Take Eleven: Pain & Sex
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
Fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce, with the number one cause for divorce being infidelity.
While many stay in their marriages even after one or both partners commit sexual indiscretions, Hillary may have forgiven her husband but the media hasn’t. PBS’ upcoming show on former president Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky brings back painful memories to all families involved.
For many spouses that decide to divorce, dealing with the emotional pain, letting go, and starting over may be easier said than done. Dating again and exploring both emotional as well as physical intimacy opens a new chapter in these new singles’ lives.
My guest this week is Delaine Moore, author of The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom, Seal Press. February, 2012. A speaker and a journalist, Delaine gets down to the good, bad, and “naughty” of life after divorce. Oh yes, and the sex.

Take Seven: Empathy and Open-mindedness
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
In a recent study with 46 adults with at least one gay parent, 28 out of the 46 spontaneously reported being more empathic and open-minded than other adults with straight parents.
Gay parents talk about teaching their adoptive children tolerance and understanding, and go out of their way to become foster parents or adopt children as they navigate complicated systems and adoption agencies.
Jesse Walters and David Traupman share the story of how Faith came to their lives and their challenges within government agencies when they tried to adopt a foster son years earlier.

Mom and Daughter Talk Sex
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
Years ago I shared with my friends how I decided to prescribe birth control pills to my daughter, who would have otherwise needed to wait three months to see a doctor. My friends were stunned. Although their sons and daughters were in their late teens and, their parents assumed, they were sexually active, none of my friends had had an honest conversation suggesting ways to protect the kids from both sexually-transmitted diseases or pregnancy.
As committed parents who want to raise well-grounded, smart, and self-sufficient individuals, we spend more time teaching them good manners, the benefits of great education, and the wonders of competitive sports. The big question is: why are parents not talking more about sex with their kids?
My daughter and I were discussing this recently. She thought this video would help many teens as much as our conversation helped her.
