Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Bonnie Gabriel

"Words are wonderful aphrodisiacs. With words you can stimulate the
pleasure centers in your partner's mind so they send shivers of sensual
delight through his entire body. With words you can help her become
more relaxed and receptive to your touch. With words you can ignite his
erotic imagination or lift her to the heights of unbridled passion.
And with words you can melt the barriers that may be keeping you and
your lover from experiencing the profound joy of a sacred union."

Getting Started With Bonnie Gabriel

I've always resonated with the beauty of sound - sensual voices,
delicate poetry, exquisite melodies, eloquent and expressive lyrics,
etc. This passion, combined with my training as a counseling
psychologist and educator inspired me to explore the many ways that
lovers heighten their desire and deepen their intimacy through words
and voice tone. So, several years ago, I began conducting workshops on
the topic for such diverse organizations as The Learning Annex, The
National Sexuality Symposium, U.C. Berkeley, City College of San
Francisco, California Business Women's Conference, Mensa, Whole Life
Expo and numerous educational centers and community groups. My experience leading these workshops inspired me to write The Fine Art of Erotic Talk, published by Bantam (now Random House), Your Daily Verbal Aphrodisiac and Verbal Charisma.
