🤝 Support Our Work

If you’re considering a donation, we’re deeply grateful. Our team at the University of Pennsylvania is pioneering research that explores what supports sexual well-being across various life experiences. Contributions help us keep this work alive, visible, and impactful—and ensure that our findings can benefit individuals, couples, and communities.

Why it matters

Sexuality affects nearly every part of life—from intimate relationships and emotional well-being to family dynamics and recovery after illness. Yet research on sexual well-being—rather than dysfunction—is still underfunded and often overlooked.

When we neglect this area, we miss opportunities to support marital satisfaction, connection, healing after trauma or medical treatment, and healthy sexual development across the lifespan.

Your support helps us close that gap—by making sure we can continue asking bold, humanizing questions and offering science-based insights to individuals, couples, clinicians, and communities.

Where your donation goes

Your contributions directly support our work at the University of Pennsylvania. Funds are, for example, used to:

• Pay team members who help carry out research, including students and early-career scientists
• Cover participant compensation, so many people can share their valuable voices and experiences
• Develop tools, models, and resources that make our work accessible beyond academia

All donations are tax-deductible through the University of Pennsylvania and go directly to our lab’s account. Every gift—large or small—helps sustain this research and grow the impact of our work.

Thank you for believing in the importance of this work. We’re deeply grateful to have you with us!
