Sherri Langburt conceived of Single Edition more than 13 years ago when at 24, she chose independence over matrimony and career over homemaking. Living alone in a big new city, Sherri quickly discovered the negative misconceptions and stereotypes facing today’s single adults and the serious shortage of support resources for unmarried individuals – an influential and overlooked population segment.
Over the course of her personal and professional journey, Sherri’s proof of concept became increasingly clear and was consistently validated by real life experiences as a single woman. In 2007, after developing years of interactive marketing and business development expertise as well as exposure to global media and CPG companies, Sherri launched Single Edition Media, the company of which she always dreamed. Today, Single Edition Media makes lasting impressions through SingleEdition.com, content syndication with third party publishers as well as lifestyle learning events & seminars and through other experiential marketing programs.

The Ecstatic Journey of Birth & Sex – The Integral Trances of Pleasure & Procreation
There’s an integral relationship between the processes of labor and sexual arousal, and between birth and orgasm. Birth and sex are not separate events that happen nine months apart — in truth, these primal processes are inherently connected. They share the same equipment and pathways (electro-chemical, neurobiological, energetic and more). They are aspects of the same psycho-somatic-spiritual trance journey, profound and connected altered states of consciousness. Discover the connections between pleasure and procreation, fertility and ecstasy.
