“Dr. Block is so knowledgeable, frank and articulate that we have a really fun, easy conversation. I have not had a good intellectual discussion in a while, especially while investigating porn. She uses metaphors that will take me days to figure out. She is poetic, provocative and pornographic at the same time. She’s part philosopher, part Dionysian sex goddess, part porn pundit. Her body is as hard and lean as a twenty-four-year-old’s. She definitely takes Dr. Ruth to another level. She retains her sense of humor while fielding a call and holding open her guest’s vaginal lips at the same time. God, she has guts. Sam and I exchange a look as if to say, she might be slightly crazy, but damn is she smart. She is the only sexpert he can imagine actually having sex. I am fascinated how these two women, the hyper-intellectual academic and the seXXXpert, can live in the same body. We talk about relationships and sex for an entire hour, and I love that most of her recommendations are simple and easy to try and do not involve anything you have to buy or read. In fact, I could continue asking her questions for another hour, but I realize I should at least pretend like I have a life. Thanks to my talk with Dr. Block, I feel much better equipped now to be in a relationship.”
