Biography
My research interests are in the areas of sexual and reproductive health. My current research focuses on four main areas:
- The behavioural effects of hormonal contraceptives
- The relevance of sexual excitation and sexual inhibition to sexual health
- Sexual problems in women
- Condom use errors and problems
I have published articles on the following topics: the relationship between the menstrual cycle and changes in mood and sexuality; menstrual synchrony; methodological issues in recall data on sexual behavior, gender differences in sexuality; the relationship between mood and sexuality; sexual arousal in women, contraception and sexuality, asexuality, microbicides; and intimate partner violence.
I am a member of the Condom Use Research Team (CURT), a multidisciplinary research team involving The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, the Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (RCAP), and researchers from Canada and the U.S.
