Thank you to everyone for your generous words! It is an astounding privilege and honor to speak with you all every weekend. – Francisco

“You're amazing! I've learned so much from you professionally… and your amazing take on sex, sexuality, and the craziness of being a person.”

– Maggie M. from New York City

“Empathetic, compassionate, open-minded, articulate & well-spoken.”

– Sanya

“You are truly inspiring. It's great to know that someone such as yourself, is just offering yourself to the public. You've given me a new perspective of ‘just do it’ phrase. Keep up the good work!” – Natasha

“I met Francisco in New York's Union Square. I sat down with him and proceeded to tell him about my most recent half-decade relationship which ended in a difficult manner. I asked his advice on how to restart the process of meeting people after undergoing such a traumatic circumstance. Francisco wisely focused on the fact that it takes work to re-engage in the process if it is one that, indeed, I want to restart. I was impressed with his clarity, his lack of a "self-help" mindset, and the fact that he brought his impressive educational background -- and also his humanity -- to the task. I also like that he snapped me back into a certain reality... again, that this takes work, and the only way I will be able to "rejoin the living" (I write that quote with at least some humor/irony) is to make an effort. A valuable one, methinks.” – Jack K. from New York City

“I love this grassroots Public Health Education. What a simple yet brilliant way to do good work.” – Peach

“I've been a big fan of the Savage Lovecast for ages, and I guess after you were on I also developed a respect for you. I'm a final year Behavioral Science major and I think as a society and as individuals we need progress in terms of our ideas towards sexuality and sexual health. So I think that someone like yourself, who takes such a strong initiative, is such a positive influence in terms of perpetuating this progression. And the free advice project is awesome!!” – Kathleen B. from Australia

“It's cool to know there's a thoughtful, well-meaning dude like you lending an ear and some advice to total strangers!” – Pete
