How Cannabis Can Help Women Finally Reach Orgasms with Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill, PhD

21 minutes

Ever felt like your body just won’t respond, no matter how much you try? You’re not broken—but the way we’ve been taught to think about female pleasure is.

In this episode, we explore why orgasms can feel impossible for some women and how cannabis is now being recognized as a legitimate medical treatment for female orgasm difficulty (FOD). Some U.S. states, including Illinois and Connecticut, have even added FOD to their list of qualifying conditions for medical cannabis!

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, pressured, or ashamed about your orgasms (or lack thereof), this episode will change everything you thought you knew about your body and pleasure.

About the Guest:

Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill, PhD, is a Clinical Sexologist, Orgasmologist, and Executive Director of the Female Orgasm Research Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to researching female orgasm and advocating for medical recognition of female orgasmic disorder (FOD). She leads the Women’s Cannabis Project, which successfully lobbied for Connecticut and Illinois to become the first U.S. states to approve medical cannabis as a treatment for FOD.

Her groundbreaking research—published in Sexual Medicine and The Journal of Sexual Medicine—reveals that cannabis before sex significantly improves orgasm frequency, ease, and satisfaction for women with FOD. With over 50 years of cannabis and sex research backing her work, she has presented at major international conferences, including the World Conference for Sexual Medicine and the European Society for Sexual Medicine.

Dr. Mulvehill and her research have been featured in Forbes, Psychology Today, High Times, Marijuana Moment, and more. She is a regular guest on international podcasts, bringing awareness to orgasm health, sexual wellness, and policy change.

Beyond her work, she loves snorkeling, camping, traveling, yoga, and meditation—and she’s a proud mother and grandmother.
