Get to know the powerful bundle of nerves dedicated to sexual pleasure. Difficulty orgasming in partnered sex? It’s not you— it’s a lack of understanding about how the clitoris works. There is a cultural myth that women should orgasm through penetration alone. In fact, women more reliably reach climax through self-stimulation than through partnered sex. Instead of getting to know the clitoris and how it works, many are trying to get sexual education from porn. Porn is not sex ed. It’s wiser to spend some time discovering what feels pleasurable to oneself and try to communicate that to a partner. Letting your male partner know what you like provides welcome direction. Listen as Dr. Laurie Mintz joins Dr. Pamela Peeke to discuss the importance of getting to know the clitoris and pushing for orgasm equality. Sponsor: Smarty Pants Vitamins
