Gloria Glickstein Brame, Ph.D. and M.P.H. in Human Sexuality, is a clinical
sexologist, author and journalist. Dr. Brame is a member of the American
College of Sexologists and holds a dual appointment at her alma mater,
the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (San Francisco),
as Associate Professor of Sexuality and Clinical Sexology.
Dr. Brame was the lead author of Different Loving: The World of Sexual
Dominance & Submission
(with co-authors William Brame and Jon Jacobs), hailed
as a landmark work on sadomasochistic and fetish subcultures. Her most
recent book is Come Hither: A Commonsense Guide to Kinky Sex, selected as the
"official guide to kinky sex" by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human
Sexuality. A former English professor (M.A. in English, Columbia
University, NYC), Dr. Brame switched career tracks
from literature to sexology in the 1990s. Now, as an internationally
acclaimed
expert on paraphilia (bondage, sadomasochism, fetishes, cross-dressing,
etc.),
her work in the field has been cited in scores of scholarly and mainstream
publications
in the U.S. and abroad, she has appeared on hundreds of tv and radio and
web-radio talk-shows and she has contributed articles on sex to a wide range
of popular magazines (including Cosmo, Maxim, Redbook, and others).
A long-time on-line explorer, Dr. Brame founded the first on-line BDSM
support
group on Compuserve in 1987. From 1998 to 2001, she was a resident sexpert
for Thrive On-Line, hosting conferences both on BDSM and also on Sex and
Spirituality.
In 1996, she launched gloria-brame.com,
a vast free resource for information on all aspects of kinky sex. Her gloria-brame.master.com message boards offer peer support, information, and advice on all aspects
of kinky sexuality. Dr. Brame's private practice offers counseling to kinky
adults and couples, with an emphasis on sexual self-esteem and
self-empowerment. Her personal mission has been to give so-called unusual
sex practices a human face by promoting education and candid dialogue on these
widely misunderstood and formerly taboo topics.
