Be BOLD Branding

The Bold Brand Of A Sex Researcher

This episode is brought to you by the sexual revolution of the 1970’s.  The moment we met Dr. Leanna Wolfe, we knew we’d ask her to be on Be BOLD Branding.  Talk about bold…her latest book is entitled, “177 Lovers and Counting: My Life As A Sex Researcher”.  Her sex research was spirited by coming of age in the thick of the 1970’s sexual revolution and feminist movement in the San Francisco Bay Area.  She engaged in field research in Mexico, Africa, India and Papua New Guinea, earning an MA in Anthropology from the New School for Social Research and a PhD in Sexology from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.  Tune in and see why we could have kept this interview up for hours :)
