Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot are sex and relationship educators. Their expertise and comfort, combined with their honest, playful style, give audiences the tools they need to stay healthy and have fun. They have presented over 450 programs around the country at colleges and universities, businesses, churches, regional and national conferences, and adult education centers.

Marshall has a degree in Sexuality and Society from Brown University. He has over six years of experience running HIV and STD prevention programs, most recently as the Prevention Education Programs Manager at the Research and Evaluation Department of Fenway Community Health in Boston. Marshall founded Boston's the BiHealth Program and the Safer Sex Educator Team. He provided multi-session counseling with at-risk clients and trained and led a team of fifty educators to conduct outreach and education about safer sex, STDs, and sexuality. Marshall is also trainer of teachers for the Unitarian Universalist and United Church of Christ Our Whole Lives sexuality education program. He was named a "Person to Watch" by USA Today.

As a breast cancer survivor who discovered a lump in her own breast at age 26, Dorian knows that being comfortable with her own body may have saved her life. As a result, she is passionate about increasing people's knowledge and comfort with their own bodies. Trained as a sexuality educator at Brown University, Dorian has authored several articles about the scientific study of female orgasm. In addition, she is a certified birth doula, providing professional labor support to women and their partners during childbirth.

As experts on female orgasm, they are the authors of the book I ♥ Female Orgasm: An Extraordinary Orgasm Guide. Their media appearances include The O'Reilly Factor, The Early Show, CNN, NBC, The New York Times, National Public Radio, USA Today, Time, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cosmopolitan, Psychology Today, Men's Health, and numerous other newspapers, radio, and television shows. Marshall and Dorian live with their daughter in Albany, New York.

Jocelyn Benson

Jocelyn Benson is the newest member of the Sex Discussed Here! team. As an undergraduate at Wellesley College, Jocelyn spent two years as president of the Sexual Health Educators (SHEs), one of the country's leading college sexual health peer educator groups. During her time as a SHE, Jocelyn held the record for the number of sex questions she received from students -- excellent preparation for her future work as a sex educator!

Jocelyn went on to receive a Masters in Public Health (MPH) from Yale University, and she is trained as teacher of the Young Adult/Adult Our Whole Lives comprehensive sex education program. Students appreciate Jocelyn's energy and savvy insights about sexuality. When she's not teaching about sex on college campuses, Jocelyn does research and consulting for the health care industry, where she describes her favorite projects as those relating to women's sexual health and "icky diseases." She and her husband live in New York City.

An experienced educator who's worked with audiences ranging from a dozen to over 5,000, Melissa Lopez is committed to providing people with honest, accurate information about their sexuality. For the past five years, Melissa has trained teachers to present Our Whole Lives, an acclaimed comprehensive sex education program that’s taught in Unitarian Universalist churches, United Church of Christ churches, and secular non-religious school and community settings. She is currently leading a national research evaluation of the curriculum.

Melissa has a decade of experience as a bellydancer and dance teacher, helping her male and female students develop positive body image as they express themselves through movement. As a sex educator and teacher, she’s frequently praised for the spark and vitality she brings to her work, the way she sets her students at ease, and her abilities as a “marvelous motivator.”

Melissa draws on her experience growing up Puerto Rican in a racially diverse small town in the Midwest. She now lives in Elyria, Ohio with her husband, Brian, and two children.
