Learn who started researching the orgasm gap in the first place. How many different types of orgasms are possible and do they all come from the clitoris or from many different places – and why do we even care?

Background story - how she got into sexuality education and therapy? Everyone cares about a woman’s libido – but I want to ask – are women just having boring sex? Tell us the stats about orgasmic inequality and how this ties in to affecting a woman’s libido The orgasm gap is even worse for the hook up culture – can you tell us the data and why it is concerning.

She says that “empowerment in the bedroom leads to confidence in the boardroom” – please tell us more. In her “tired guide” book you say there is no pill for desire – that book was 2009 – now there is a pill and an injection – what are her thoughts about these? If someone asked me to re-do sex ed for our youth – I would include pleasure, vulvar anatomy, the lie that PIV causes orgasms for women – what would you add? I want to ask her about three women and hear her advice A 20 yo single, just starting out A 38 yo, married, kids, full time job – lost her libido, doesn’t enjoy sex A 58 yo, post menopause, kids out of the house, husband feels like a roomate What her opinion of us educators not being able to use or being afraid of saying certain words on Becoming Cliterate https://amzn.to/373dMe6 The Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex:  https://amzn.to/373dMe6 https://www.instagram.com/drlauriemintz https://www.drlauriemintz.com/ Magnificent Sex by Peggy Kleinplatz https://amzn.to/3C9UelT --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.
