Having Difficult Conversations with your Partner(s)

Issue Zero

For Issue Zero, Kindred Fantasies Magazine is exploring the conversations we find difficult to have with our partner(s).

Your responses will help shape the content of the issue, ensuring the questions we explore and the information we provide reflect what people are actually experiencing.

This survey is anonymous and there are no right or wrong answers. You can skip any question you do not feel comfortable answering. By completing this survey, you’re happy for us to use your responses to help shape the articles in this issue and to share an anonymous summary of the findings.
