Dr. Patti Britton

Dr. Patti Britton holds a PhD and Masters in Public Health, both in Human Sexuality, and is a Kinsey Institute legacy scholar. She is an AASECT-Certified Sexuality Educator, served as Past President of AASECT (2006–2008), and was named the 2016 AASECT Sex Educator of the Year. She is widely credited as the founding “Mother of Sex Coaching” — a field she pioneered with her landmark 2005 book The Art of Sex Coaching, still the foundational training text used by sex coaches worldwide.

She has run more than fifty Sexual Attitudes Reassessment programs across seven countries and chaired more than thirty doctoral dissertations.

Patti has authored five books and over four hundred articles on sexology. She has been a creative collaborator with the Alexander Institute for over twenty years — she wrote Loving Sex for Loving Couples with us in 2016, and her name appears as an expert host on more than a dozen of our films, including Great Sex Over Fifty, Modern Tantra, Modern Kama Sutra, The Art of Advanced Oral Sex, and Anal Play for Couples. If you’ve watched a serious instructional film on adult sexuality in the last two decades, there’s a real chance Patti was the guide.

Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, and Oprah Magazine.

Patti reviews articles on relationship intimacy, perimenopause and aging, sexual healing, and the long arc of partnered desire — the subjects she’s spent her career thinking about more rigorously than almost anyone alive.
