Our research team at Indiana University is recruiting adult women
(18
and older) to participate in what is, to our knowledge, the first ever
systematic study of lubricant use among women.
Many women use lubricants during sexual activity alone or with a
partner and for many different reasons including to make sex more comfortable, to reduce pain, to reduce the risk of tearing during sex,
to feel more pleasure, because they are curious, or because their
partner wants to use a lubricant. Other women have never used a lubricant during sexual activity that occurs alone or with a partner.
The study that we are recruiting for, the Women’s Sexual Health Study,
takes place entirely online. Women who participate in the study will
receive three bottles of water-based lubricant or silicone-based lubricant
and will be asked to use it during sexual activity that occurs
alone or with a partner, and to respond to online questionnaires about
their experiences.
Please feel free to forward this email to colleagues, friends or members
of your organization who may be interested in learning more about this
study. Women who would like to read additional information about the
study and decide whether they would like to participate can go to this
