Tell Your Story

tell-your-story

I just received an email from Felice Newman asking for volunteers to be interviewed for an up coming book. If you’ve been in a relationship for 5+ years please read the informaion below and participate if interested.

 

Lesbian, Bisexual & Queer Women Couples:

 

Have you been together for 5+ years?
Do you enjoy a satisfying sex life? 
I’d like to hear from you: What makes your sexual relationship work?

Will you help me research a new sex guide for lesbian couples?

I am conducting confidential interviews (via telephone) with couples who enjoy a satisfying sexual relationship. I am interested in exploring the ways we “grow” our sexual partnerships.


I want to know what makes your sexual relationship work. How do you sustain erotic interest over the years? How do you face the sexual challenges that inevitably arise in a long-term relationship? How has your coupled sexuality evolved? How does your partnership support your sexual growth and pleasure? In short, what are the payoffs of an ongoing sexual relationship?


I want to hear from couples who have been together 5+ years, and who feel their sexual relationship “works” — however you would define that. (Even if you wouldn’t say you have the perfect sex life, if you are generally fulfilled in your sexual relationship, I want to hear from you.)


The Whole Lesbian Sex Book has informed, supported, and entertained many thousands of women in the nearly 10 years since it was published. Now I’m turning my attention to couples. As a somatic coach and sex educator, I help many couples who are quite unsatisfied with their sex lives. I’m doing this research so that I can better help them—and, of course, the many couples who will read the book.


There will be a reciprocal aspect to these interviews. In our telephone conversation, you’ll have an opportunity to ask me questions, too.


All interviews will be strictly confidential, and interviewees will be quoted anonymously in my book.

If you’d like to participate, please hit REPLY, delete my portion of the email, and fill out the form below.


Thanks so much!


Best wishes,

Felice Newman

Thanks, Kelly! What’s even more amazing is this contest is taking place in Virginia, one of the least gay friendly places in the entire country.

    John Kerry didn’t out me, nor did he offend or attack me by calling me a lesbian. I certainly couldn’t be offended by the truth. — Mary Cheney
