CHPIR’s very own GV Hunter is leading a webinar for the American Journal of Sexuality Education (AJSE) Lecture Series, this Wednesday (July 22, 2020) from 7-8pm EST!
Here is a description of the webinar: It is important to understand how people experience pleasure and sexual satisfaction with a partner, as these phenomena can impact how they view their relationships, themselves, as well as the role of sexual activities within relationships. This session will discuss a study that was conducted that assessed the social correlates of sexual pleasure and sexual satisfaction, and the implications of the findings of that study.
