Choosing the Title

Some of you may wonder how we got our title, When Sex Isn't Good. We can tell you we went through a lot of different names, including The Missing Piece (as in of the puzzle) but that had too many sexual overtones, and others so bad we can no longer remember. We were together in the car, after dropping Lauren and Jeremy (Sue's daughter and her then boyfriend, now husband) off at the airport. We were brainstorming back and forth and the title When Sex Isn't Good emerged. We loved it immediately and started testing the name on friends and colleagues. We got great feedback and it felt so good to us we decided to go with it. We had the basic framework of the book, some of the interviews complete (the inspiration for the title of course), and we finally had a title. This made the book all the more real for us because now we had given it an "identity."

What are your thoughts about the title? Send your comments, and the best will be posted on our book website, whensexisntgood.com, set to go live very soon.
