LOS ANGELES — Dr. Susan Block (aka "Dr. Suzy") has been named the 2021 Glenny Awards "Sexologist of the Year," handed out by "Sex in the Pews" podcast host Glenn Klein.
It is her third consecutive win in the category. Block has been a sexologist and sex therapist in private practice for 30 years, noted a rep. A columnist and cultural critic, she is also the host of the long-running program "The Dr. Susan Block Show."
"The great Greek philosopher Pythagoras considered 'three' to be the perfect number of harmony, wisdom and understanding," she said. "Plus, it's a hat trick, an honor, and a pleasure. The Glennys are better and sexier than the Grammys or the Emmys, and not just because the Grammys and the Emmys don't give 'Sexologist of the Year' awards, but because with Neo-Puritan fervor rising from the Right and the Left, it's important to acknowledge good sex."
"So I will continue to use my platform as 'Sexologist of the Year' to speak out for love, not war, freedom of speech, sexological research, and sexual healing, as well as advocating for our highly endangered bonobo great ape cousins who show us the way to consensual sex-positivity, female empowerment, male wellbeing, sharing, caring, ecosexuality and peace through pleasure," Block continued. "There is so much to do this year, but I'll never quit my day job helping people privately with that most sensitive of subjects, human sexuality."
