"What is the Purpose of this Project?"
It is said that 70% of women don't have orgasms during intercourse. And many women don’t orgasm at all. Yet despite all of our many ways to communicate these days, this is a subject not many women, in any culture, are comfortable talking about.
The purpose of this project is … … to raise awareness of this issue, to open up communication. To let women know they are not alone, there is nothing wrong with them. To lessen the feelings of inadequacy, guilt, shame and dread women have around this issue. It is to change our culture around this taboo topic in a positive way. It is that many women from around the globe resonate with this project and will step up and share their story so that we can together inspire and empower each other to make a difference and create real change. It is to change the statistics (that say 70% of women don’t climax during intercourse) for the better. It is to involve men into this conversation, as well. If this is an issue that affects women, it obviously affects the men in their relationships as well. I am sure there is many a man out there who is wondering if he is doing something wrong, or why he can’t make “IT” happen for his woman. So I know there are men out there who know what helped, what worked, what made “IT” happen. I think it is important to capture the male perspective of this particular issue as well as the female. So, if you’re a man reading this, please share your insights with us or if you haven’t experienced this in your life, share it with your friends who might be interested in sharing their story. It is to speak publicly on talk shows and stages about this issue. It is to share resources, knowledge and inspiration. It is to create safe environments for women to talk about it. It is, last but not least, to support causes that help women. Part of the proceeds will go to organizations who are working to end female circumcision (FGM Female Genital Mutilation), sex-trafficking and child pornography. At that point the project will have come full-circle for me. |
