There is a long history of women not only not knowing nothing about sexual pleasure but being made to feel as if there is something dangerous and wrong with them if they seek it. My guest for this episode is Dr. Laurie Mintz a professor, a therapist, and the author of “Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters- and how to get it”, the groundbreaking book that changed not only how millions of women, and men, think about female sexual pleasure, but how women can OWN sexual pleasure.

  • What is meant by “ORGASM EQUALITY
  • The POLITICS of orgasm
  • Why it is important to have a SEX SCRIPT
  • Why PORN is problematic
  • MASTURBATION education
  • Why a vibrator is a TOOL, not a TOY
  • What a VIBRATOR and a RAFT have in common
  • MEN and Vibrators
  • The problem with SEX EDUCATION in America
