In today’s episode, we break through all of the b******t and false information that is shown in the media, movies shows, or lack there of around women’s pleasure. We talk about why becoming cliterate matters and how to bridge the orgasm gap. Society and the media has been a large reason why the Orgasm gap exists. Today we go over what is being Cliterate, how do you become cliterate and what can you do to have more pleasure in the bedroom or give a female more pleasure. Lauries Mintz life’s work has been dedicated to helping people live more authentic, joyful, meaningful, and sexually satisfying lives through art and science of psychology. Dr. Laurie Mintz is a professor, author, speaker, and therapist. As a tenured Professor at the University of Florida, she teaches the Psychology of Human Sexuality to hundreds of undergraduate students each year. We debunk some myths and share some surprising stats on sex, penetration, and orgasm. We’ve been thinking about sex all wrong. Mainstream media, movies, and porn have taught us that sex = penis + vagina, and everything else is just secondary. The problem is, women don’t orgasm this way. We’ve separated our most reliable route to orgasm—clitoral stimulation—from how we feel we should orgasm—penetration. As a result, we’ve created a pleasure gap between women and men: 50% of 18-35-year-old women say they have trouble reaching orgasm with a partner 64% of women vs 91% of men said they had an orgasm at their last sexual encounter 55% of men vs. 4% of women say they usually reach orgasm during first-time hookup sex She is the author of two popular press books-both written with the aim of empowering women sexually and both with published studies demonstrating their effectiveness: Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters and How to Get It (HarperOne, 2017) and A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex: Reclaim Your Desire and Reignite Your Relationship (Adams Media, 2009). With this same goal of providing scientifically-accurate, sex-positive information to enhance female pleasure, Dr. Mintz writes a popular Psychology Today blog and gives presentations and workshops to professionals and lay audiences, including a recent TEDx talk.
