Dr. Marlene Wasserman

The certificates on my wall testify that I have a B.A. Social Work (Hons), University of the Witwatersrand; MA (Clinical Social Work) cum laude, University of the Orange Free State; Doctorate in Human Sexuality, Institute of Advanced Study in Human Sexuality, San Francisco, USA and I am an internationally accredited Couple & Sex Therapist (AASECT).

I am a Clinician in Private Practice. I sit in my therapy room with couples -and individuals on my couch- for most of my day. Through my years of training I am a Sexual Medicine Consultant and Therapist. My area of special interest is onco sexology which is working with people with cancer, as well as people with chronic illnesses. Yet it is always the fascination with relationships between two people that captures my attention and interest, irrespective of age and stage, illness or wellness.

Internationally I was a Director on the Board of ISSWSH (International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health) 2009-2011; I am international consultant for the academic journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy and reviewer for Journal of Sexual Medicine. In 2009, Paris meeting, I was one of the selected co-chairperson for ICSM (International Consultation in Sexual Medicine), the prestigious international body that sets standards of practice and management of sexual medicine.

In February 2011 I was invited to teach at Fairleigh Dickinson University, New Jersey, NY. I have been invited to return and teach again.

In April 2010 I was appointed on to the Sexual Rights Committee of the WAS (World Association of Sexual Health), the umbrella body for Sexual Medicine and Sexual Health in the world.

The academic in me is very demanding - I meet this need in my position as part time lecturer at Medical School, Department O&G, University of Cape Town. I deliver papers at scientific national and international conferences and address corporate organizations all over the world. Watch this space for further information on my training of Health Care Providers in Sexual Medicine. I have been published in a number of academic journals. My bedtime reading is the Journal of Sexual Medicine, latest research on gender based violence , relationships, interspersed with readings on religion, science, militarism and politics. And for pleasure I read Vanity Fair and a well recommended novel.

I am a very committed board member of Gender Dynamix , a NGO working for the rights of transgender people in South Africa and Africa. I have become a strong sexual rights activist, my main field of interest being Gender Based Violence and HIV and Violence Against Women. I offer training to NGO's and Government in this contentious and important work.

I am an award winning writer and have had my own columns in Natural Medicine, Move!, Longevity, Psychologies and Sarie. Presently I am the Playboy Advisor in the South African Playboy Magazine and I am an expert on www.women24.com as well as www.health24.com. I enjoy my role as contributing "agony dating aunt" to the Kingdom of Hearts - www.kingdomofhearts.co.za. I write on request for many international and national magazines and newspapers.

I am the author of Pillowbook, published by Oshun, a best seller that was launched in February 2007 and went into second print 6 months later. Dr Eve Sex Book - A Guide for Young People - Rights, Responsibilities, Rewards published by Human and Rousseau, 2008, is set to become the most important and relevant comprehensive sexuality education book for South African young people and their parents. My third book, Ageing and Sexuality - a 21st century guide to sexual health (Oshun 2009) is packed with information for both health care providers as well as the public.

I enter my 17th year on radio, quite a record for a freelance radio journalist! Presently you can hear me weekly on Heart 104.9 simulcast with Gagasi 99.45 , Radio 702 and Cape Talk. In April 2011 The Dr Eve Show on Heart and Gagasi, won the best night time radio show in South Africa. After hosting my own television show Pillowtalk during 2006, I am more in love with radio than ever before- even though I do television on request.

My web site is a source of dedicated work and joy for me- being creative in bringing you bleeding edge information, top of the range sex toys and sexual health products.

This new web site was well researched and is in line with latest technology-and what it appears you want from a DR. EVE web site. Bringing you into the blogs, articles, the shop, allows you to engage with your own sexuality, ageing and relationships - this thrills me.

I am proud of the many recognitions, both locally and internationally, that I have received over the years. For example I am named in both national and international Who's Who, nominated for awards in writing and health arenas. Mostly I feel proud and privileged that I have been able to touch so many people's lives over these many years. I look forward to being relevant, provocative, challenging and interesting for many more years to come!

I am a woman, a parent, a partner. I am passionate about living life in a healthy, sensual and responsible way. I am dedicated to you. I am committed to being a sexual rights activist, an educator and clinician, ensuring that your sexual health and reproductive rights , your right to safe and pleasurable sexual loving and shopping is ensured. I am privileged that you choose to learn, talk and shop with me.
