Daytime soap opera diva Jacklyn Zeman, beloved for her long-standing portrayal of Nurse Bobbie Spencer on ABC’s highly rated “General Hospital,” now has a new role as the national spokesperson for Zestra® Essential Arousal Oils™. Co-founders Mary Wallace Jaensch and Rachel Braun Scherl announced today that the popular celebrity and former playboy bunny will be featured in all media and promotional activity for Zestra, the first clinically proven OTC sexual enhancement product for women. Ms. Zeman will appear in Zestra’s new TV, radio, print and online advertising.
As the star in the new Zestra commercials, Jackie will be sharing her prescription to help women have more sex and enjoy it more fully. The spot, to be taped in Dallas, will be aired in late Fall in leading U.S. markets. Hosting a symposium on the SECOND ACTS: GETTING OLDER, LOOKING YOUNGER, the fifty-plus beauty will be featured at “Beauty Bash”, a two day event at NYC’s Metropolitan Pavilion sponsored by FabOverFifty, a premiere online destination for successful, stylish women over fifty.
“We believe Jackie is an ideal match for Zestra. She has a sense of personal and sexual confidence. As an actress and healthy living fan, she has been a model to women, working women and working moms. She resonates with women over 40, Zestra’s primary demographic,” according to Braun Scherl. “She has been a highly positive role model for women, making her for a great messenger for talking to women about their sexual satisfaction.”
Professionally trained as a dancer at NYU, this Englewood, NJ native was hired as a Playboy Bunny prior to her ascent into daytime television history. In her new role as Zestra spokesperson, she is committed to help women break the silence about their sexual satisfaction. “It’s true that nothing in life stays the same…it only gets better,’ she maintains. “My objective is to help engage women to talk openly about their sexuality… and enjoy greater pleasure. And thanks to Zestra, I can tell women with confidence that it will be better in the bedroom for them every time.”

Where to put your money now:
It’s now a time to keep the statement from your 401K or retirement account closed; the Dow Industrial Jones is a yo-yo with huge fluctuations in gains and losses. Many are now suffering financial woes, and everyone is cutting back. Gone are the extended vacations, the glamorous shopping and the elegant dining.
Couples are now spending more uninterrupted time together and may be reexamining their relationships. Work family and financial stress certainly can impact the hormones of sexuality and can lead to decreased desire, delayed sexual response and even apathy in the bedroom. It is not uncommon that when preoccupied or worried, sexual arousal and satisfaction suffer
Stress reduction techniques include maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, aerobic exercise, and proper sleep patterns. Yoga and meditation may also help calm your anxiety. The practice of mindfulness, or attentive awareness, to the present moment may also be an effective stress-reduction technique.
Satisfying sexual activity is also a natural source of euphoria, and can enhance natural endorphins release. As an added benefit, satisfying sexuality can boost intimacy and provide comfort in an uncertain time.
If the woes of the stock market are causing anxiety and stress, and its impacting your sex life, try a sure fire investment, Zestra® Essential Arousal Oils™, is a clinical proven blend of herbs which can improve sexual satisfaction. It is non hormonal, topically applied and easily available on line. A small investment now will return unprecedented huge dividends: a fulfilling sex life with sensual intimacy is priceless.

It seams that many of my patients this month were talking about “the penis.” What could this mean? Women are now becoming more comfortable when it comes to discussing their own sexuality and sexual needs – we see more sexually explicit scenes on television and movies, stronger women who are sexually veracious and we are pushing the sexual envelop more and more. Women are now seeking specialized care from sexuality specialists to treat their sexual complaints whether it is painful intercourse, loss of libido or changes in orgasmic intensity and latency. The woman, herself, feels that her sexual satisfaction is her own responsibility – and a very important one at that. In the not so recent past, women were often made to feel reliant on their sexual partner for sexual satisfaction, the woman complied with his advances and hoped and often prayed his “sexual moves” would do the trick to excite and entice her sexually. A woman was often expected to be passive in sex play and if by some chance she happened to be sexually dissatisfied, it was never the man’s fault. She was often blamed and erroneously labeled as sexually frigid. Thankfully, the tides are changing, albeit slowly, that a woman must solely rely on her partner, his technique or his penis, to ensure her own sexual satisfaction. Women are now taking ownership for their sexual satisfaction! The concept that sex is all about the penis is slowly falling to the wayside, the female sexual satisfaction revolution moves forward.
In my sexuality center, women are asking more detailed questions about their own sexual response and anatomy and are seeking proactive solutions for their sexual concerns or difficulties. Effective solutions are available. My patients have experienced particularly good results with topically applied Zestra®- patented blend of essential oils and extracts which has been clinically tested to enhance sexual satisfaction. Purchase online or in the privacy of your own home and feel proactive on her journey towards sexual revival and satisfaction.
Just remember, it’s not all about the penis – it’s about you too, ladies.

It seems like everyone is talking about orgasms this month. Young or old married single divorced widowed or just dating women are asking about what has happened to their orgasmic response. Some women will tell of thunder and lightening that has fizzled to a brief pitter patter or rain and they are waiting, waiting and waiting with their umbrella only to be disappointed.
Sure orgasmic response can wax and wane, and it is affected by a variety of aspects including medical illnesses, medications as well as poor stimulation techniques but women do not have to concede to a lowered sexual response. Here are some helpful hints to help rev up that orgasm. Become empowered about your own sexuality. Let the thunderstorms begin!
1- If you think that medical illness or medications are affecting orgasmic response see a health care provider who specializes in sexual medicine- there are things that can be done to help
2- Get a good book and vibrator! Many women do not know their own genital pelvic anatomy so it’s always important to be well educated about your body and its response. Some of my favorites include the G spot, and Becoming Orgasmic. Vibrators can be very helpful when needing more stimulation. Do not be shy. There are many online sites that provide excellent shopping opportunities in the comfort and safety of your own home and will arrive in discreet packaging.
3- Know your body and explore. There are many erotic areas of a woman’s body and some are often neglected. Have your partner experiment with some new exciting areas like the breasts, nipples or nape of the neck. You maybe shocked at the electrifying results.
4- Try Zestra. Zestra has been shown in clinical studies to improve sexual satisfaction and enhance overall orgasmic experience- In my clinical practice I have many women who use it regularly and it provides that extra needed “oomph” to help them be pushed to the limit of ecstasy.

Linda Franklin, founder and director of www.therealcougarwoman.com and author of the bestseller Don’t Ever Call Me Ma’am, is smart, sexy, independent and proud to be over 40. Below she comments on the new documentary, Orgasm Inc: The Strange Science of Female Pleasure.
In the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD).
Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits
ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.
Female sexuality is a hot topic but one that is shunned by most media outlets
