The Pleasure Issue: Orgasms, Divorce Dating & Sarah Pidgeon

What actually gives women pleasure, and why are we still so bad at talking about it?

In this special Pleasure Issue episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron go inside the pages of the new issue, from the small joys that make life better to the bigger, messier conversations:

They unpack the orgasm gap, why women are still statistically being left behind when it comes to sexual satisfaction, dating after divorce, sex toys, long-term relationships, kissing, quitting friendships, hobbies that don’t make money, and the joy of yapping.

They also discuss Marie Claire’s May cover star Sarah Pidgeon, her role as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, the ongoing obsession with Carolyn and JFK Jr, and why Carolyn’s style, mystique and story still have such a hold on women.
