The Desire, Intimacy and Wellness Inventory (DIWI) ™ was created by clinicians, Dr. Nicole O. Crawford and N. Jasmine Johnson after they identified a gap in inclusive sex-positive assessments and communication models across the lifespan. They recognize that clients need support to communicate and plan sexual wellness that is sex-positive, kink informed, grounded in consent, harm reduction, and sexual creativity. 

We recognize that there can be internal and external factors that discourage thinking about or openly discussing intimacy and sexuality. This inventory is meant to encourage open conversation with oneself and other trusted individuals (your medical providers, family, and partner[s]). 

The DIWI guides individuals through capturing their thoughts about topics including identifying fantasies, recognizing possibilities of and/or barriers to achieving desires, developing an intimacy and wellness plan, identifying pleasure advocates, and understanding how to communicate with others how these areas impact your health and wellness. 

We plan for many other things as we age. The Desire, Intimacy and Wellness Inventory ™  is designed to serve as a reflection tool for sexual self-care. The tool creates space to plan to incorporate and/or maintain intimacy, sexual health, and wellness as an integral part of individuals over the course of a person’s life. We want a 20-year-old and a person with 20 minutes of life left to use this!
