Many of our misconceptions about sex and sexuality come from our understandings of what is normal and what other people experience. The truth is that our lives, including our sexuality, are much more complicated than we usually acknowledge. It is through stories that we come to understand such complications, and thus human sexuality. Personal Stories is dedicated to the people willing to share their personal experiences and the understanding that has come from them. Personal stories may be submitted for consideration by e-mail to s.baron@gmail.com. If you desire to maintain anonymity please establish an anonymous e-mail account and use that account to send your personal story. Authors of stories chosen for publication, which include the name of the author, will be contacted by the Center for confirmation of authenticity prior to publication. Authors are requested not to include the names or reveal the identities of other individuals in their stories for reasons of confidentiality. All contributions are subject to approval before they will be posted.
