The ROSES Study on Sexual Pain

We are looking for people from the following two groups to take part in a study on sexual pain:

1) Women (18+) who have one or more diagnosed sexual pain conditions such as vaginismus, dyspareunia, and/or vulvodynia/vestibulodynia and associated symptoms.

2) Healthy women (18+) who do not have and have never had any of these diagnoses or associated symptoms.

Participants will be asked to fill in an online survey which will ask about how they relate to themselves, particularly their bodies and physical appearance, and about their sexual functioning. This may help us develop better treatment options for individuals with sexual pain. This study is funded by the Health Education England Oxford Clinical Psychology training course. You may ask any questions before deciding to take part by contacting the lead researcher Natascha Niekamp at natascha.niekamp@hmc.ox.ac.uk.
