Questions & answers.

How do I get my guides?

Right after you check out, you get an email with your private download link. As soon as your card payment goes through, the link opens your PDFs to download and keep. The link works for 180 days.

Who are these guides for?

Adults 18 and over who are curious, experienced, or trying to understand a partner. They are written for every orientation, gender identity and relationship structure, and you don't need a partner to use them.

Do the guides tell me what to try?

No. They are educational and reflective, not how-to manuals for particular activities. They help you understand your interests, boundaries and communication, and nothing in them is an instruction or an invitation to participate in anything.

Is this the same as therapy?

No. The guides are for education and self-reflection and do not replace care from a licensed professional. If you'd like support, you can book a free 15-minute consultation with Debbie.

Is my order private?

Your download link goes only to the email you enter, and Debbie does not share your information. Your name, email and the guides you chose are used only to deliver your order.
