Sex, Love & Elephants with Dr. Cheryl

“Dr. Cheryl, is there really a way to make Valentine’s Day special?”

“I have nothing but bad memories around VDay, how can I change that?”

“Is there really a way to make a commercialized, overblown holiday romantic?”

Show of hands—who here hates Valentine’s Day? It's a heck of a lot of pressure to pull out the greatest romantic experience possible and to do a better job than Hollywood, isn’t it?
