Tuesday, 15th September, Redondo Beach: The Lust Doctor
Dr Pamela C Regan, Professor of Psychology at California State University and author of The Mating Game. And she’s totally awesome.
She is Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Social Relations Lab at California State University, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota. Her research interests are in the areas of close relationships and human sexuality, with an emphasis on passionate love, sexual desire, and mate preference.
She was one of those rare serendipitous finds – a friend of Mike emailed on Monday morning with an article by her, I dropped an email on the offchance, and here we are sitting in her living room the next day. And she’s totally fab: she teaches undergrad students, which makes a difference to us because it is her business to know what everyone out there is writing about relationships. So we are able to ask her what she thinks about the work of all the people that we’ve met, a summation of the work being done in the field at the moment, and to basically get her to gel all of our interviews with experts together in one fell swoop. On top of that, she’s one of the nicest and most fun experts we’ve met en route so far. An hour long interview turns into a 4 hour siege of her house. Brilliant stuff, we were delighted – it was also the first ray of sunshine that LA has granted in a while. We can leave the States now knowing that we have got some really good stuff.
