Dear
Lisa and John,
It
seems that you cannot please everyone, so sad to see families
divide over a beautiful subject like sex and sexual behavior.
Obviously your family doesn't realize how many male and female's
out there who are dysfunctional when it comes to sex.
It
looks like some of your family members are a little narrow minded
and have no aptitude for change or from the many benefits your
site and "wisdom" it provides. You are probably better off without
their input, and no matter how hurtful it seems, you at least
have each other, and a web site that is an excellent source of
information.
Please
keep up all the good work that you do. It is always nice to hear
from you and what's going on.
I
support you in your goals. It's unfortunate that your chosen profession
puts you at odds with some family members. Your mature decision
reflects well on you, but the strain that others' attitudes caused
is very apparent.
Best
wishes for your continued work in this field. Perhaps time will
allow the other persons in the family to develop a more adult
outlook.
It's
their problem, let them change their names.
Lisa
& John:
More
power to you. Congratulations. My wife and I -for different reason-
have also been disowned. We are 53 years old now.) Our family
is beyond our blood ( I know you know). Keep up the good work.
PS:
no need to answer, this is just a show of support. One love.
Hello,
I just want to tell you I am very glad of your choice...the article
of which you are speaking meant allot to me...I just so happen
to be one of the ladies that can have such a beautiful experience...and
am glad that it was discussed so nicely. And I am sorry you have
gone thru what you have with family and friends...I am glad you
have decided to continue with what you believe. Thank you...
Dear
John & Lisa,
I
just received your email regarding you name change. I am sorry
that some of your family has been negative towards you both. Let
me say that I feel that you both are wonderful people who are
providing important information regarding sexual health. Sex is
a wonderful act that should be enjoyed; not be ashamed of. Please
keep up the good work on this site!
Dear
Lisa and John, It is sad to hear your news, but I am in support
of your decision. I hope the best for you and John. Good luck
Lisa and John Lawless!
I
also think that it is completely ethical to teach what you do.
I think that, especially with female ejaculation, many people
have been wronged by the views given to them by society. I'm glad
that someone is trying to help.
I
think it is cruel what your family members have put you both through,
but CONGRATULATIONS! You have not sunk to the small minded level
and that's great to see. Keep up the good work!
Dear
Lisa,
From
someone whom you do not know, but can understand your choice.
As difficult as it may seem, there comes a time within everyone's
sphere where they must break away from the tribe. Standing up
for you higher purpose is greater then caving to the pressures
from those you love. You are on your path and your purpose. May
you journey with love and light.
Lisa...
Keep
up the good work that you do...if only these family members and
other people could experience the wonderful things that the body
can generate they would know why you do what you do. I know 100's
of women and men that could use a good newsletter and visit to
your site. Sexuality is beautiful...erotica is beautiful. and
a place to go to learn about these things is REALLY needed and
I appreciate your work.
Thank
you Lisa...this is just great and honestly too bad about the family.
I actually found your site looking for depictions of the female
genitalia as I am venturing out to do some (classy) pen and ink
erotic art with much trepidation about my family seeing my switch
from an insurance agent to erotic artist!! (At age 56 yet).
This
is the kind of art you could easily hang in your home...so thanks
for the photos on your site, which I have earmarked for further
study. You guys just go and have the ball in life you were destined
to do!
Just
keep going. You are doing NOTHING wrong. I fear that the relatives
are repressed like most of the planet, and this is some healing
work (sex and pleasure) that I have been contemplating doing as
well as the art. so we are on the same wave length, and hey, your
hubby is total eye candy, as you know!!!!!
Hi
Lawlesses,
A
terrific choice of name - maybe you should add "anarchist" as
ur middle name. Let go those idiots- if they are dumb enough to
disown you for such silly reason, they don't deserve any respect
or consideration. Consider your readers as your family!
Dear
Lisa and John,
I came across your web site a month ago and felt truly pleased
that someone had the guts to express - and explain - the joy of
female orgasm. To me you are actually pioneers in this field,
and I sincerely hope you find the energy and support to keep up
the good work.
Personally
the experience of wet orgasms has been the most joyful impressions;
I have had of the opposite sex. Actually it almost makes me religious
- the pure liquid that comes from nowhere and seems to be able
to keep coming fills me with bliss like the experience of eternity.
It gives a man a lesson of the female wonder as the representative
of unbeatable creation.
Whatever
- I just want to express a reader's support and the hope that
you will not give up!
John
And Lisa
I
commend you for your courage to respect the wishes of your family
members that do not agree with your career choice. I truly hope
they will now at least embrace you as they have before. As you
mentioned family is important and respect is equally as important.
Keep up the good work.
Please
continue your invaluable work and take pride in knowing of the
many people you help to reach their full human selves.
Dear
Lisa and John,
I
was sorry to hear that your information service has caused you
internal conflicts within your family. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for publishing your articles, the last
of which prompted me to discuss what I thought was an embarrassing
issue with my renal consultant.
I
had a kidney transplant about 4 yours ago and since the drugs
that I take to keep me alive and healthy, have caused a decline
in my erections. Your openness and frankness about such situations
inspired me to ask for help, which I have got, and now me and
my partner are at it like rabbits again. I am glad you have found
the courage to carry on despite what must be a very hurtful scenario.
The very best to you both, and once again thanks.
This
has got to be a very difficult thing for you to do and I applaud
your bravery and eternal optimism. Your family has hurt themselves
deeply by dissociating from you because of your healthy beliefs.
That value system is puritanical and punishing, traits hardly
representative of a healthy mind.
What
is ironic and equally sad is the idea that after several decades
they have decided, in effect, to take back a gift that represented
your first exposure to an act of selfless love. They gave you
their name when you were born without strings, without expectations.
Now that your are adults, they seem to feel selfless love is no
longer valid and thus retract the gift for the most selfish of
reasons.
It
never ceases to amaze me the human desire to debase the most fundamental
concepts that are the things that make us human to begin with.
Good for you. Congratulations on your new name. You are a model
for those of us wanting to unshackle the chains that keep us from
flying free.
Hi
Folks!
Allow
me to join the thousands of subscribers who are going to send
a response to you about your career decision. Personally, I think
it is not only brave but admirable in what you are doing. Selfishly
speaking, your overall objective is to use your business as an
income source as well as a teaching tool.
So
I ask you...does this site and the services you provide pay the
rent? Do you eat a hot meal every night before retiring for the
evening as a result of this service? Do you drive a fairly decent
car that's not on the side of the road more so than it is on the
road? I can use many other lifestyle necessities that only money
can make possible that I'd like to believe you get from your business.
If
any of my questions result in a yes answer from you, then to hell
with the family. It goes without saying that the people who have
the strongest opinion about you are the ones who do not pay your
bills. I have a suggestion for you. Show these people how much
they are missing out on letting their fake image override their
love for you.
Contact
a reporter in your area and ask them to do a story on you. If
a newspaper company agrees, why don't you buy a hundred copies
of that paper and send the article to everyone in your family
with your former name. Then send them a copy of the checks you
are receiving to prove how wealthy you have become from all the
exposure you will receive. I too, am ostracized by my family,
but it is all because I am poor and they do not want anything
to do with me.
As
soon as I can afford it, I do plan to purchase your product and
now I am even more inspired because of what is happening to you.
I am one of your clients that desperately needs a sexual boost
in my life for I have not interacted sexually in over a year.
I need to feel good within myself and confident about myself and
I'd like to believe your program will help me. I hope you will
respond to this message personally and allow me to communicate
with you one to one.
God
Bless you both for what you are doing and keep your chins up during
this moment of turmoil in what is considered to a successful lifestyle
for you both.
Is
there going to be any change or anything different about the site?
The site is a good site and I feel that the format is a good one.
Keep up the good work.
I'm
not sure if this is the right place to tell you, but I wanted
to reply to the newsletter you sent out regarding your name change.
It seems to me what you did was a completely selfless act, done
purely for the benefit of others. I'm so glad you felt the need
to continue was strong enough to take what is quite a big decision.
I'll support you always.
Well
I wish you guys the best; sorry you have been through all that!
I have updated your records with the new information. I wish you
the best!
Hello
Lisa this is ___ I have talked to you on the phone a couple of
times. When I opened you letter I did not expect to read what
I did. I am so sorry that your family has not been supportive;
to me that is what makes a family.
I
believe that your family is supposed to be there through thick
and thin good and bad. I would just let things be with your parents
and focused on making your new found fame grow. I believe that
you have a good product and so do the other thousands of customers
you have and will have.
People
just need to have their minds opened a little to see that your
product is worth investigating. Any Hoo I wish you the best of
luck with you parents and hope things work out in the long run.
Hi
Lisa,
Yikes!
It really is a shame that some people can't see past it! My Mom
always wished I had chosen another "better" profession, too! But
I'm lucky, in that she never stopped talking to me over it.
I
get your news letter every month I would just like to say if you
believe what you do is good. Then why settle for less... it is
like getting on a bus and sitting in the front as a black person
years ago.
Hi Lisa & John,
Best
wishes for the future with your new names, and in letting go some
of the past. Sometimes I have to remember that the only difference
between myself and others is time. I don't know what soul journey
I or anyone else is on, or indeed what experience or learning
that I have chosen in this lifetime. Hey we need to be different.
How else can we gauge where we are on this journey in relation
to everyone else.
It
is sad that folks appear a little narrow minded in their vision,
but as we all know that is a fact of life. There is a lovely saying
(I heard it from a Buddhist chap on the Isle of Man where I live
called ___) That goes like this:
Let
go a little...
A little peace Let go a lot...
A lot of peace Let go completely...
Complete
Peace Best wishes, for having the courage for "walking your talk"
And love and compassion for all. ___ and I, one of many will look
forward to your next issue.
Dear
friends,
I
found your last mail interesting - like your choice for a new
name; I can appreciate your reasons, I also much appreciate your
taking the time to express the philosophy which seems to guide
your work.
I'd
had a clue, though, from your Namaste. Most folks wouldn't have
bothered. At any rate I admit I've grown increasingly fonder of
you people for your Tantric awareness. We don't get a lot of that
here in the barbaric West. Sex is dirty and sold back to us as
we are bombarded with meaningless over-stimulation. Gratification,
but no satisfaction. Same with food, substances, cars, stuff.
From the deprived to the depraved is a short step. Capitalism
and psychology are a union spawned in hell. Spiritual experiences
aren't allowed but we always have Religion. Plenty to go around.
Anyway,
let me catch my breath and wipe off the foam ... thanks ... love,
peace and soul ... and of course, keep it UP.
Dear
Mr. & Mrs. Lawless,
Thank
you for your candid emails and information. I attend a women's
group which just discussed our Sexuality, (step 4) & how it relates
or differs from our Mom's sexuality. We discussed our society
and our relative's conditioning and what happens when we don't
respond to their closed thinking & don't get (our relatives) approval.
Poor,
poor mom who couldn't even tell me about my periods, let alone
where babies com from? Poor, poor women who refuse to learn and
take full accountability of themselves. I'm sorry to say that
my family has been very, very hard on me. Please continue in your
education...there are many of us who want to learn, and grow &
improve. We appreciate your efforts.
There
is MUCH light in world....there is no darkness about our beautiful
temples, our transporters we call our bodies. Thank you for your
newsletter. Peace & Light.
Hi
Lisa,
Thanks
for your fast and fulfilling answer. The integration of love and
sexual performance that you stand for, most certainly is disturbing
to people, who never obtained the experience. So maybe you just
need to implement more traditional terms of feeling in order to
make many more understand?
Anyway
- don't worry about the family, they know not better. Anyway this
intermezzo has inspired me to bring forward an idea: In Denmark
there are a few sexually oriented magazines, that might be interested
in a story about your holistic views of sex. As I am making my
living as a freelance journalist, I would like to try to write
an article about the subject of female wet orgasms combined with
a portrait of you and John. Of course this should be handled properly,
meaning that you feed me with the material, you find the most
important, whereafter I write the article and translate it for
your approval before offering it to these magazines. It probably
won't pay off very well, but I am more enthusiastic to see this
"truth" published for the benefit of all lovers.
Give
me a feedback whenever you like. (Still believing in peace of
mind and heart)
Lisa,
I'm
not surprised by the reaction of your family to your "Art of Female
Ejaculation." A very similar thing happen to me approximately
20 years ago when I discovered female ejaculation.
I
thought this was the lost treasure that everyone would want to
know about and would change the world. I was studying and writing
about Men's issues at the time and thought this was the true and
natural sexual equality of men and women. My partner at the time
was at least as enthusiastic as me and thought she had found the
Holly Grail. I was soon to find out that the last thing people
wanted to hear about was open and frank discussion of female sexuality.
As
a teacher in inner-city secondary education, I was placed on a
task force to try and find some solutions to the then alarming
rate of teen pregnancy. In reviewing most of the curriculums of
Sex Ed programs across the country, I was amazed to see what obviously
was an intentional avoidance of the female component of sexuality.
The
more I pointed out this flaw and its consequence to young and
many times miss informed minds, the more agitated and uncomfortable
professionals and educators became. While they were totally comfortable
in or outside the curriculum with discussing male sexuality in
sometimes graphically uncomfortable ways, they considered speaking
of female sexuality with openness and candor an invasion of privacy
and disrespectful of women. A huge and destructive double standard.
Their discomfort was so great that not only was I ask to leave
the task force, but if I carried on any more discussion with instructors
or health officials about the discrimination in the curriculum,
my job would be in jeopardy.
Over
the next few years, I studied the relationship of Sexuality and
Religion in our society very intensely. I came to understand pretty
clearly that to discuss and explore female sexuality out side
of pure reproduction is to turn the fundamental religious doctrine
inside out.
Every
paradigm of womanly virtue and purity was at stake. Even legal
and non religious people in this society are driven to protect
this doctrine at all costs. And that is that basically Men are
sexual and Women are non sexual but reproductive. To go against
this centuries old teaching is paramount to fighting the Holly
Wars.
God
bless you, this is probably what you are feeling. But you are
doing a needed and courage's work. There are few that understand
the impact that this work has on individual freedom and the strength
of relationships between men and women. Keep up the good work
and your contribution will be felt.
Dear
Mr. & Mrs. Lawless
Don't
worry! Many in this business work with assumed names, including
___"___". ____is my nom de guerre. As for the female ejaculation
video.... It seems sort of avant garde and risqué, now, even though
"amrita" has been celebrated for six thousand years in other cultures,
but we're all evolving quickly and I bet your in-laws et cetera
will embrace you again before long.
Your
web site is terrific. Keep going. I love it. My partner and I
wanted to create something like it at www.eroticawe.org but you're
way ahead of us. Please don't let this "little" conflict get you
down. Fight the anti-ecstasy conspiracy, as ___advises!
Don't
let the bastards get you down! All the best
I
really felt the urge to reply to this. Whether or not it will
ever reach you, I don't know. I don't judge, and I will never
understand people who do. People think sex is so taboo. It isn't.
It's wide, it's open, and it's out there. To find somebody that
will teach about sex is so refreshing. I mean, how else are people
supposed to learn about it? It's ignorance that gets teenage girls
pregnant and spreads STD's. Not stupidity. If people don't know,
how do they know any better?
I
have ordered your e-book female ejaculation and I subscribe to
your news letter. I am sorry to hear of your troubles. Your family
should realize that what ever you do as a couple that is legal
is great. I feel sorry for them, they are missing out. Keep up
the good work.
Sorry
to hear about all the trouble you have had to go through with
your family I bet it isn't an easy thing to do. I think the way
they feel about what you do is the reason people view sex today.
We seem to think Good Girls don't do things like that. Guys see
it in the movies and want it. We raise girls to be good, just
say no until we say I Do. Then at some point it gets hard to turn
the horney switch off. So we give in, but later in life the switch
gets hard to turn on.
If
we read the Song of Solomon in the Bible we find all kinds of
sexual acts allowed in realms of marriage. I hope you keep up
your work and someday they may see the benefits.
Aloha,
I
am saddened at your predicament but gladdened by your courage.
I serve in our Armed Forces and it is because of citizens with
values such as you exhibit, that I will continue to serve and
defend our constitution.
I
like the last name you chose. I deeply agree with you. Among other
things you are pretty right when saying:
"...We
chose the name "Lawless" to represent our letting go of boundaries
that do not serve our highest good. We believe that teaching sexual
health is not only ethical, moral, but very much needed in our
confused and repressed..".
Congratulations
for the name and for nit letting some " members of your family"
oppress you and try to push you back on doing properly your job.
Thanks for keeping me informed.
Lisa,
You
are a gem as well as you are beautiful. I am sure your photos
do not do you justice. I can only wish to look that well all of
the time. Thank you so much for the gift. I have not downloaded
it yet, but I intend to do so tonight when my kids are asleep.
No one has ever done anything like this for me before so this
is a very special gift.
I
hope that through the techniques I learn, I will understand my
own sexuality and stop allowing men to make me feel like an inadequate
lover. That is why I stopped having sex over a year ago. I must
say, yours is the most intelligent e-mail message I have received
in months. Just prior to reading your messages, I had to sift
through about 15 trash mails that I just point and click delete.
I even get to where sometime I hate opening my site because of
that. Also, people I do call friends do mass forward of a bunch
of "crap" from their friends and I have to sift through all of
that too.
So
please understand how excited I am to communicate with a real
person who is actually talking to me and not at me. I hope you
will follow my suggestion on getting some public exposure about
your service. I believe it could truly get some real attention
to include articles printed in magazines and media exposé's. I,
myself, wish I had known of you long before now.
As
a Black woman at the age of 47 years old, I have never in my life
experienced a natural orgasm without artificial stimulus and I
want to know what a real one feels like before I die. I'm sure
you know that women like me are not alone out there so, please,
get the word out about yourselves. Tell me what you think. When
I read about your relationship with your husband, I truly envy
you and I hope someday a man will appreciate me far beyond any
moment of sex he will get. Thank you again, and please stay in
touch.
You go girl,
and I totally support what you and your husband have done. Don't
give your power to anyone. You have a right to do and live your
life as you see fit.
I
have been getting your newsletters for some time now. Let me tell
you that my sex life has improved a lot. For some time my boyfriend
would never get home early, but ever since I started using your
tips in our sexual encounters, he has been coming home at five
every evening. We are still working on how to get me to ejaculate
but the process of getting there has been great. Keep up the good
work.
Thank
you again to ALL of our subscribers who sent us eMails listed
in this page and others. We can not begin to express the gratitude
for your support and enthusiasm for our work. Much love and light
to you all!
John
& Lisa Lawless
