Sex with Timaree

Sexologist Timaree Schmit earned a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality Education from Widener University, the culmination of a lifelong search for rational, sex-positive, empirically-based knowledge about sexuality.

As a youngster she read voraciously about sexuality and became the Go-To sage for friends and acquaintances who had sex questions.  This hobby eventually translated into becoming a certified HIV Prevention Counselor, PersUNL Peer Sex Educator and Adjunct Professor in Human Sexuality. Her foray into the world of sex writing started in 2003 as a weekly columnist for the Daily Nebraskan and has continued as sex writer for the Barbershop Notebooks , Philly Gay Calendar and East Coast Adult News.

Sex with Timaree podcasts cover a range of topics and feature amazing, entertaining guests whose lives and professions touch on sexuality. And was named one of the Top Five Noteworthy Sexuality Podcasts on iTunes.

As the founding Chair of HSEDSO, the Human Sexuality Education Student Organization, and founding Laureate Counselor of Gamma Eta Rho, the first national honor society for students of Human Sexuality, Timaree has worked diligently to promote factual, comprehensive sexuality education and to enable other emerging professionals in the field of sexuality to bring useful, helpful and supportive information to the curious world at large.

Dr. Timaree’s particular interests in the inordinately broad field of sexuality include: depictions of sexuality topics in popular culture, body image and sexual orientation, as well as the interaction of sexuality and exercise, an interest that has led to becoming an AFAA (American Aerobics and Fitness Association) certified instructor and a part-time gig as  Pilates, Zumba, Flirty Girl Fitness, Piloxing, Spinning, kickboxing and cardio/sculpting instructor at Sweat Gym and a number of other local facilities. She is also starting a new Hot Seat chair dancing class for Awakenings Pole Fitness.

She is a member of both AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists) and SSSS (The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality).
