How we met....

We may be thousands of miles apart, with Lil in Massachusetts and Sue in Japan, but we haven't stopped working or e-mailing. Hard to believe that a few years ago we didn't even know each other! So take a look at us now...and then....

Once upon a time Sue was responsible for educational programs in sexual medicine and Lil was a patient. They met and felt an immediate kinship. Lil sat on a patient panel Sue put together for a course for healthcare providers, and did a wonderful job expressing not only her physical problems but the emotional distress caused by the dysfunction. Before the start of the program Lil showed Sue pictures from her daughter's recent wedding. Lil looked beautiful, wearing the same color she is wearing here. Her dress was from a local shop, and she promised to take Sue there to look for a dress for her son's wedding. By the time that day was finished, they had become fast friends. It wasn't long before they were discussing the need for women to learn about their bodies, about sexual function, and about not having to give up enjoyment in the bedroom (or wherever).

By the time Lil and Sue drove to Salem, NH, to Michael's to buy her dress for the wedding, this book had already been conceived! Because we know how curious our readers are, here is a picture of Sue in the dress from her son's wedding. A picture of Lil in her dress from her daughter's wedding will be posted soon.
