Where can we find love and the best relationships? In this witty conversation, we learn that what modern science is discovering about love and intimacy is what an ancient book of wisdom has been saying all along.

Patricia is known both nationally and internationally as a sexologist, sexual health educator and researcher. She is the author of several books including Teen Sex by the Book, Let’s Make Love and The Best Sex for Life.
