TITLE: Making Sexual Pain Visible

Description: For those who are not familiar with your line of work, can you describe for us what a sexologist does? What made you want to work within sexual health and education? How is sexual pain defined? When can we say “this vulvar/vaginal/perineal sensation is  “a pain”  “a side effect of intense and joyful penetrative sex”or “a discomfort” … and how should we handle each of them (a, b,c)? When should somebody visit a medical professional? Which type of health professional should they seek out? Should I be concerned about these sensations , discomfort or pains if I am not interested in sexual penetration at all? How can I take better care of my vagina/inner genitals even if I do not practice penetrative sex? There will be Questions and answers from the audience (in English)!
