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 />

funded this research. We would like to thank<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 />

consultancy.<br />
