Jaime M. Grant, PhD, author of Kink For Dummies, Polyamory For Dummies and Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire, is an Irish-American sexpert, grassroots researcher, and activist who has been engaged in women’s, LGBTQ+, and racial justice movements since the late 80s. Having survived sexist violence and anti-lesbian disownment as a youth, she became a go-to resource on gender and sex among her peers as a matter of survival.
This led to doctoral study in gender and sexuality and the creation of the Desire Mapping process, which she has offered for 20+ years via individual coaching as well as in workshops at community centers and universities throughout the United States and human rights convenings around the globe – including Russia, China, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cyprus, Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand, and Mauritius.
In the ‘10s, she served as principal investigator for the National LGBTQ Task Force’s ground-breaking reports on aging, Outing Age (2010), and anti-transgender discrimination, Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (2011). In 2017, she co-edited a global anthology on friendship as fuel for movement-building, Friendship as Social Justice Activism. Most recently, Dr. Grant launched the report of the nation’s largest grassroots survey of LGBTQ+ women who partner with women, “We Never Give Up the Fight”: A Report of the National LGBTQ+ Women’s Community Survey (2024) as well as its 2025 health findings release, What’s Killing Us?
