Pint-Sized Science: Season 2, Episode 4 A Gynecologist and a Clinical Psychologist Walk Into an Interview: A Conversation about Painful Sex, Vulvodynia, and Inclusive Sexual Health Interviewees: Dr. Caroline Pukall, Professor of Psychology at Queen's University at Kingston, and Dr. Andrew Goldstein, Director of the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders Interviewer: Theodora Mautz, AB '19, Clinical Research Coordinator at the Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders **This episode features mature content and viewer discretion is advised.** Why does sex hurt? In this episode, we interview two experts on chronic vulvar pain and explore the "biopsychosocial" aspects of conditions that fall under the umbrella category of vulvodynia (pain in the vulva). Join us as we talk about pain in the vulva, how these experts make research on sexual health inclusive both in terms of identity and preference, and in terms of global reach. Note: occasionally, she/her pronouns and "woman/women" are used in this episode to describe people who have vulvodynia. However, we would like to emphasize that anyone with a vulva can suffer from vulvodynia, and both Dr. Pukall and Dr. Goldstein treat and seek to help people of all gender identities.
