University of Edinburgh-Speak

thought i'd spread it around; - from http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=85573310190 ;

Sex
Love it? Hate it? Want to have it?

Please submit your stories of sexual experiences to be published anonymously in "Speak: The Good, The Bad and Everything In-Between"

Speak is a book that the Women of the World Society is putting together to present the wide spectrum of stories that we all have regarding sex: good and bad. The stories will be ours, exclusively from University of Edinburgh students' (female and male.)

Do you have amazing sex all the time? Do you wish you had it more? Write about it! Have you made the concious decision to remain a virgin until marriage? Write about it! Do you have a guilty pleasure that you've never voiced before? Write about it! Are you frustrated with the sexual culture at the University? Write about it!

We also hope that Speak will provide a safe space for you to voice the times when sex did not go well for you. Have you had a sexual experience that you did not enjoy or in which you were violated or raped? If so, please take this chance to anonymously tell your story and raise awareness so that we can one day stop the violence.

We all have stories: women, men, straight, gay, virgins and non-virgins. This is an opportunity to sit down and reflect on your relationship to yourself and to sex. We hope that this book will empower you to speak up, whether it be a positive story or not.

Help us spread the word by inviting your friends to join, encouraging them to write, and writing yourself!

There are NO "wrong stories" and please feel free to get creative. A poem, a few short paragraphs, an essay- anything is welcomed and encouraged!

Stories can be submitted to womenoftheworld2008@gmail.com and will be only be read by the three women putting the book together. Your privacy is extremely important to us and know that your name will NEVER be attached to your story.

If you'd prefer to remain anonymous, even by email, please feel free to sign on and send your story through our gmail email account.

Just checking - you do mean only write IF you are a Uni of Edinburgh student right ? It does say this once early on but then gets so inviting it has me wondering...

they keep spamming their fb group for it, having exxtended the deadline for it, so i don't think they'd care. i'd fire off an e-mail to them if you're interested though.
