Before our honeymoon my husband and I didn't know from experience about sex, so for us to read about it was really important. We just wanted to make sure that we knew what to expect. I had never heard of the "good girl syndrome" until reading your book, but now I can see how that is a very real thing. Before getting married I always thought I would never have problems or concerns about sex, but after getting married I experienced shyness and insecurities that I never thought I would have...Click here for the rest of the story

As I started reading your book And They Were Not Ashamed, I quickly became aware that our sex life was not satisfying me. As I read your description of a female orgasm, I thought, that's not what happens to me! I had been aroused before, but I didn't realize I could have a reaction like my husband had.

We encourage you to participate in this research study conducted by a fellow student of the Institute for Sexual Wholeness (ISW).

Last summer we shared a research study on the sex lives of married couples sponsored by Utah Valley University (UVU). Part of the survey was based on the Good Girl Syndrome from Chapter 1 of our book And They Were Not Ashamed-Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment.

Newlywed participants are still needed for this study, so if you have been married less than five years and can talk your spouse into possibly taking it as well then CLICK HERE!
