30 - Seggs Talk Edu x Kinsey Institute: Dr. Cynthia Graham on Contraceptives, Condom Use & Sexual Health Innovations

In this episode of Seggs Talk Radio, Dr. Cynthia Graham, a senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute and a professor in gender studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, discusses her extensive research on sexual health, including the impacts of hormonal contraceptives on women's sexuality and various aspects of condom use. Dr. Graham shares insights from her studies on the menstrual cycle, oral contraceptives, and sex therapy, as well as her recent work on improving the condom usage experience, particularly through the Kinsey Institute Condom Use Research Team (CURT).  She also covers her collaborative research on a sexual health chatbot aimed at improving clinic services for racially minoritized populations in London. The episode delves into the often under-researched area of older adults' sexuality, revealing findings from surveys and studies conducted on women over 60. Dr. Graham emphasizes the importance of comprehensive sex education and expresses her desire to return to studying contraceptives, despite challenges in securing funding. The conversation highlights the critical need for better communication, empathy, and innovation in sexual health research and education.
