The Observations and Research in Gender and Sexuality Matters Human Sexuality Lab (O.R.G.A.S.M Lab or O-LAB) in the Department of Psychology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Surrey, BC, Canada) was initially developed by Dr. Cory Pedersen in 2007 and became its established and productive form in late 2011. We have since become devoted to exploring the psychology of issues in human sexuality such as sexual orientation, commercial sex, and atypical sexuality in an effort to disseminate knowledge about these important topics in our society.
