Orgasm Equality with Dr. Mintz

Season 1, Episode 47,   Nov 10, 2022, 01:00 AM

There is a long history of women not only not knowing anything about sexual pleasure but also 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.

In this episode, Dr. Streicher and Dr. Mintz discuss:
  • Why, HISTORICALLY, women have not been educated about the clitoris and its role in female pleasure and orgasm
  • Why Dr. Mintz wrote Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters and How to Get it
  • Why women often feel SHAME about the appearance of their genitalia
  • Why women still believe that orgasm will occur during intercourse
  • The anthropological explanation for why the clitoris is OUTSIDE the vagina 
  • What is meant by “ORGASM EQUALITY
  • The POLITICS of orgasm
  • Why it is important to have a SEX SCRIPT
  • Why PORN can be 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
  • Why MINDFULNESS is so important when it comes to sexual pleasure
  • LABIAL diversity
