Lora Somoza was born with a big mouth and a number of opinions just waiting to be heard. She started writing stories at the age of 5 and continued on through college, graduating from UCLA with a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing.
Lora moved straight into film production and the delightful world of development, working such movies as “MouseHunt”, “The Mexican”, “Catch Me if You Can” and “The Ring”.
During a hiatus from filming, Lora co-produced a documentary on people in pornography. This knowledge would come in handy later. She also began writing dating articles for a now defunct magazine in Los Angeles.
Lora found herself with an offer to become the head writer, editor and all around personality of an online magazine for single women called SingleStylish.com. And with the success of one particular article regarding physical intimacy, a career in comedic sex advice was born. Often referred to as “The Naughty Dear Abby” Lora penned the ebook “Bliss in the Bedroom” and now writes a weekly column of the same name with over 30,000 worldwide. She is also contributing columnist for The Huffington Post.
She has been heard on The Playboy Channel, KABC Los Angeles, KBPI Denver and as Monday’s Co-host on The DAMage Report.
Now, it warms Lora’s heart every time she receives a marriage proposal from a stranger in Nigeria or Ibiza. And she knows she’s doing God’s work when a fan writes in to say, “Thanks to you, Lora, I’m GOING to try out a vibrator for the first time.” She continues to write about sex, Rush Limbaugh, and everything in between.
