Name: Tina Arnoldi Theravive

Category: General

Email: query-b0go@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Theravive

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 28 July

Query:

Gallup, the group behind CliftonStrengths, discussed the
importance of knowing employee strengths to increase engagement
in their "State of the American Workplace" report. While there
are clear biases, it is worth exploring.

https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/308939/defeat-employee-loneliness-worry-cliftonstrengths.aspx

They said, "Committing to building strengths-based connections
will result in a healthier, more engaged, better-coached culture
when the pandemic is over. Organizations and leaders may need to
step up development initiatives -- especially for managers -- to
get there, but the results are worth it. Strength-based
workplaces are proven to be significantly more collaborative and
inclusive."

For managers or HR professionals, do you think there is anything
to this? Has addressing strengths benefiting your workplace
engagement or do you think the benefits of understanding
strengths is minimal? Interested in all perspectives. I have no
affiliation with Gallup.

Requirements:

Interested in hearing from researchers, business leaders, and
other smart people for perspectives on this issue. Additional
comments/insight beyond the query are welcome.

Email replies only.

No phone interviews.

Please do not ask me to contact you separately for a quote. I

37) Summary: Liking Sex

Name: Simone Scully Healthline

Category: General

Email: query-b2ac@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline

Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 28 July

Query:

I'm looking to interview a psychologist, therapist, sex
therapist or mental health expert who is comfortable discussing
sexuality and asexuality.

These are the questions I'm like to have answered:

1. First briefly describe your qualifications and your
background.

2. This article got started because someone asked us if "women"
even like sex. Why is there an idea among penis-having folks
that vulva-having individuals don't like sex? Is it sexism? Is
it toxic masculinity? Why would someone have this idea? In other
words, why is there an idea that vulva-owners and penis-owners
are "wired" differently?

3. There are lots of ways of having sex - and not all involve
penetration. Why might someone not be into penetrative sex?

4. Sexuality is a spectrum - some people consider themselves
very sexual, some consider themselves asexual or on the ACE
scale. What research is there on sexuality and why it's a
spectrum? Why do some individuals want sex more than others?

5. What advice do you have for couples who are having trouble
with sex/wanting different things in a sexual relationship?

6. What advice do you have for someone discussing sex and what
they want with a potential partner?

7. There's this idea that if someone is asexual, they must have
some trauma that prevents them from enjoying sex. Is there any
truth to this? Is it possible to not enjoy sex without harm?

8. If trauma is a reason why someone doesn't enjoy sex, what
kind of therapies are available if they want to change that in
themselves? In other words, if someone used to enjoy sex and
doesn't anymore because of trauma - and not because they
perceive themselves as asexual -, what can they do?

Requirements:

Psychologist, sex therapist or expert comfortable discussing
sexuality.
