Looking forward to this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m thrilled to be presenting at This Girl is on Fire: Menopause Online S*xceptional Weekend, hosted by SHA (*xualhealthalliance) on January 25-26th, 2025!

Join us for this virtual weekend packed with groundbreaking research and practical strategies to support clients and patients navigating peri-menopause and menopause. As part of this event, I’ll be sharing results from the Womanizer Menopause study, which we conducted at the earlier this year. We collected a nationally representative sample of 1,500 US women ages 40-65 to address a number of understudied s*xual health topics in women who are approaching menopause and those who are in various stages of it. 🌟

Join us for this exciting weekend to break taboos, share knowledge, and empower women through science and connection! 🙌

This study from the Kinsey Institute Condom Use Research Team (KI-CURT) looked at condom-associated er****on problems during application and penile-vaginal in*******se.

Participants reported:

75% er****on loss during condom application.
78% er****on loss during in*******se with a condom.
52% experienced both.

** TAKE AWAYS **

Condom desirability can be improved by:

✅ Spreading awareness on the range of condoms available;
✅ Encouraging communication about condom use BEFORE s*x;
✅ Encouraging people to practice using a variety of condoms.

Exploring and experimenting with a small amount of l**e can also increase pleasure and decrease dryness and irritation when using a condom.

Factors that participants felt contributed to their er****on loss:
- distraction/interruption,
- issues with fit and feel,
- application taking too long,
- not being ‘turned on’ enough,
- and partner-related factors.
