Must answer YES to the following:
- Do you currently have pain with intercourse or vaginal penetration?
- Were you assigned female sex at birth, and do you have your own vaginal tissue?
- Do you have the ability to access the informed consent form and other outcome measures electronically? Meaning do you have computer and email access to view and complete components of the study?
