AUSTIN, Texas—EstaNoche.com, the only online adult boutique in America that caters to Latino sexuality, is pleased to announce its new Latin Lover Series, a collection of interviews with authors, educators, health professionals, celebrities, and others who are making a positive difference in the world of Latino sexuality.
The series kicks off with three interviews that illustrate the range of sexuality in the U.S. Hispanic community—male and female, East Coast and West Coast, sexologist and literary author. These and future interviews can be seen on the new EstaNoche community website at EstaNoche.com.
Regina Lynn, sex-technology columnist and author, is conducting the interviews.
Jaiya Ma is a sexologist, tantra teacher, radio host, filmmaker, and the author and co-star of the Red Hot Touch video and book series. She is based in southern California and teaches workshops and private lessons in sacred sexuality, erotic massage, sexual wellness, post-partum sexual healing, and other topics.
In her Latin Lover Series interview, she credits her success as a sex educator to her South American heritage and her mother’s openness about sexuality. “I think I have spicy blood, an aliveness that I attribute to my Latin roots. I like to move my hips. I like the dance. And the passion!” she said.
Charlie Vázquez is a radical Latino author and activist, a Bronx native of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent. His recent novel Contraband is set in a slightly futuristic America where the government uses gene-scanning tests to identify and then persecute people who carry "undesirable" traits, including homosexuality.
In his Latin Lover Series interview, Vázquez speaks with EstaNoche about finding his voice as an author, the queerness intrinsic to the Catholic church, and how we can combat homophobia within the diverse Hispanic community through education and example.
"As we develop into the person we want to become, and as more and more Latinos get further along in their education and educate their families, everything changes," he said.
Dr. Charley Ferrer is the only Latina doctor of sexology in the United States. An award-winning author and television host, she travels throughout the U.S. and Latin America.
"My thing is education, and educating the community is so important. And if I can make education fun and sassy and laugh while I’m doing it, that’s what I’m going to do," she said.
“I am thrilled to have Jaiya, Charlie, and Dr. Charley as our first featured Latin Lovers,” Regina Lynn said. “We are the first online adult boutique to celebrate and support Latino sexuality in all its forms, and part of our mission is to bring attention to the contributions sex-positive Latinas and Latinos are making every day. You should see who we have lined up for future interviews!”
