Laurie Mintz Biography

Dr. Laurie Mintz is an American psychologist, certified sex therapist, and professor emerita in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida. Mintz has spent more than three decades bridging academic research in psychology and sex therapy with accessible public education. She has also worked in private practice for over 30 years, providing therapy to individuals and couples for both general mental health and sexual concerns. Her practice is grounded in a sex-positive, feminist framework that has resonated with audiences and clients internationally.

Mintz is the author of two books focused on women's sexual health and empowerment. Her first trade title, "A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex," explores psychological approaches to addressing low sexual desire among women. Her second book, "Becoming Cliterate," examines the cultural, psychological, and physiological factors influencing women's sexual pleasure. Both books are supported by published scientific studies demonstrating their effectiveness in increasing sexual desire, satisfaction, arousal, communication skills, body image, and a sense of entitlement to pleasure among women readers. "Becoming Cliterate" received the SASH Media Award from the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health and the Consumer Book Award from the Society for Sex Therapy and Research.

As an educator, Mintz has taught the Psychology of Human Sexuality to hundreds of undergraduate students and mentored graduate students at the University of Florida. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed research articles in psychology and sex therapy and is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association. Her academic contributions have been recognized with honors including the William T. Kemper Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching and multiple American Psychological Association citations for supervision and publication.

Mintz is active as a public speaker and media contributor, delivering presentations and workshops to both professional and general audiences. Her TEDx talk, which addresses the cultural reasons for the orgasm gap and strategies to close it, has garnered over two million views. She has been quoted in Parenting, Cosmopolitan, Prevention, Woman's Day, Women's Health, Men's Health, CNN.com, Oprah.com, and HuffingtonPost.com. Her outreach extends to podcasts, radio, and webinars, all focused on providing scientifically accurate, sex-positive information.

Mintz was named to Forbes' 50 Over 50 – Innovation list. She is a member of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, the International Study for the Society of Women's Sexual Health, and the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. Through her work in clinical psychology, sex therapy, education, and public engagement, Mintz is recognized as a leading voice in the field of human sexuality, with a commitment to gender equity and sexual well-being.
