[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] It does sound like he could probably benefit from either reading some other survivors stories, or, perhaps better still a resource intended for partners of survivors. Even a book FOR survivors would do well, and Staci Haines' book specifically about sex for survivors might be just the thing. That's "The Survivor's Guide to Sex." I'd hope that when someone has a partner who is a survivor that if they didn't already feel very educated about that, they'd take it on themselves to do some reading. Just like, say, we'd do if we started dating someone who was diabetic and didn't know anything about that, or from a culture we didn't know well. If he hasn't done that himself, I don't think asking him to do so is "making" him do so. I think it's just asking him to do what, really, we'd expect someone who really wanted to understand would WANT to do, you know? [/QB][/QUOTE]
