New SEXPLORATION(TM) Test Helps 100 Million Singles Celebrate National Singles Week in TRUE(R) American Style

  TRUE Gives Singles 100 Million Reasons to Think About Sex - and Find Their
                 Sexual Personalities and Compatible Partners

    DALLAS, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- A day in the life of today's American
single: the double date from hell, the endless happy hours in hopes of meeting
that "special someone," or working the 90-hour week and simply being too tired
to go out and meet anyone.  They probably don't need another reason to think
about sex. However, there are one hundred million reasons.  Just ask today's
American singles who are walking around the United States frustrated ...
because they can't find their truly compatible partner.  Well, for you singles
-- all 100 million of you*  -- it's time to stand up, be counted and
celebrate.  This year, in honor of National Singles Week, TRUE, a leading
online relationship service, will introduce singles to SEXPLORATION, a new,
free, scientifically based test, to help them identify their own sexual
identity and most compatible partner.
    Building on its mission of helping single adults find meaningful,
long-standing and compatible relationships, TRUE invites all singles to join
the more than 140,000 Americans who have already experienced the world's first
smart, computerized, adaptive, scientifically based relationship readiness sex
test that is taking the single's scene by storm -- SEXPLORATION.
    "We want to put a stop to the growing number of Americans who have yet to
find a compatible partner, and what better time for singles to take the first
step toward change and begin a self-awareness process than during National
Singles Week," said Herb Vest, CEO of TRUE.
    SEXPLORATION is the latest in TRUE's series of scientifically based
Relationship Readiness Tools(TM) that provide singles with a fun and dynamic
way to explore their sexuality, enhancing communication and self-growth.  This
unique test enables them to identify traits and understand elements of sexual
compatibility that they want in a relationship from the beginning --
ultimately providing a well-rounded connection with a partner.
    TRUE's expert team of clinical and research psychologists created
SEXPLORATION based on proprietary research, obtained through an intensive
study of men and women and their preferences and general attitudes toward sex.
This extensive research helped identify and define, for the first time ever,
eight different sex personalities and the compatibility factors among them.

    Know Your Type
    The eight different sex personalities are defined as:
     -- The Traditionalist: Don't let the name fool you!  Traditionalists are
        full of heat that so far they've released in pretty standard ways.
        When it comes to sex, they're comfortable doing it, comfortable
        talking about it and good at listening to what their partner wants.
        Traditionalists do well with every sex type with a little work, but
        naturally partner best with other Traditionalists, Introverts and
        Intellectuals.
     -- The Maverick:  These individuals are provocative, adventurous and
        uninhibited.  They're the Indiana Jones of the bedroom -- or anyplace
        else they decide to have sex.  If they hear about it, they'll probably
        try it.  Mavericks like their partners to be mutually aggressive and
        experimental.  Mavericks are most compatible with other Mavericks,
        Fantasizers and Subservients.
     -- The Intellectual:  Intellectuals are comfortable talking, thinking and
        analyzing the idea of sex, but they generally don't move into the
        provocative side in practice.  Intellectuals find their best partner
        in other Intellectuals, but they also work well with Traditionalists
        and Subservients.  Intellectuals can also have steamy passion with the
        other five sex types, if they work at it.
     -- The Fantasizer:  Fantasizers love to talk and dream about sex, but
        when they get behind closed doors, just watch them put those dreams
        into action.  Fantasizers get busy best with other Fantasizers, but
        they generate some serious heat with Mavericks and Initiators.
     -- The Contradictor:  Contradictors seem reserved and conservative, but
        inside, they're wildcats. They tend to be sexually dominant and prefer
        their partner to show a mutual interest.  Contradictors can do well
        with every sex type with a little work, but naturally partner best
        with other Contradictors, Subservients and Mavericks.
     -- The Introvert:  Introverts like physical intimacy, but they are a
        little shy about starting sex. Introverts are most compatible sexually
        with Traditionalists, Initiators and Contradictors, although
        Introverts can work well with every other sex type.
     -- The Initiator:  These are individuals that like to lead, rather than
        follow.  They're up-front about telling their partner what they need,
        how to do it and for how long. Initiators push themselves to find new
        ways to take a walk on the wild side.  Initiators find their best
        partner in Subservients, but they also work well with Introverts and
        Fantasizers.
     -- The Subservient:  Subservients are submissive, but with an attitude:
        They know what it takes to get the job done, but they want their
        partner to do the heavy lifting. Subservients are curious and willing
        to explore, and once things get going they'll work just as hard to
        make sure their partner is satisfied.  Subservients are most
        compatible with Initiators, Contradictors and Mavericks.

    Taking a Test Drive
    The SEXPLORATION test takes users through a series of relevant and highly
personalized questions that measure three key factors of sexuality and,
because of its adaptive approach, the test ensures individuals have a short
but very enjoyable and dynamic testing experience.
    Once the test is completed, a detailed report provides the user with
information about the sexual attitudes and behaviors that characterize his or
her particular sex type, along with information on compatibility levels with
other types, providing singles with yet another tool to find meaningful,
compatible partners.
    SEXPLORATION is endorsed by Psychology Today, and its technical quality is
certified, as a result of an independent audit by Integrated Knowledge
Systems, Inc., as conforming to the 1999 Standards for Psychological and
Educational Testing as established by a joint committee of the American
