What Is It Really Like To Be A Sex Researcher?

August 7, 2014 by Justin Lehmiller

 

Nerve recently ran an article entitled “Meet The Modern-Day Masters Of Sex,” in which they interviewed four sexologists about how they got into the field, what a typical day looks like for them, and how their work impacts their personal life. I am honored to have been included among the interviewees, along with Drs. Debby Herbenick, Kristen Mark, and Sarah Merrill. I know that many readers of this blog are aspiring sexologists who will find this to be a worthwhile read. But even if you aren’t planning to study sex, this article does a nice job of highlighting just how diverse the nature of our work is and it debunks some common myths and misconceptions about sex and sexology.

Check out the full article on Nerve here.
