THE STANMORE SEXUAL INTIMACY SURVEY FOR COUPLES The following questions are meant to encourage couples currently

in an intimate relationship to expand their communication, and to allow for open, honest, and respectful discussion regarding their feelings about intimacy and sex in their relationship. Studies have shown that couples who are more open about their feelings, preferences, concerns, and ideas in regards to intimacy have stronger and longer-lasting relationships. Studies have also shown that couples who avoid discussing intimacy and sex are more likely to end up separated, divorced, or unhappy in their relationships. Please answer the questions in each section honestly, without holding back due to fear of what your partner may think. At the same time, when your partner reads his/her answers, be respectful, non-judgmental, and considerate of his/her responses. There is bound to be a question or answer that will make either partner feel hesitant or uncertain about sharing their feelings on the particular topic or apprehensive to know what the other person might feel about the same question. If there happens to be a question that you feel uncomfortable answering, simply mark it with an X, even if you provided an answer. This survey does not introduce questions involving sexual experiences outside of your relationship together. It is based on the assumption that the couple maintains fidelity within their relationship, no matter their relationship status. There may also be a few things you have never tried or are unfamiliar with, and this survey may give you some new ideas to consider. If you are not certain what a question is asking or you are unfamiliar with the subjectmatter, place a question mark next to the question (or you could search the Internet to better understand what it means and then answer the question). You and your partner will have the opportunity of sharing your thoughts on all of the questions together after you finish. Make sure to read the instructions carefully before each section because each section varies with how you will answer the questions. Enjoy.
