Current Research

When Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his team conducted interviews in the 1940s and 1950s, they were recording a taxonomy of human sexuality - documenting the range and variability of human sexual behavior in the U.S.

Today's research questions are informed by developments in psychology, neuroscience, biology, gender studies, sociology and other fields, and reflect a new emphasis on the complexities of sexual interest, behavior and sexual health.
