A Note on Authorship and Scholarly Integrity
The work published here under the name Dr. Sitara reflects years of research, personal insight, and clinical experience in the field of human intimacy and relationship dynamics. Due to the sensitive and often misunderstood nature of these topics, Dr. Sitara maintains a degree of professional separation between her clinical research practice and her public writing. This approach allows her to engage more candidly with themes that are frequently met with social stigma, while protecting the privacy and safety of her clients, colleagues, and herself.
For readers seeking to understand the scientific basis behind the material presented, nearly every topic discussed throughout this blog is rooted in widely accepted theories and frameworks within evolutionary biology, clinical sexology, and psychology. A simple search on platforms like Google Scholar will yield dozens of peer-reviewed studies exploring similar dynamics, particularly within the domains of sexual selection, partner preference, power exchange, and emotional intimacy.
While identities may remain partially veiled, the ideas here are not. They are anchored in replicable research, experiential insight, and an unwavering commitment to evidence-based practice.
