He has aimed his entire career toward a single set of goals: telling the truth about sexuality, helping people feel sexually adequate and powerful, and supporting the healthy sexual expression and exploration of women and men. Klein has written five books on sexuality and frequently is quoted as an expert in Newsweek, USA Today, The New York Times, and even “Ann Landers.” He publishes “Sexual Intelligence,” the monthly online newsletter about culture, politics, the media, and sex.
Aaron Brashears has been hacking computers for more than 20 years and designing and implementing business and entertainment software for more than 10. He has been a sex educator with San Francisco Sex Information for the past seven years, providing free, non-judgmental, accurate sex information. For the past four years, Brashears has helped shaped the vision of ownership, privacy, and security in Second Life, Linden Labs’ award-winning, user-created digital world. The Second Life platform is a frequent playground for thousands of active creators of games, socialization experiences, and adult entertainment. Brashears was also a key member in the development of Burningman's Net-based collaborative volunteer and work tool.
