INTRODUCTION
The title of my book ignited some
interesting reactions. People were excited, uncomfortable, or unsure what to
think. One thing was certain; the title
sparked curiosity in practically everyone that heard it.
One of the most amusing reactions
I received was from a disc jockey. I was
asked to do an interview on a gospel radio station. He was broadcasting from a
trade show, where I was promoting my book.
When the disc jockey saw the title, he walked away for a moment and
returned with an apology. He said that he could not allow me to promote my book
on his station because of his “obligation to God and his listeners.” I briefly explained that FREAK was an
acronym, and that I was also a Christian. But, I told him I understood his
position and was fine with it.
When I reached to take my FREAKY
card from his hand, he asked if he could keep it. He told me that he wanted to “pray on
it.” He further stated that he was
married, and the information might be helpful.
I walked away with a grin on my face thinking about how hypocritical it
was for him to say the things he said, and still want to keep the card which
exposed half of my body in a suit and the other half in fishnet lingerie.
In February of 2003, I lead a
seminar entitled, “What Do Men Really Want from Women?” The conversations that took place during that
meeting inspired me to write this book.
I included some of the responses to the survey throughout the chapters.
On a personal level, I represent
the Christian women that do not mind admitting they enjoy sex. Of course, you must be married and have some
limitations when it comes to your freakiness.
We are failing the tests of life
miserably and my concern is for children.
Our ignorance has impacted their lives, and we are seeing evidence of
that through the vast array of problems, they are having socially.
Your attitude towards sex and
understanding of acceptable alternatives need to be clear, preferably before
you get married. It is important to have a balance between the expectations of
your religion and the reality of the world in which we live. Being single and
uninhibited has negative consequences as being married and totally inhibited.
I am a neutral party in this
gender gap. I have passion for people
and I see the sexual issues from both women and men’s perspectives.
Part I, Lady in Public-- is a
comprehensive review of what it means to be a lady. High-level wellness is characterized by
physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual balance. You will be taken through 8 levels to finding
your purpose. Everyone is not going to
make it to Level 8 in this life; therefore, it is important to focus on
reaching your individual maximum capacity for growth.
Part II, A FREAK in the
Bedroom--was written to bridge the gaps between spirituality and sexuality. Sexual disagreements along with financial
problems are still the primary reasons why men and women decide to leave their
marriages.
This is a generalization,
however, I feel comfortable saying men are very sexual, visual, and serious when
it comes to getting their “FREAK on.”
I want us to level the playing field.
I asked the men at my seminar if
a FREAK would make a good wife. The response was 100%...“Yes!” Freak’s come in all sizes, shapes,
colors, cultures, and genders. They are not necessarily promiscuous, but
do exhibit above average skills in the bedroom.
There are several factors that
contribute to a good relationship. The areas that we are going to discuss are
the women’s responsibilities, simply because this book was written for
you. Men will follow our lead; they want
answers just like we do. So, let’s
refrain from pointing the finger and begin by correcting our behavior.
In interviews with women that
were having affairs with married men, there was a common response. The mistresses justified their actions by
saying that their “services would not have been needed if the wife would have
been doing her job.”
Infidelity is wrong, however, the
mistresses do have a point. In some
instances wives may be lacking a few skills in the bedroom. After all, the majority of our knowledge
comes from our personal experiences; therefore, some of us have more
information than others.
My desire is to bridge the sexual
gap that exists, and help the wives decrease their husbands’ vulnerability to
having affairs and also to improve the self-esteem of the mistresses, so they
will no longer accept the position of second.
Once they become comfortable with who they are,
is when effective and positive change will come.
My parents stayed married for 47
years...they literally let death be the only thing to part them. A solid marriage is priceless. We will have those types of successful
relationships again. Ladies, let’s
tighten up our game and take it to the next level, in and out of the bedroom.
And to you men out there…
While the book speaks
specifically to women, men are encouraged to read it as well. Since our issues mirror y
