Between 40 and 60% of women taking SRIs, a common type of anti-depressants, experience sexual side effects, including loss of arousal, lubrication and orgasm problems. Researchers, including Dr. Julia Heiman of The Kinsey Institute, found that women given Viagra were more likely to report improvement in sexual functioning than those on a placebo pill.

QUESTION: Does having sex while you’re on your period make you bleed more?
It's a tale as old as time: a man wants a shallow, beautiful, "easy" woman instead of a nice, respectful woman with brains. Right? That's what I thought. But according to a new study conducted right here at The Kinsey Institute, this tale is just a stereotype.

QUESTION: My wife is 51. Her periods are almost gone. How do you know when it’s safe to have unprotected sex again?

QUESTION: I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a few years, and he is hinting toward a marriage proposal. I love him and he is my best friend, but I have always been attracted to women. I have had great relationships with men, but my fantasies focus on other women. Now that the prospect of marriage has come up, I’m afraid that I will make the wrong choice. I could marry him and always wonder what it would be like to be with a woman. Or I could end the relationship, and see if I could have the sexually passionate relationship I would like with a woman. However, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t find the friendship, support and trust that I have with him. I guess part of my question is: what does it mean to be gay? I am attracted to women sexually- not men - but I can make deep, meaningful connections with men, while I have trouble establishing friendships with women. Sex with my boyfriend is not bad, but he really has to work to get me to orgasm. How do I figure this out?

QUESTION: I’m a 22-year-old female, and I’ve never had an orgasm during “standard” sex - only oral. I thought that maybe it was my first partner, but I wasn’t able to achieve it with my second partner either. Is this normal for women?

QUESTION: Here is my problem: I`ve been with my partner for over a year now. We are very happy together. I believe everything is going just fine except in one main area - THE BEDROOM. He satisfies me in every way possible but I don’t think I’m doing the same for him. He`s 5′7 and weighs 145 pounds whereas I am 5′6 and weigh over 250. He likes the way I am but I don’t think I can fulfill his needs in the bedroom like a smaller person can. What can or should I do besides lose the weight which I’m already doing. Please help me.
