Victoria Zdrok will begin writing a monthly column for Penthouse called “Vices & Vanities: Sex from Z to A” in May.
Zdrok, known as “Dr. Z,” is a centerfold, lawyer, psychologist and certified sex therapist.
The two-page column will be mixed bag of advice for the lovelorn and news people can use on relationships, sex and dating. She will answer readers’ questions and provide a monthly top-10 list of essential dating and sex tips. Each column will also feature new pictures of Zdrok.
“I’m very excited about writing this column for Penthouse magazine because it combines the two things I love more than anything in the world, sex and psychology,” Zdrok, the Penthouse “Pet of the Year” for 2004, said.
In addition to her Penthouse work, Zdrok has appeared on “Entertainment Tonight,” “Extra,” “American Journal,” “The Howard Stern Show,” “Hard Copy,” and “Inside Edition.” She will be a guest star in an episode of the hit TV drama “Law & Order” on May 4.
