Send us Fan MailOne of the most frequent questions I’ve had since The Great Sex Rescue was published has been: “Have any of the authors responded to your critiques?”People want to know–has anyone owned their mistakes and made changes?And the quick answer is no. I wanted to have a central place where I can show you what the authors who HAVE said something have said. And I need to say something. This is a personal podcast.Links to things mentioned:The Great Sex Rescue Download our rubric and scorecard!
