This publication is a celebration of the many people<br />
who have fun, sexy and erotic sex that is also safer<br />
sex – their creativity and innovation were the original<br />
inspiration for The Pleasure Project and continue to<br />
influence our work.<br />
The Global Mapping of Pleasure would not exist<br />
without the hard work, commitment and generosity<br />
of the many people who are profiled within it,<br />
who shared their time and ideas with us, and who<br />
continue to change people’s lives with their sexpositive<br />
approach to safer sex.<br />
The Realising Rights Research Programme<br />
Consortium (www.realising-rights.org) generously<br />

the Director, Hilary Standing, of the Institute of<br />
Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, for<br />
facilitating this grant. We would also like to thank<br />
Susie Jolly of the IDS Sexuality and Development<br />
Programme for her ongoing support for this project<br />
and many other aspects of our work.<br />
We especially want to thank our volunteer researchers:<br />
Arushi Singh (IPPF South Asia, India); Juliet McEachran<br />
(Australia); and Lauren Chauvin (Independent<br />
Consultant, UK) for their help and dedication. And<br />
Lucy Atkin of Colibrí Consulting (USA and Mexico)<br />
and Hesperian Publishing, who not only helped with<br />
research, but provided feedback, advice and support<br />
throughout this project.<br />
Finally, Marten Sims deserves a huge round<br />
of applause for his fantastic design work and<br />
