Public health and fat studies intersect around documenting varied body sizes, and both disciplines claim that body size is relevant to their research. However, current body size measures are problematic, and nonstigmatizing measures of body size are needed. In particular, means of documenting lived body size that are decoupled from health are desirable for both disciplines. This commentary aims to begin conversations about social justice–oriented means of documenting body diversity, to critically discuss how these measures are used, and potential next steps for body size measurement.

Although American women are living longer after a breast cancer diagnosis, they may experience significant alterations in sexual function. However, little is known about the types of strategies that women are interested in using to address these sexual issues. This study used a reliable and valid instrument, the Sexual Function Questionnaire, to assess survivors' sexual function. Data were collected from 115 women who were younger than 50 years at diagnosis. Compared to normative controls, survivors scored significantly lower, indicating lower functioning, on most subscales of the Sexual Function Questionnaire and the overall measure, with the exception of the masturbation subscale on which they scored significantly higher. Most participants indicated moderate or strong interest in sexual enhancement products and comfort purchasing sexual enhancement products through various venues. Nurses and other health professionals might consider collaborations with entities of the adult retail industry to provide survivors with information about sexual enhancement products and their therapeutic potential.
