Sex lab researchers study levels of participants’ sexual arousal
Being a sex researcher is like sitting at the base of a lightening rod — at least that’s what professor Meredith Chivers says.
“You know it’s going to push buttons for people … as a sexuality researcher you have to have a strong grounding, and feel confident about what it is you’re doing at the same time.”
Chivers is the director of the Sexuality and Gender Laboratory (SAGE) which opened in January 2010. The lab conducts research on sexual psychophysiology, gender, sexual attraction and sexual functioning.
Prior to coming to Queen’s, Chivers’ research had no shortage of controversy.

Following his wildly popular infographic and data analysis of call girl clients Dirty Words: A Probing Analysis of 5000 Call Girl Reviews, Jon Millward is back with a further textual dataset exploration on female escorts in the UK.
Life of a Call Girl: Fantasy vs. Reality is another fascinating word-based infographic and analysis that examines the textual data world of UK’s female sex workers.
He asked them everything from how they got started to what they do and how much they charge, and much more.
Interestingly, a number of respondents claimed they got into doing sex work from being inspired after watching the UK TV show “Secret Diary of A Call Girl.”
