ESTABLISHED: 2006

MISSION: The Patty Brisben Foundation for Women’s Sexual Health (PBF) promotes sex positivity and sexual health as an integral part of every person’s general health, well-being, and quality of life. Sexual health requires a positive outlook and a thoughtful understanding of sexuality and sensuality, especially in the ways they impact intimate relationships, personal identity development, and physical satisfaction and pleasure. We believe that sexual health is general health and deserves equal funding for research, patient education and support, as well as community outreach. The PBF is an international advocate of sexual rights for everyone, without exclusion. Women around the world and their partners, irrespective of race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity, are entitled to positive sexual healthcare and expression. Our mission is to empower people to understand their bodies, improve communication with their partners and healthcare professionals, thus optimizing their overall physical, sexual, and emotional health.

SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: Our annual grant cycle funds clinical research, education, and outreach in our six focus areas: Vulvovaginal Pain Disorders, The Impact of Perimenopause and Menopause on Sexual Health, Intimacy-Related Sexual Dysfunction After Cancer Treatments, Libido and Desire, Physical and Sexual Abuse, and Female Genital Mutilation.
