The Orgasm Gap

I wrote all about The Orgasm Gap, Sexual Scripts, discarding the word 'foreplay' and the importance of challenging the notion that Penis-in-Vagina sex is the pinnacle. Alongside this, ways we can tackle another gender-based discrepancy.
I believe that knowledge is power when it comes to shifting these narratives so the post is littered with scientific based research to counter act the lack of from most sex education we received growing up.... (Also its littered with terrible jokes, because that's how I am surviving lockdown! I make no apologies!) Equally I implore you to submerge yourself in science based, but relatable information.
In this piece I recommend picking up @thesexdoctor book Mind The Gap, @enagoski Come As You Are. The wonderful app by @weareferly (who are currently offering a discount if you get your skates on!), and podcasts: @therapywithcatriona and @katemoyletherapy both have wonderful ones (particularly the one they do with each other on Sex and Anxiety, on Asking For A Friend) not to mention @glowwestpodcast who has a whole host of people on, especially talking topics so rarely spoken on. @becky_crepsley_fox and I discuss this same topic on her podcast, recently released.
FINALLY! I will be chatting how The Orgasm Gap impacts our sex lives when there is sexual pain with @thevagnetwork in the event this Friday.
