Clinical Sexology is the scientific study of human sexuality, including human sexual interests, behaviors and functions.
Sexologists apply tools from several academic fields including, but not limited to: biology, medicine, psychology, epidemiology and sociology. Topics of study include sexual development, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual relationships, sexual activities and atypical sexual interests. The field of study explores across the entire human lifespan and includes quality of life.
Dr. Laura graduated from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (IASHS) with a Doctorate in Human Sexuality and a Doctorate of Philosophy specializing in Erotology (the study of how art, literature and cultural behaviors influence human sexuality). The Institute was established in 1976 and provided comprehensive and pioneering curriculum (IASHS Catalog) that paved the way for learning institutions today. The Institute closed in 2018.
