Dr. Dacker explores a new way to be communicative about sexuality to promote a healthier society and build better relationships with ourselves and others. Now more than ever we need a sexual paradigm shift and it starts by talking about it.
Interpretation for TEDxSalem V (2018) was provided by student interns through a collaboration between Western Oregon University, TEDxSalem, and the Deaf and interpreting communities of Oregon. The volunteer student interpreters were supported by volunteer, certified interpreters in order to minimize potential errors. Your support of these pre-professional interpreters’ growing skills is appreciated. Dr. Evelin Dacker has been practicing medicine in Salem since 1996. Her interests are in women’s health, holistic and integrative medicine and sexual health. In 2005 she opened up Salem’s first holistic medicine clinic, VIDA Integrative Medicine. While not practicing medicine, Evelin enjoys being in nature, travel, dance and spending time with her family and friends. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
