He was a visible leader of the second sexual revolution from 1963 to 1975. He coined the term \u201csex positive\u201d in 1976, and he started National Orgasm Week during Spring Break in the mid-1970\u2019s (first week of Spring). He pioneered the Pre-Sex Discussion to emphasize mutual consent in 1993, and he has been on The NBC Nightly News, Oprah Winfrey (twice) and CNN News Night. Dr. Libby hosted \u201cThe Pleasure Dome\u201d radio show on a rock station in Atlanta for three years. He is the author of numerous academic and popular books, including <strong>Sex from Aah to Zipper<\/strong> and <strong>The Naked Truth About Sex<\/strong> (both at Amazon). Dr. Libby gave a TED talk on the next sexual revolution, and he is leading The Sex Positive Enthusiasm Revolution, which is already playfully underway!<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drrogerlibby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.drrogerlibby.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aired Thursday, 11 May 2017, 4:00 PM ET Sex Addiction is Not a Diagnosis There is no proven support for either sex addiction or hypersexuality.
