A new sexual health survey reveals a mix of progress and persistent gaps. Overall, many Americans report positive experiences—interest in having sex, sexual pleasure, and good communication with partners—yet women and gender-diverse individuals still face higher rates of sexual violence, lower sexual pleasure, and discomfort discussing sexual health. The study was led by Jessie Ford, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and the findings are published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy.
