Welcome Dr. Charley Ferrer to The Lusty View and thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. You've had quite an exciting year traveling to China and Venezuela. I can't wait to hear more about your adventures and looking forward to the BDSM Writers Convention next August in NY City.
Hi Kathy,
Thank
you for inviting me to your website and providing me with the opportunity to
share some time with your readers. I look forward to answering any questions
and meeting a few of you in New York City, August 21 – 24, 2014.
What does a Clinical Sexologist do?
As a Clinical Sexologist, I specialize in Sex Therapy and
provide counseling and education on sexual issues. I teach physicians, mental
health workers, and law enforcement officials about various aspects of
sexuality as well as alternative lifestyles including dominance and submission.
This enables them to provide the best service possible for their patients and
the men and women they serve. It’s amazing that physicians know the intricate
workings of the human anatomy, yet they’re too embarrassed to ask a patient how
their sex life is going. Though many would think a physician asking such a
question would be inappropriate or nosy, the truth is you can learn about your
patient’s mental health and medical well-being from this very simple inquiry.
For instance: if the patient is married and hasn't had sex in over a month,
then there’s a problem; assuming he’s living with his/her partner. There might
be depression or a biological condition that’s affecting the patient; perhaps
prescribed medications are hindering their libido. So many possibilities can be
ascertained from the response to this one simple question—and all possibilities
should be explored! Plus as a Sex Educator, I conduct various workshops to help
men and women enhance their sensual and sexual divinity to derive great
pleasure from their life and relationships.
You have so many accomplishments in your
career. Can you tell us about a recent one that was especially rewarding for
you?
Gosh, Kathy. It’s so hard for me to choose from all the
amazing opportunities I’ve been blessed with in my career. This year alone I
participated in some of the most amazing sexological achievements ever made
which are literally affecting lives across the globe. For instance, I had the
honor of being the only http://doctorcharley.com>American Sexologist invited to speak in
Falcon Venezuela for a week long summit that had us driving across the entire
region of Falcon to get to the people in small outlining communities and
villages and educate them on sexual health and relationship issues. We battled
moving sand dunes which obscured the roadways in order to get to one Town Hall
meeting. I was able to introduce BDSM principles and playfulness with the help
of my fellow “male” sexologists and volunteers from the community forum of over
300 citizens on day. Do so love male submissives. Never is a man stronger than
when he opens himself up to another and shares his affection and vulnerability
trusting such a gift will not be dishonored.

However I would have to admit that my most amazing experience
this year came from my participation in the FIRST Chinese Sexology Association Congress
held in mainland China in March. I was the ONLY America-Latina Sexologist
invited to attend this historical event where China opened its doors to
collaborate with sexologists from around the world on sexual health issues. I
conducted a brief lecture entitled “Understanding
& Demystifying Dominance and Submission (BDSM)” calling to action
physicians and mental health workers to educate themselves on the various
aspects of this very normal and highly misunderstood sexual lifestyle. BDSM
practitioners hidden within their community due to extreme criminal penalties
and discrimination associated with the practice.
During one of the tours while in Hong Kong, our host dressed me
as an Empress. A man ran up on stage, knelt before me, and begged for the
“honor to kiss my hand.” A little flabbergasted, I smiled and extended my hand
as everyone watched in awe. “It happens everywhere I go!” I stated and we all
chuckled a little. I was later surprised when I later learned the identity of
the individual.

I was deeply honored when I was asked to return to China to
teach and lecture at Peking University and other institutions to help train others
that would then help spread sex education throughout China. My book, SEX
UNLIMITED was slated for publication in Chinese before I left. Unfortunately,
before we could get it to market, it was banned. Apparently, SEX UNLIMITED was
thought to offer too much sensual information and sexual freedom to be allowed.
Could you tell us about your latest book? SEX UNLIMITED: The Ultimate Guide to Dating, Sex and Erotic Pleasures was published January
13, 2013. It’s my thirteenth book on sexual empowerment. It provides
information on everything you need to know about sexual pleasure and various
sex positions, exercises, and sensual encounters anyone can utilize to become a
great lover! It also teaches the reader how to be flirtatious—a skill many of
us can use some practice with. One of the review comments I received on the
book states, “If the information isn’t in Sex Unlimited it isn’t legal; though
some of the information and sexual encouragement is illegal in some
states.” Sex Unlimited, as with all my
other books, is a straight talk, no nonsense book, on claiming your sexual and
sensual divinity. I guess that’s why the book was banned in China.
*chuckles*
The BDSM Writers Conference was a huge help
to me in my writing and in my curiosity in the lifestyle. What will readers get
out of this amazing event in 2014?
BDSM Writers Con began three years ago as a 3-Day Intensive for
authors. It became apparent that readers (and the general public) were hungry
for the information as well. Readers can expect to learn the truth about dominance
and submission and assuage their curiosity as to what it’s really all about.
Though there are several workshops geared specifically to writers, readers will
delight in the countless workshops and live demos presented by BDSM Experts.
These men and women aren’t performers. They are lifestyle practitioners who
embrace the nuances of Dominance and submission and have been doing so for
years. Readers will be able to mingle with their favorite BDSM and erotica
authors and make new ones as they participate in workshops and spend a night at
a private BDSM Club. Our host, Powder, the co-founder of Fetish Tribe in New
York City has promised to make our night at this private D/s event a night to
remember. Plus, readers get to attend the Award Ceremony during the conference
when we present the winners of our BEST BDSM Book 2014 Book Contest.
Novice
will enjoy the safe comfortable atmosphere of the conference which allows them
to explore and appease their curiosity while experienced kinksters will enjoy
the various lifestyle workshops geared toward enhancing their relationships and
providing various demonstrations on how to incorporate various play such as
Flogging, Bondage and some Edge Play into their relationships.
BDSM
Writers Con is the perfect first step into the world of Dominance and
submission. It’s not just for authors. It’s for everyone curious about writing
or exploring bondage, discipline and sadomasochistic adventures. I invite you to join us for this amazing one
of a kind conference August 21 – 24, 2014 in New York City. And of course,
please feel free to contact me with any questions.
