We are now embarking on an exploration of the science of female arousal. In the first episode of this series, Laura interviews her former student and current colleague, Harper Jones. Harper is pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology in the Women's Integrative Sexual Health (WISH) Lab. In this episode, she explains the methods that the WISH lab uses to measure arousal and what research questions can be addressed with these methods. She continues on to discuss her research on the reasons that people use alcohol or drugs in the context of sexual activity, especially for people with previous sexual trauma. Her results may surprise you!
