“…Research on orgasm has challenged what it is and how it is conceptualized. For example, Herbenick and colleagues (2018) found that, despite nearly universal conceptualizations of orgasms as sexual, the physiological experience of orgasm is not actually always a sexual phenomenon, and not always in response to stimulation that could be in any way interpreted as sexual, as with abdominal exercises. Additionally, despite conceptualizations of orgasms as universally positive sexual experiences, research has shown that orgasms can be unpleasant and unenjoyable, cooccur with negative affect, and tied to negative outcomes challenging the universality of “orgasms = good” (Chadwick et al, 2019, 2022).…”

Feminist/queer science offers exciting possibilities for psychology and other fields. In this article, we review a set of dynamic principles for feminist/queer science, based in research with gender, sex, and sexuality (gender/sex/uality). There are potentially surprising ways that queer and science overlap for a queer science, and we focus on four: construction, openness, challenge, and multiplicities. There are also meeting points between feminism and science that support a feminist science, and we again focus on four: bias, truth, objectivity, and empiricism. Yet there are a number of challenges to feminist/queer science, including those that are epistemological, empirical, and methodological. We detail these, articulating how feminist/queer science also provides ways to address, sidestep, and move beyond them. Throughout, we articulate how feminist/queer science provides a dynamic and rigorous way forward for psychological science as well as other fields, and we conclude by articulating how it can lead to more empirical, accurate, and just knowledge.
