Esther Perel Instagram – Understanding human health is a multi-faceted study, as we identify how intertwined our mental, emotional, physical, and yes, sexual health truly are. These aspects of the human experience significantly affect and impact one another, and optimizing for wellness means we must consider each category. This understanding is vitally supported by research and dedicated study by institutes such as Kinsey, and why the lack of funding for such organizations poses a risk to human health and wellbeing. From the @kinseyinstitute : “Last month, Indiana lawmakers voted to approve a budget with amendments that specifically blocks Indiana University from using state appropriations to support the Kinsey Institute. This unprecedented action takes aim at the very foundation of academic freedom and stifles critical research on sexuality, gender, relationships, and reproduction. Since 1947, the Kinsey Institute has been an international thought leader in providing an unbiased and apolitical scientific approach to human sexuality. In this time of divisive politics and the rise of disinformation, Kinsey Institute research, education, and historical preservation are more important than ever.” Visit their website through the link in my bio to learn how you can both raise awareness and support. #DefendResearch #ScienceMatters
