( Before I get the cheeky answers: I realise that it doesn't involve having a helluva lot of sex, I mean, have you ever seen the sexologists on tv ? I doubt they are personally all that active ! ) I have been looking about the internet and it doesn't seem to be all that common a course. Can't imagine why ! I am from the UK, but live in another part of Europe. Initially, I was thinking of going back to the UK to do it, but as I haven't seen a lot of courses, I was wondering if any mudcatters have a great knowledge of sexology courses in the USA or Canada, say. Or just any wee bits of info! |

The phone rang, and when he picked it up, a snooty female voice asked, "Is this the Rothschild residence??". "Oy!!", the man replied. "Lady, have you got the wrong number!!" A |

03 Mar 06 - 01:29 PM (#1684439) Subject: RE: BS: sexology courses From: Bill D It usually involves a degree in psychology and/or some medical studies with special emphasis. Some schools have curriculums suited to it. I suspect your internet searches were not phrased right. You need to refine your 'goal' a bit more, as 'sexologist' implies a narrow field which may be hard to hang out a shingle in. |

04 Mar 06 - 01:34 AM (#1684791) Subject: RE: BS: sexology courses From: Stilly River Sage Back in the early days of some of the cable networks one of the channels ran a program with a blond woman out of California. Laurel Canyon comes to mind. Interesting, but she always seemed so naive and occasionally was rather shocked by things people told her. That was what was shocking about the program! Then, of course, there is Dr. Ruth. Mary Steichen Calderone did a lot of good work in that field, but she died several years ago. SRS |

She's been on all the talk shows... Leno, Letterman, etc. I googled her name but couldn't find any university affiliations... well, I didn't spend a lot of time at it. |
