@ISSWSH @tamara_bodnar @DrLoriBrotto @tk_lorenz Great question! We did find stronger links between #inflammation and women’s arousability - although those links were not totally conclusive either. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Despite correlation between male #ED and #inflammation, no relationship found between inflammation and female #HSDD in this study...but what about female arousal, the better correlary of #ED? @tamara_bodnar @DrLoriBrotto @tk_lorenz @lab_wish ow.ly/E9ZB50JrYWg

Tierney Lorenz, assistant professor of @UNLPsych, conducted a survey providing limited and expanded sexual orientation options. Her findings suggest “other” categories could misclassify a substantial proportion of sexual minorities. ow.ly/9Y9150JoOIN #LGBTQIA #UNLresearch

-Higher chronic inflammation predicted lower physiological sexual arousal in women who have sex more than once a week; while higher chronic inflammation predicted higher physiological sexual arousal in women who have sex less than once a week. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper just dropped 💯 Inflammation predicts sexual arousability in healthy young women!! Here what’s we found: -Higher chronic inflammation may be associated with physiological sexual arousal (vaginal blood flow), but not mental sexual arousal
