“Reflections on Sex” is a special category of blog posts featured in the Healthy Sex blog. It is sometimes referred to using the abbreviation, RoS. These blog posts serve as a running column, like a newspaper column. In these writings, Wendy shares the most fascinating ideas and insights she gained about sex in her more than forty years of work as a sex educator and therapist. New “Reflections on Sex” blog posts are published about one a month and are highlighted on this page. To find out as soon as one is posted follow Wendy Maltz on Twitter or Facebook for announcements.
“Reflections on Sex” provides me an exciting opportunity to examine sex from old and new perspectives and share stories and ideas I haven’t written about before. I’m eager to tell you about the people, experiences, and discoveries that caught my attention and influenced my life. I hope you will find my observations entertaining as well as informative. Perhaps they will inspire you to reflect on your own journey with sex, how your views about it have changed, and what sex means to you.

Journalist Tanner Owens explores why turning to pornography for sex education isn’t a good idea in this insightful opinion piece published in the University of Oregon’s Daily Emerald News, entitled, “Don’t Let Pornography Show You How It’s Done.” Wendy is quoted as one of the sexuality experts who was interviewed for the article. The piece mentions The Porn Trap book.

Larry and I are pleased to report that our book “The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography” 跳出色情陷阱 is now available in an open (ie. unadulterated) Chinese translation. We want to thank Carmen Song, the amazing translator, and Law Press of China for recognizing the need for a resource to help the growing numbers of young people in China who are reporting problems caused by porn.
Truth is: today’s porn is a global concern.
