The Memoirs of Dr. Sex

Two-dimensional thought creates psychological problems and low self-esteem for people raised in American culture. The text supports multi-dimensional thinking we can use to enhance our relationships and find more realistic, life-long love. Although the text jumps in at the grossest physical expressions of love, it evolves along parallel stages of development to mental and ultimately spiritual manifestations of love.

This book is not about anything, it is not merely a description of a process. It begins at the simplest level and moves through various stages of development so that reading the book provides a basis for evolutionary development. It is like taking a pill with long-term side effects that are beneficial for the reader. We use love as a matrix for understanding but the underlying process examines how energy is formed, how it is expressed through behavior and then returns to you in different forms. When you read it, you begin to see why "What goes around, comes around," and how to bring better energy into your life. It is meant to be entertaining and light-hearted but the core values are serious and focus on humanness and what it means to be human. We contain the world and, as we gain understanding and love, the world becomes more understanding and loving. At the end, we see how we are invincible and cannot be defeated.
