Love Agent: Best of Love Shared
I didn’t realize when we first envisioned the Love Agent movement that we were actually creating an ongoing mechanism for relational breakthroughs until recently when it has became clear how challenging it is for our hundreds of love agents to go from being registered to engaged. I naively thought that our little love missions would become a simple self fulfilling prophecy as people experienced...
Becoming an Agent of Love
“Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” –Barbara de Angelis
Becoming more intentional in your life, especially when it comes to matters that engage our emotional intelligence and heart opening is the only path to a meaningful...
August 2021: Celebrating Love Agents
We are celebrating the “Love Agents” in our lives, in all the ways they show up for us. The truth is that love is all around us, but we often don’t see it – until someone does something unexpectedly kind and mirrors back to us our own loving nature. And it’s the stories of these people that show us the meaning of love by the courageous ways they live.
Creating a Social Movement of Love Agents
“Love can, in fact, reinvent the world.” -Wendy Strgar,
Blogging days are over. And as much as I love to ponder and write about what it takes to make love real, it is clear that this weekly monologue of mine about sustainable love must evolve into something that actually impacts the experience of love in the world. Lucky for me that I met a social movement architect who has helped us conceive of...
Dying For Love
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead
Of all the sciences, the one that is most compelling to me is Quantum Physics. A year ago I went to this remarkable Science and Non-Duality conference, where leading PhD quantum physicists convened with spiritual teachers, confirming the scientific...
Sustainable Love
Recently, after I reviewed another book on greening the fashion world, the publisher sent me a note saying that she had seen my site and was going send me another new book she thought I would be interested in: Sex Secrets of Porn Stars.
I wondered if she had actually read anything on my site.
After years of attending the big Vegas “Sex Shows,” it had become increasingly clear that my corporate...
Sharing the Intention to Love
The truth is that we all fall short of our intentions a lot of the time, especially when it comes to our dedication to loving the people around us. We are blessed with these brilliant moments of inspiration that too often don’t come together in reality.
One of the most powerful antidotes to this pattern of unfulfilled love ideas is to share our commitment to become more loving with the people...
Flexing Your Love Muscles
Celebrating the joys and successes of people we love is a more powerful glue of connection than providing support or consolation for life’s challenges and disappointments. Equally powerful are the small ways that we intentionally communicate to our partners how they hold a special place in our life and hearts...
The Power of Love Missions
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” -Albert Schweitzer
One of my favorite teachings in the Buddhist tradition is how love is transmitted between a teacher and a student. It is often described as a seed of loving intention that is planted in the heart and mind of the initiate, which, with...
Growing Up in Love
“In the last minutes of your life, it won’t matter what you have collected, where you have travelled, how much you have in the bank. The only thing that will matter to you is who you loved and who loved you back…”
If you have ever met me in person, it is likely that by the end of our conversation I may have said these words to you. I live my life by them and am convinced that the purpose of...
Positivity Again- Building a Love Movement
A marked point is the space in the field of chaos where order begins to take shape. I learned about this piece of chaos theory from my good friend, writing partner and social movement architect, Jenn Hirsch. Jenn’s business, Marked Point -named after this theory, (which the less trained eye might call just another marketing firm), is helping me create a Love Movement. It started out as an idea to...
Fulfilling Our Mission- Love: Asked and Answered
For years now I have been writing in the hopes of inspiring people to love each other more, better and with greater passion. Often, my posts have been about how to get through the tough times, how to listen for the answer behind the words, and how to take responsibility for our own erotic selves. But reading words on a page and bringing those into action in one’s life is a big leap that many just...
Top 10 Tips for Healing Your Love
Recognizing that our relationships are our most gentle teachers in life is a great way to approach the work involved in staying with them.
Three Ways to Make Your Love Container Evergreen
Usually, when we think about doing things for Earth Day, we ask ourselves: “How can I impact the environment around me?”. Rarely do we consider how powerful an inner cleansing can be to our external circumstances. This has been especially true when it comes to my intimate relationships – the more I have tried to push change on my partner or my kids, the less impact it has. Conversely, when I re-focus to the noise in myself and bring some light and compassion to my own inner struggles, the rel...
Does How We Live Affect How We Love?
“The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.” -Pope John Paul II
We are the country of grand experiments and the only constant is change. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the ways we are witnessing the disintegration of the traditional family unit. I...
Positivity Again: Thankful For the Basics
“The way to love anything is to imagine it gone.”
The truth is that you never see the hard times coming towards you. We are just walking through life, expecting this day to turn out kind of like yesterday and grave illnesses, accidents, and job losses all come like an unexpected blow to the head. My son is in the middle of one of those times now and I am reminded again that a mother is only as...
When to Use a Hybrid Silicone-Based Lubricant
There are multiple benefits to a hybrid silicone-based formula, like Hybrid Silicone & Water Based Personal Lubricant. Silicone-based hybrid lubes are known for their slippery and smooth texture, and their ability to provide long-lasting moisture.
What’s the Difference Between a Yeast Infection and BV? Know the Signs
Ever had one of those days as a vagina owner where you wake up and something feels off? Maybe you’re slightly itchy down there, maybe your skin is irritated, or maybe it burns a bit when you urinate. Maybe you even notice a weird discharge. It happens to most of us. In fact, up to 75% of women will experience some form of vaginitis, or vaginal inflammation, at some point of their lives. Vaginitis can have many different causes, and some forms are more serious than others.
The Fix for Gay AA
by Duncan Roy
The Fix Magazine
Gay men find it impossible to stay sober. They relapse again and again. The reason is clear: sex. Sexual addiction. I am not suggesting that all gay men who claim that they are alcoholic are in fact sex addicts but most gay men who can’t stay sober cite sex as the primary reason for relapse.
The simple fact of the matter is that most of the time, readily available...
5 Reasons Why Hyaluronic Acid Is An Effective Vaginal Moisturizer
You may have seen it in anti-aging serums, daily cleansers, or even as a supplement. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the trendiest ingredients on drugstore shelves today. And some of the most exciting developments in hyaluronic acid are the revolutionary ways HA locks in moisture in the vagina – something we took note of several years ago and used in product development of our new vaginal gel BioNourish™.
Detox Your Daily Life 2.0 – Five Ingredients to Avoid
Last year, we collaborated with MADE SAFE on a list of the top five ingredients to avoid when purchasing body, skin, and hair care products. It continues to be a great starting point for anyone looking to reduce the role of toxins in their daily life. But with summer upon us, we’re likely using products like sunscreen, deodorant, or dry shampoo, and these all have ingredients we didn't cover two years ago. Here is your guide to the five ingredients to avoid in products this summer.
How to Feel Lovable
One of my all time favorite quotes by the Buddha is:
“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” And yet, this is often the most challenging part of our development, coming to...
The Engagement Gap
“The real measure of our lives may ultimately be in the small choices we make in each and every moment.” -Jim Loehr
Recently, I decided to try out a new yoga teacher and was forced to notice just how much resistance I had to changing my routine. In fact it took me weeks to actually finally get to that new studio. The first time was the hardest, but every week afterwards, required a little...

I am going through the painful process of sourcing independent health insurance. I have had group insurance for the last 10 years, so initially I was just plain confused by the terms and intricacies of each plan, as well as being shocked by the monthly premium. My insurance agent patiently explained it to me about 10 times and helped clear the fog. Then I started filling out...
Positivity Again: Believing in Sufficiency
Running a product company is like trying to solve an algebraic equation that has no answer. By definition, you never have the money you need to get bigger, because the inventory you need to buy now won’t sell until much late and the faster you grow, the more you have to buy now for later.
The biggest expense that any business has is the cost of people to help you grow. In some financial...
Positivity Again: Why I Have to Write
“I need to write about love. I need to think and think and write about love-otherwise, my soul won’t survive.” -Paulo Coelho
It was four years ago at the New Year that I began my Positivity Quest, which became this daily blog for three of those years. At the same time, I also started a daily meditation practice, regular exercise routines and a high school club. Writing it all down during those...
Intimate Gratitude
“Sex is more than an act of pleasure, it’s the ability to be able to feel so close to a person, so connected, so comfortable that it’s almost breathtaking to the point you feel you can’t take it. And at this moment you’re a part of them.” -Unknown
There is not another single human act that so fully embodies gratitude at its peak as the moments of profound lovemaking. This is where we know most...
10 Tips for Bringing Intimacy Back into Your Relationship
Studies support the strong correlation between a happy relationship and the frequency of sex. Sexual intimacy acts as the glue in long-term relationships, like pouring cement into a foundation inspiring a deep union that paves the way for more emotional closeness and richer communication.
Now That It’s Legal- Four Ways to Make it Work
“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” -Robert Heinlein
Momentously. Fantastically. Stupendously… We are now all in it together. Hooray! Everyone can now be legally married- if only the right to marriage was sufficient for sustaining marital bliss. But alas, making a life together that works over time remains one of the elusive goals for our...
Universal Truths
“Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world… Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.” –Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We live in conscious universe. I spent the weekend immersed in The Science and Non- Duality Conference, exploring the depths of the ultimate truths of existence. It was quite heady and surprisingly reassuring. The conference featured...
Fantastic Imaginings
I often tell people that the sexiest part of their body is their brain. Usually I am trying to get them to understand the connection between their olfactory system and the limbic part of the brain where memory, emotion and sexuality are...
5 Fall Foods That Support Vaginal Health
Fall is here! The leaves are falling, pumpkins are out for carving, and - wait… their seeds could help balance your hormones? Surprisingly, yes! Since starting my role at Good Clean Love, I have learned so much about my own body and the ways everyday items like food can play a role in our vaginal health. Many of us may not think about our vaginal health often (I know I didn’t used to), but I now understand how much our vaginal health impacts our overall well-being.
