Find out how to unleash your wild side – and live your best life without guilt or shame.

Rachel has written tons of articles for outlets such as Playboy, Penthouse, The Washington Post, Maxim, Allure, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Bustle, Shape, and The New York Times. Her willingness to engage in complete and utter nonsense like rent a guy for a party or cast a sex spell has led her to eschew the traditional Indian doctor path and landed her a career as an accidental sex writer. Along the way she spent an evening with Pamela Anderson, manifested a guy who looked like Jesus, heard Gwen Stefani pee, and hid in the bathroom of The Chateau Marmont. After a boyfriend broke up with her via sticky note, she decided to take her lemons and turn them into lemonade. She channeled her energy into her own stationery company, Crimson and Clover Studio, now sold worldwide.
