Episode 10 | Part 2 of a Two-Part Series on Partnered OrgasmWhen a woman has difficulty orgasming with a partner, trying harder, repeatedly asking whether she is close, or taking her orgasm personally can create even more pressure.In this episode of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill examines what partners can do that actually helps, including increasing their knowledge of female orgasm, developing better sexual skills, learning the stimulation that already works, listening without defensiveness, maintaining consistent rhythm and pressure, welcoming self-touch and vibrators, allowing sufficient arousal time, and understanding the importance of clitoral stimulation.We will also look at the research on orgasm pressure, sexual communication, faking orgasm, partner misperceptions, and the kinds of responses that can either create safety or make orgasm more difficult.You can support your partner by helping create the conditions that make pleasure, arousal, and flow more accessible. This includes bringing curiosity instead of assumptions, moving ego and self-judgment out of the bedroom, and recognizing that you do not have to know everything in advance. Knowledge, sexual skill, communication, effective stimulation, emotional safety, sufficient time, and freedom from pressure can all help make partnered orgasm more accessible..Live Tuesday, August 25 at 12:00 noon ET.

Episode 9 | Part 1 of a Two-Part Series on Partnered OrgasmOne of the most common concerns women raise about their sex lives is being able to orgasm alone but not with a partner. The communication that develops around this difficulty can either help a couple learn together or create pressure, resentment, defensiveness, and distance.In this episode of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill examines research-supported approaches that may help women bring their orgasmic capacity into partnered sex, including directed masturbation, sensate focus, mindfulness, sexual communication, vibrator use, and showing a partner the stimulation that already works.Dr. Suzanne will also share her experience of living with orgasm difficulty for three decades and what eventually helped her become orgasmic, both alone and during partnered sex.Partnered orgasm can become more accessible when couples move away from goal-oriented sex and work toward cultivating flow states, where orgasm becomes a consequence of pleasure rather than the goal.Part 2 airs Tuesday, August 25, and focuses on what partners can do to support a woman who has difficulty orgasming during partnered sex.This is for educational purposes only.#FemaleOrgasm #PartneredOrgasm #HowToOrgasm #OrgasmDifficulty #CouplesSexualHealth #WomensSexualHealth #SexualCommunication #MindfulSex #SexEducation #BecomingOrgasmic #Orgasmology #TheOrgasmHour #DrSuzanneMulvehill

Episode 8 | Can sex actually land someone in the hospital with a fractured penis? In this episode of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill examines the research on penis injuries during intercourse, oral sex, manual stimulation, masturbation, and rough sexual play. We will explore how sudden bending, biting, constriction, friction, forceful gripping, and loss of alignment can injure an erect penis. These injuries can include penile fracture, ruptured blood vessels, bruising and hematoma, skin and frenulum tears, urethral injury, bite wounds, infection, pain, and changes in sensation. An erection becomes particularly vulnerable when force is applied sideways, sharply downward, through teeth, during prolonged constriction, or when the penis slips out and is struck or bent during intercourse. A penile fracture is not a broken bone. It is a tear in the fibrous tissue surrounding the erectile chambers, usually caused by the sudden bending of an erect penis. It is one of the most serious and best-documented penile injuries associated with sexual activity and often requires urgent surgical repair. We will look at how penile fractures happen, which sexual movements and positions appear most often in the research, and why a condom cannot protect the penis from a bending or crushing injury. We will also consider the experience of a man whose penis was painfully bitten during oral sex. Although he can still orgasm in other ways, he has not been able to orgasm through oral sex since. Can one painful or frightening sexual experience cause the nervous system to associate a previously pleasurable route to orgasm with danger? Penis owners and their partners will learn how to recognize the warning signs of a serious injury, including a popping or cracking sound, sudden pain, immediate loss of the erection, rapid swelling or bruising, an abnormal bend, blood at the urethral opening, difficulty urinating, an open bite wound, numbness, or discoloration. These symptoms require prompt medical attention, and embarrassment should never delay a visit to the emergency department. This episode is about more than avoiding injury. It is about understanding the penis, communicating clearly, respecting pain, maintaining alignment, and protecting the body while creating pleasure. Caring about orgasm means caring for the body experiencing it.

Episode 7 | Vibrators Can Improve Partnered Sex! Vibrators can add excitement, connection, and shared pleasure to partnered sex. In this episode of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill explores how couples can introduce a vibrator with confidence, curiosity, and open communication.We will also look at the research on sex toys, partnered vibrator use, clitoral stimulation, orgasm intensity, sexual satisfaction, and why a partner’s acceptance can shape the experience. A vibrator can become a shared pathway to pleasure, helping make orgasm more accessible.#TheOrgasmHour #Vibrators #SexToys #SharedPleasure #FemaleOrgasm #ClitoralStimulation #CouplesIntimacy #SexualHealth #SexResearch #SexEducation #DrSuzanneMulvehill

Orgasm pressure can come from inside us or between partners. Internally, it may sound like: “Why am I not orgasming?” “I’m taking too long.” or “Something must be wrong with me.” From a partner, it may look like repeated questions, trying harder and faster, showing disappointment, needing orgasm as proof of sexual success, or continuing after the other person wants to stop.In Episode 6 of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill explores how orgasm pressure can shift attention away from pleasure and turn orgasm into a performance requirement. We’ll discuss: • How self-pressure, failure thoughts, and monitoring can interfere with arousal and orgasm • How a partner’s expectations can create pressure—even when they intend to be helpful • The difference between caring about a partner’s pleasure and requiring an orgasm • Research-informed ways to reduce pressure and return attention to sensation, connection, and pleasure Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes of The Orgasm Hour. #FemaleOrgasm #OrgasmPressure #PartneredSex #SexualCommunication #SexualWellbeing #OrgasmicLearning #WomensSexualHealth #TheOrgasmHour

Episode 5 | Women have learned to orgasm through hypnosis.For more than 50 years, clinicians and researchers have documented hypnosis helping some women access orgasmic response.In Episode 5 of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill explores Hypnotic Induction as an Orgasmic Learning Pathway.Beginning in the 1970s, researchers investigated whether hypnotic induction could help women experiencing orgasm difficulty. Their reports included women who had previously been unable to orgasm and later developed new or improved orgasmic response following hypnosis-assisted treatment.What does hypnosis reveal about orgasm as a learned, state-dependent capacity?More recent research has renewed interest in these early findings and contributes to a growing understanding that orgasm involves not only genital stimulation, but also attention, imagination, learning, absorption, and the brain’s ability to enter orgasm-supportive states.In this live discussion, we’ll explore:• What early research found about using hypnotic induction to treat female orgasm difficulties and anorgasmia• How more recent research builds on those findings• How attention, absorption, imagery, and reduced cognitive interference may influence orgasm• Why hypnotic induction may be understood as an orgasmic learning pathway• What the science currently supports—and what remains unknown
