Dr. Mitch Tepper
Mitchell Tepper, Ph.D., M.P.H., is founder and president of The Sexual Health Network, an organization of health professionals and educators aiming to get accurate sexuality information and education into the hands of the public and healthcare providers via their Web site Sexualhealth.com. Dr. Tepper's dissertation research focused on the process of sexual self-discovery after spinal cord injury as it relates to the ability or inability to experience pleasure and orgasm. The implications of his research point to the importance of intimacy and connection over physical impairment, which challenges existing medical definitions of orgasm. He has been featured on CNN, Discovery and in popular press, including The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan and GQ. In addition to academic credentials, Dr. Tepper, who grew up with Crohn's Disease and acquired a spinal cord injury at age 20, brings a lifetime of first-hand experience with a chronic condition and disability to his chosen profession. When he's not preaching about sex, you can find him working on his spiritual development.
