Most of us learned about sex in fragments through rumours, awkward conversations and a lot of guesswork. Twenty years after his bestselling book She Comes First changed the conversation around female pleasure, sex therapist Ian Kerner joins Jennifer for an honest, funny, and eye-opening chat about cunnilingus, the orgasm gap, performance anxiety, and why great sex has far more to do with communication than technique. From clitoral anatomy to confidence in the bedroom, this episode unpacks what actually works and why many of us are still getting it wrong.

This week Jennifer is joined by Shawna Scott, sex educator and owner of Ireland's multi-award-winning, sex-positive online boutique SexSiopa.ie.
