About the Sexpert

NYU’s Sexpert, Alyssa LaFosse, received her Masters in Public Health from the University of California at Berkeley, and has extensive experience working with college-age youth on sexual health issues. She strives to give students comprehensive and accurate information in a nonjudgmental manner so that they can make informed choices about their sexual health.

Our Philosophy

Every single person is entitled to feel pleasure and enjoy one's own body, regardless of gender or whether one is in a relationship or not. We employ a "body positive" model, which means that people are encouraged to be familiar and comfortable with their bodies. This is important not just for self-pleasure but also for health reasons, so that people have a strong awareness of their bodies, are better able to notice anything unusual, and can take measures to stay healthy. The "body positive" philosophy applies to all people - whether or not one is sexually active.
