Check out FRUITGAL THRIFT on Poshmark.

Hello!

My name is Carolyn Meiller, and I am working on my dissertation project towards my doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I am looking to interview curvy queer women about sexual pleasure. Research on curvy queer women is limited, and when focused on sexuality, mostly focuses on the negative aspects of sex. I am hoping to raise the varied experiences curvy queer women have with sex and gain an understanding for how curvy queer women experience and understand sexual pleasure. I hope this data will be used to create a theory for how identity, societal messages, and other external forces influence the experiences of pleasure for curvy queer women. Furthermore, this research will be used to further promote sexual health, justice, and fair treatment for curvy queer women in medical and mental health settings.

To be eligible for this study you must:

Be between the ages of 18-29

Identify as a woman

Identify as curvy, fat, plus size, or of a larger body size

Identify within the LGBQ+ spectrum

Be willing to talk about your experiences over a video call related to your identity, sex, and sexual pleasure in a 1-2 hour interview that will be audio-recorded.

If you are interested in participating please fill out the eligibility screener at https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4MVGs8C5gZ3J6oR

If you have questions or would like further information, please contact me at [email protected] and I’d be happy to talk about the study further! If you are not eligible or interested, but know others who might be, I’d appreciate you sharing this email with them. Participants who participate in the interviews will receive $20 to compensate them for their time. Thank you again for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you!

Carolyn Meiller, M.S.
