to share the love of LOVE with Dr. Charles!  Thank you for tuning into another lively, entertaining and arousing conversation on After Dark Radio Show!
