First off, I truly hope I'm not intruding by posting this here. I don't mean to cause trouble. But this seemed like an unsually articulate and open forum. So I thought I'd take a chance.

My name is Tom Forman. I'm a producer at CBS News, on a show called 48 Hours. It's hosted by Dan Rather, and airs Thursdays nights across the USA.

I'm currently working on an hour about, well, sex. Now THAT got your attention! The concept: as we enter the new millennium, we're also entering a Second Sexual Revolution. For the first time in generations, we're comfortable talking about sexuality... sharing our desires... and trying to deal with our problems. It's going to be a great show, I think. Very positive, and very important.

I've been talking to a couple of sleep experts about including a story on "sleep sex" in the hour. It's a problem most people don't even know EXISTS... But as we grow more comfortable with our own sexuality, we've begun to talk about it... and try to understand it.

All of this is a long way of saying, I was fascinated to read a number of posts on this board. People seem to be discussing this "silent" problem with care and understanding. I wonder if anyone who finds themselves in this situation would ever consider sharing their story with CBS News? Our goal, of course, is to spread the word on this very real, very common problem.

If you're interested, please contact me. The sooner the better! My e-mail address: tfo@cbsnews.com

I hope you'll feel comfortable at least talking to me. After that, we can do whatever you decide. Maybe we can reach some people. And we'd probably even have an okay time doing it. Promise.

And again, I'm sorry for barging in this way. I won't do it again. I hope this post doesn't make you the least bit uncomfortable... It shouldn't.

All my best,

Tom Forman
Producer
CBS NEWS/48 Hours
