Use the public knowledge
Read, print, privately use questions, share canonical pages, compare the framework with experience, or decide that a concept does not fit. No contact is required.
Correspondence and collaboration
Help the field ask better questions.
Neurosexology welcomes questions, critique, correction, disciplinary expertise, public-use feedback, and careful expressions of interest in future collaboration.
At present, participation means public use and correspondence—not research enrollment, membership, advisory status, clinical care, or a formal institutional partnership.
Correspondence open · No active study · No membership or advisory board · No sensitive-data intake

An opendoorway
Questions, critique, and exploratory conversations are open now. Formal lived-experience research and institutional partnerships require separate governed pathways.
Role clarity
“Participate” is not one role.
Reading, correspondence, feedback, research, advice, publication, membership, and partnership carry different permissions, risks, and responsibilities. The role should be named before anyone is asked to enter it.
| Pathway | Current status | What it means now |
|---|---|---|
| Read, use, and share public materials | Open now | No account, contact, disclosure, or submission required. |
| Ask a question | Open now | Correspondence for clarification, not research participation. |
| Offer critique or correction | Open now | Methodological, evidentiary, linguistic, ethical, accessibility, or factual feedback. |
| Discuss research or methods | Exploratory | Conversation only; no role, authorship, commitment, or partnership is created by contact. |
| Discuss education or care language | Exploratory | General application questions only; no patient, student, client, or case intake. |
| Explore institutional collaboration | Exploratory | Affiliation or partnership exists only after written agreement. |
| Contribute lived experience to research | Future governed pathway | Not open; requires a study, consent, governance, and secure collection. |
| Enroll in a research study | Not currently offered | No active study or participant recruitment occurs through this site. |
| Join a board or membership body | Not currently offered | No board, membership, credential, or certification exists. |
| Seek clinical, crisis, or legal help | Not currently offered | Use appropriate qualified or emergency services. |
Correspondence ≠ research participation
Contact ≠ membership
Interest ≠ partnership
Feedback ≠ endorsement
Conversation ≠ affiliation
A story by email ≠ permission for research or publication
What is open now
You can take part without joining anything.
Participation can begin with attention, use, or disagreement. Disclosure is never the admission price.
Ask for clarification
Ask about a definition, distinction, public explainer, or how Neurosexology and Neurosexuality relate. An intimate history is not required.
Offer critique or correction
Identify an overclaim, missing source, harmful phrase, access barrier, methodological weakness, or no-fit case without endorsing the project.
Begin an exploratory conversation
Write about a specific research, method, teaching, care-language, public-knowledge, or institutional question. The first exchange creates no formal role.
Ways to contribute
Specific pathways with specific boundaries.
Public readers and question-bringers
Questions, clearer explanations, public-topic suggestions, no-fit observations, and reports that a page is confusing, inaccessible, or misrepresentative are welcome.
You do not need to disclose personal sexual or medical information to ask a question.
Researchers and methodologists
Construct critique, prior art, operational definitions, study design, qualitative or quantitative methods, physiological and subjective integration, and adversarial tests are welcome.
Identify the exact construct or claim, a useful source or example, and the exchange being proposed where possible.
Clinicians and educators
General language, curriculum, care-explanation, scope, and safeguard questions are welcome.
Do not send identifiable patient, student, client, or family information. The site is not case consultation, treatment, or an accredited program.
Lived-experience contributors
Interest in future governed research, co-design, language review, advisory work, or public-resource testing may be expressed without describing an experience.
No formal lived-experience contribution or research-submission pathway is active.
Institutions, laboratories, and research centers
Framework review, methods and ethics consultation, infrastructure, replication, public knowledge, and interdisciplinary research conversations are welcome.
Contact with one person does not create institutional endorsement, affiliation, or permission to display a name or logo.
Critics, reviewers, and correction contributors
Direct disagreement, ethical objections, redundancy arguments, accessibility failures, prior-art corrections, and cases the framework cannot represent are welcome.
Critique is participation. Correction is one way the field becomes more trustworthy.
Non-extractive participation
You can use a question without surrendering an answer.
A person may use the site without an account; download public materials without identifying themselves; reflect privately; ask a conceptual question without explaining why; suggest a topic without saying it applies personally; decline to identify an orientation, gender, diagnosis, partner, event, or history; and end correspondence without explanation.
No one should have to prove that an experience happened to them before the corresponding question, distinction, or public knowledge becomes worthy of attention.
The current site includes no required demographic fields, experience-submission form, testimonial wall, contributor leaderboard, membership tier, disclosure game, or email gate before public materials.
Critique, correction, and no-fit cases
The field needs people who can show where the map fails.
Factual
A date, citation, definition, source attribution, statistic, or statement is wrong.
Interpretive
A source is quoted accurately but interpreted too strongly, narrowly, or out of context.
Framework
A distinction is redundant, unmeasurable, incomplete, or missing an important level.
Ethical
Language, method, or use creates avoidable shame, pressure, exclusion, coercion, or harm.
Accessibility
A page, interaction, artifact, or visual system prevents meaningful access.
No-fit
An event or pattern cannot be represented without distortion.
A no-fit case is evidence about the framework. It is not evidence that the person failed to fit correctly.
Use the public correction pathwayLived experience and role separation
A person's story does not become research because it arrives in an inbox.
If personal experience is voluntarily included in ordinary correspondence, it remains correspondence. It is not coded, counted, quoted, paraphrased, published, presented as a case, or treated as confirmation of the framework without a separate defined role and specific permission.
- Correspondent
- Asks, criticizes, or discusses.
- Research participant
- Enrolls under a defined protocol and consent process.
- Co-designer or advisor
- Shapes language, methods, or materials under a defined role.
- Publication contributor
- Gives specific permission for words or work to appear publicly.
- Public reviewer
- Evaluates clarity, accessibility, or usefulness.
Consent for one role does not transfer automatically to another.
Future governed pathway
Research enrollment does not happen through this page.
A future participant study requires its own title and identifier, question, responsible investigator and institution, status, ethical review, eligibility, activities, duration, risks, benefits, compensation, privacy, recording and quotation rules, withdrawal process, participant and ethics contacts, public-return plan, consent documents, updates, closure, and results.
No “join the study,” experience submission, research alert list, waitlist, or pre-screening form will be added before purpose, minimum data, consent, privacy, retention, contact permission, and responsible governance exist. An interest list is still data collection.
A message to hello@neurosexology.org cannot be silently converted into research data.
Research and institutional conversations
Begin with a specific question, not a ceremonial endorsement.
The invitation is to examine, test, criticize, and improve the work—not to endorse it before doing so.
Research and methods
Construct validity, framework comparison, literature lineage, qualitative coding, corpus and instrument design, within-person and dyadic methods, physiology and report, disability, trauma-informed methods, data governance, and adversarial testing.
Education and care language
Terminology, public explanation, consent-critical distinctions, resource usability, shame, scope, and evidence boundaries—not case consultation or treatment.
Institutions
Research home, methods or ethics review, infrastructure, shared studies, public programming, workshops, independent evaluation, replication, correction, and governance.
Formal roles
A partnership begins with defined responsibilities—not with a logo or a promising meeting.
Formal collaboration requires written scope, roles, authority, leadership, authorship and credit, intellectual property, funding, data stewardship, participant protection, ethics review, analysis and publication rights, conflicts, use of names and logos, public communication, correction, dispute, term, exit, and record disposition.
Conversation ≠ collaboration
Collaboration ≠ partnership
Individual interest ≠ institutional endorsement
Advice ≠ advisory-board membership
Review ≠ authorship
Citation ≠ affiliation
No institution's name, seal, center, laboratory, department, or partner badge is displayed as affiliation or endorsement without written permission and a real relationship.
Ordinary email boundary
Ordinary email is a correspondence channel—not a secure research or clinical intake.
Please do not send medical records, explicit images, legal documents, passwords, financial information, identifying information about another person, detailed patient or student cases, or intimate histories unnecessary to your question.
The project does not promise end-to-end encryption, clinical or research confidentiality, anonymous messaging, guaranteed deletion, a fixed retention period, immediate response, crisis monitoring, legal privilege, or freedom from provider processing.
Neurosexology.org is not monitored as an emergency, crisis, clinical, safeguarding, or legal service. Urgent needs should be directed to appropriate local services or qualified professionals.
Read what the site actually collects and doesA correspondence doorway
Begin with a note.
Choose the broad purpose. Each action opens an ordinary email with a non-sensitive prompt; no web form or tracking event is created.
