I graduated valedictorian from the school of hard knocks; I'm a self-taught kid from the streets of Brooklyn armed with a 9th grade education…and an insatiable curiosity about people and their behaviors.

I have a motto that I've lived by ever since I became sexually active, and that's “bang as many guys as I can before I settle down.” I don't say that because I'm a big whore, I'm saying it out of common sense and experience. I look at sex partners like I look at a buffet table: I've got a plate, and there's a whole bunch of different types of dishes on that table for me to taste before I know of which I want seconds.

You've got to try them all as appetizers before you really know what you want for your entrée, or your dessert. When it comes to sex, experiencing each person's “flavor” is essential to developing a discerning palate. And like my mother always said, you've got to try everything at least once before you decide you don't like it.

When I was younger and she used to make me eat liver, I'd coat it in a forkful of ketchup and swallow it whole to mask the texture. And here's where the food analogy ends for me. If something doesn't taste good the first time around, or the second or the third, and all it does is give you a stomachache every time you eat it, then stop.

Unlike my childhood menu, you guys do have a choice in what you digest. Often we stay eating the same food over and over because we don't know how to cook, or we're too afraid or lazy to try something new.

I'm saying, if it tastes rotten, it is rotten; don't force it down your throat repeatedly. Clear your plate for something you actually like. Remember, it's a numbers game. There are many choices of partners out there and the perfect one for you could be just a taste-test away!

law logo2x bI'm going to share my thoughts, experiences and sex advice to you eager sponges and you'd better take notes. Why?

I'm a self-proclaimed sex-pert and a 44-year-old former Penthouse Pet Centerfold (Miss June 1993) who fell into the broadcasting biz more than a decade ago. I give sex, dating and relationship advice on TV and radio based on my real life experiences. I'm known as the modern day “Dear Abby” of the radio, except I like to think I'm the cooler, hipper, hotter version.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Noted and confirmed.]

I currently executive produce and host “The Single Life With Sam Phillips,” a TV series on Mav TV in 33 million homes with an uncensored audio podcast version on www.hottalkla.com. In the last 10 years I've hosted and produced 19 radio shows on 97.1 KLSX/FM Talk/CBS Radio in Los Angeles. I am also a B-movie actress (“Phantasm II,” “Angel 4,” “Dallas Connection,” “Weekend at Bernies II”), a TV talk show host (“Men are From Mars…Women are From Venus,” “Extreme Fakeovers”), a B-movie producer (the “Busty Cops” franchise), and a former reporter on the Playboy Channel's “Sexcetera,” a newsmagazine show focused on human sexuality.

So yeah. I know my shit. And if you keep up with me, you soon will, too. Class is in session.
