“Your blog and writing are really wonderful, and really speak to me in many ways. It's been hard but really amazing to let myself think, and ask for, all of the things I want and need from sex.” - Leah

“I've really enjoyed reading your blog and sharing it with my more butch partner. It's helped us both to talk about things we both wanted to discuss but didn't quite feel comfortable broaching.” - Anne

“When I was coming out it was hard because I wanted a more aggressive lover. When I talked about it my friends and family thought I wanted a man. Finding your site made me happy that this was an okay feeling.” - Paris
