'Sexpert�� Pepper Schwartz
Heidi LaFlecheCurrent events are motivating Americans to reprioritize their lives. The upshot, according to sociology professor Pepper Schwartz of the University of Washington, is that intimacy is more popular than ever. ��If you��re fearful and sad, the thing to make you feel not alone in the world is to connect,�� Schwartz says. She is author of Everything You Know About Love and Sex Is Wrong (Penguin, 2000) and The Lifetime Relationship Quiz Book (Hyperion, 2002). Her advice columns and chats on Lifetime Online: Sexual Healing Archive [lifetimetv.com/relationships/pepper_archive.html] keep eager visitors clicking for more. Want to spice up your love life?
