This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Robert C. Kolodny''' (born 1944) is an American writer about [[human sexuality]] and related topics.

==Early life and career==
Born in New York City as the eldest child of Maxwell H. Kolodny and Selma B. Kolodny, he attended [[Edgemont High School]] in Scarsdale, New York, and [[Columbia University]] (B.A., 1965), where he studied with [[Moses Hadas]] and [[Susan Sontag]], with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. He then went on to [[Washington University School of Medicine]] in St. Louis (M.D., 1969), where he co-founded the school's first course on [[medical ethics]] in 1969 and studied with noted child psychiatrist E. James Anthony, who had trained under Piaget and Anna Freud. Kolodny did his internship and residency at [[Harvard University]] (at what is now the Beth Israel-Deaconess Hospital) and a fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism at [[Barnes-Jewish Hospital|Barnes Hospital]] in [[St. Louis]]. As the first medical student to study with [[William H. Masters]] and [[Virginia E. Johnson]] at what was then called the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation in St. Louis in 1968–69 (subsequently renamed the Masters & Johnson Institute in December 1978), Kolodny returned to this research institution after his training in 1972 and eventually became Associate Director, Director of Training and Head of the Endocrine Research Section of the [[Masters & Johnson Institute]]. His research focused primarily on the effects of drugs (both illicit and prescription) on sexual function, the effects of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and hypertension on sexual well-being, and studies of process and outcome of sex therapy, as well as topics in infertility. With his colleague Joan Bauman, Ph.D., Kolodny also conducted research seeking to identify the biochemical components (short chain aliphatic fatty acids) in human vaginal secretions that serve as pheromones in other mammalian species <ref>Bauman, J.E., Kolodny, R.C., and Webster, S.K., "Vaginal organic acids and hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle", ''Fertility and Sterility'' 38: 572-579, 1982.</ref>

Kolodny is Medical Director and Chairman of the Board of the [[Behavioral Medicine Institute]] in [[New Canaan, Connecticut]].<ref>((cite news |title=Deciding When to Seek Sex Therapy |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |author=Squires, Sally |date=1986-07-30 |page=14))</ref> He has served as a member of the Board of Advocates of [[Planned Parenthood]] for more than a quarter century. In 1983, he received the National Award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex in recognition of his distinguished career.((cn|date=November 2023)) He has been a visiting professor or guest lecturer at institutions such as The [[Smithsonian]], the [[National Institutes of Health]], [[Massachusetts General Hospital]], and the [[UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute]], and has conducted postgraduate medical education programs for tens of thousands of physicians and other health care professionals. Kolodny has been a featured guest on hundreds of national television shows, from [[Good Morning America]] and the David Susskind Show to [[Larry King Live]], Nightline, [[Crossfire (U.S. TV program)|Crossfire]], and the [[MacNeil-Lehrer Report]].((citation needed|date=July 2013))

In 1997, he joined the board of directors of [[Advanced Viral Research|Advanced Viral Research Corporation]], a biotechnology company specializing in peptide nucleic acids.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-19184927/advanced-viral-research-appoints.html|title=Advanced Viral Research Appoints Robert C.

Kolodny wrote a detailed defense of Masters and Johnson's sex therapy statistics following an attack on Masters and Johnson's credibility by the psychologists Bernie Zilbergeld and Michael Evans in ''Psychology Today'' in 1981.<ref>Zilbergeld, B., and Evans, M., "The Inadequacy of Masters and Johnson", ''Psychology Today'' August 1980, pp.&nbsp;29–43</ref><ref>Robert C. Kolodny, "Evaluating Sex Therapy: Process and Outcome at the Masters & Johnson Institute", ''Journal of Sex Research'' Vol. 17, No. 4: pp.&nbsp;301–318, November 1981</ref> In addition to providing updated and expanded details on how statistics were compiled at the Masters & Johnson Institute, Kolodny presented new data on psychiatric diagnoses in their sex therapy clients from 1971 to 1979 as well as further information about details of the Masters & Johnson Institute's telephonic follow-up of sex therapy clients. He also clarified the fact that the Masters and Johnson program was not obtaining its outstanding rates of success because of screening out complex or difficult cases, indicating that fewer than one out of 50 applicant couples were turned down for therapy.
