Dr. Rhoda Lipscomb has been counseling individuals and couples in the area of human sexuality for over 25 years. She received her PhD in clinical sexology from the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists in Orlando, FL and her Masters of Science in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. She has certifications in sex therapy, and clinical hypnosis.

She began her counseling career working in reproductive health clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, specializing in education and counseling around healthy sexuality, contraceptive and sexually transmitted infection care.

She is an AASECT certified sex therapist in private practice specializing in the alternative sexuality communities, such as open relationships, ABDL, GLBT, BDSM, kink and fetishes. She wrote her doctoral dissertation on the mental health experience of ABDL individuals, specializes in therapy for this community and has done speaking on the subject to help promote better understanding for individuals and their families.

Her approach to therapy is helping people to understand, accept and appreciate their sexuality with all the wonderful unique flavors that come with it. Shame, embarrassment, guilt and fear are poisonous to healthy sexual expression so letting go of old, irrational and impractical belief patterns can pave the way for a new and exciting beginning.

Her recent book, No More Hiding: Permission to Love your Sexual Self, is a guide for those seeking help with alternative sexuality such as BDSM, Kinks, fetishes and open relationships.

DaddaG a.k.a. LittleBoyGra My involvement in the ABDL and Age play community started way back in 2003 in Sydney Australia. I started out as a DL and I enjoyed some adult baby time as well. As things evolved I started enjoying more time, being a dad to adult baby boys and before too long I was recognized globally as a daddy. I am very experienced in age play and I have looked after hundreds of boys. One of the big reasons for me being a well known and successful dad, is that my little side has helped me understand what littles like and it has helped me tailor experiences for the little boys I have cared for, in that I want them to experience what I would want as a little. I also have a cute little side and I identify with being about 3 years of age. I love being cared for and that age to me was when in real life I was a happy little boy with loving parents who looked after me.
