SEXUALITY
Castleman never intended to become a “sex expert.” In 1973,
he was writing health articles for an alternative weekly.
The editor asked for a Valentine’s Day story, “How to Make
Love.” Castleman refused. He was 23. What did he know?
But the editor knew his girlfriend, now wife, Anne, and
appealed to her. Anne insisted that he write the article.
He read Masters and Johnson’s books, became fascinated, and
wrote the story. He’s been writing about sex ever since.
Castleman has written two sexuality guides for heterosexual
men and couples: Sexual Solutions (1980, 1989) and Great
Sex (2004).
His sexuality writing has appeared in many magazines:
Reader's Digest, Family Circle, Redbook, Self, Glamour,
Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal,
Men’s Health, Men's Fitness, Men's Journal, Psychology
Today, Natural Health, and Salon.com.
For five years (1991-1995), Castleman answered the sex
questions submitted to the Playboy Advisor. He has answered
sex questions for many Web sites, among them: WebMD and
Xandria.com. Altogether, he has answered more than 10,000
sex questions.
