Hello,
I am a researcher at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University, a collaborative of sexual health scholars from across the campuses of Indiana University and strategic partner academic institutions around the globe who, in partnership with practitioners from community-based health organizations, government and industry, work toward advancing the field of sexual health through our research, education and training initiatives. We recently reached our goal of obtaining the largest, most comprehensive and representative (that we know of) data on the sexual behaviors and sexual enhancement product use of men who have sex with men and heterosexual men and women throughout the US. However, to date, little remains about the sexual attitudes/behaviors/product use of women who engage in sexual behavior with other women. Thus, we are currently recruiting for a study entitled the Global Women’s Sex Study. Our hope is to make the largest, most comprehensive and most inclusive study of the sexual behavior and sexual product use of women who engage in sexual behavior with other women. We will not profit from the information (of course, intellectually—just not financially). Our findings will be used to publish academic articles and educate community/medical professionals about the needs and wants of this diverse community. Hopefully, leading to happier and safer sex!
We are trying to be as inclusive as possible in our recruitment (all English speaking self-identified women). So, we found the best way to do this was to recruit over the internet. Participants will be thanked for their time with a coupon which is good towards the purchase of products from a website that caters to women. I am not sure whether the survey would be appropriate content to post (facebook, tweets, blogs, etc are all welcome) but we would be extraordinarily grateful if you felt comfortable helping us in our recruitment goal. You can feel free to use the recruitment message below or past the link along with whatever message you think would be most appropriate (http://www.womenshealth.iu.edu).
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Vanessa

Recruitment message:
The Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University is conducting the Global Women’s Sex Study to learn more about the sexual lives, pleasures and experiences of women who have sex with other women.
The data will be used to help us understand the sex lives of women in the bedroom (and beyond) in order to promote better and safer sex between women. Current knowledge of sexual pleasure and risk between women is largely based on either heterosexual models of sex or relatively small groups of women which may not represent the thoughts/feelings/behaviors of you or your community.
The information learned in this study will be used by sexual educators who want to promote pleasure and medical professionals who can help women identify ways to protect themselves from any risks--- hopefully leading to safer and happier sex.
