Rainey Horwitz, MS
Rainey Horwitz, MS
Sexual science researcher and educator, Missouri, US
“Medical students get less than eight hours of sex education on average — this needs to change! My work centers around normalizing sex and pleasure-informed conversations in medicine. When doctors are better prepared to talk about sex with patients, we can help remove the stigma and shame from society.”
Areas of expertise
  • Sex education
quote
“My goal is to educate medical trainees and professionals about sexual dysfunction, desire, and female sexual anatomy so they are better equipped to promote positive, healthier sex practices among patients.”
