Added 2020-09-18 14:04:30 +0000 UTCWhere was I in my sexologist journey seven years ago? Wow, where does the time go? I was living in sunny San Diego for 18 years and loving every moment of it. I got my Bachelor's in Business Marketing at SDSU; I stripped to help me pay for college. I bought a property, traveled, and built EbyResa Striptease Lap Dance Lessons. San Diego's living was a massive part of my 20s and 30’s. Eight years ago, I was teaching striptease lap dance lessons daily, and I was ready for a change to be more credible. I decided to move to San Francisco in 2013 to get my doctorate in human sexuality at the Institute of Human Sexuality. Ted McIlvenna, the founder and owner, started IASHS in 1976. August 22, 2018, Ted passed away at 86 years old. He will be remembered as a mentor, teacher, human rights activist, and keeping myself and others to learn and love the world of sexology. He fought from day one until his death to believe in the process and keep speaking our truth about sexual health and sex education. Such an essential part of our world that is so taboo, and we are all here from sexual intercourse and orgasms. Please keep talking, learning, sharing, and telling others about the world of sexology. (Blog Post coming soon about Ted and my journey getting my doctorate.) This was a significant change for me going back to school, new city, new friends, and trying to get my EbyResa biz up and surviving. During this time, my pug Bailey was almost 13 with arthritis, she was not able to use her legs to walk, and she became incontinent. I was her mom, sister, caretaker, and I would do it over again at any time. Five months after moving to SF, I put my little doggy down. One of the most challenging choices to make, but I knew we had a great life together, and now she is running in heaven. After her passing, lots of changes happened. I became more spiritual, went to Burning Man, sold my house in San Diego, and became a minimalist. What was your journey in the last five years, and what are you going to do today to live your true authentic sexual self? xoxo, DR @drresa
