What this trial studies
This is a multi-country, cross-sectional observational study using a single online questionnaire to describe the epidemiology of sexual health and behavior in Spanish-speaking adults. It will also estimate the occurrence and phenomenology of expanded states of consciousness related to orgasm. Data collection relies on a custom web application and a secure EU-hosted backend with weighting and adherence to STROBE and CHERRIES reporting standards. Recruitment is via social media and supplementary channels, with quality checks including completion rate and pattern-based exclusions. Analyses will compare sexes and report results in two manuscripts focusing on epidemiology and orgasm-related consciousness.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could illuminate regional patterns of sexual health and the prevalence of altered states of consciousness during orgasm, informing public health understanding and future research.
How similar studies have gone: There is limited precedent for cross-national epidemiological studies of sexual health in Spanish-speaking populations; this study uses established survey methodology with a novel focus on altered states of consciousness during orgasm.
