Becoming Cliterate – Orgasmic Inequality with Dr. Laurie Mintz

Dr. Laurie Mintz is a feminist author, therapist, professor, and speaker whose life’s work has been committed to helping people live more authentic, meaningful, joyful—and sexually satisfying—lives through the art and science of psychology.

Background story - how she got into sexuality education and therapy?

Everyone cares about a woman’s libido – but I want to ask – are women just having boring sex?

Tell us the stats about orgasmic inequality and how this ties in to affecting a woman’s libido

The orgasm gap is even worse for the hook up culture – can you tell us the data and why it is concerning.

What is her opinion on scheduling sex?

She talks about stress and overwork as top reasons for lowered sex life – my women say “oh yeah” but what should they actually do about it.

She says that “empowerment in the bedroom leads to confidence in the boardroom” – please tell us more.

In her “tired guide” book you say there is no pill for desire – that book was 2009 – now there is a pill and an injection – what are her thoughts about these?

If someone asked me to re-do sex ed for our youth – I would include pleasure, vulvar anatomy, the lie that PIV causes orgasms for women – what would you add?

I want to ask her about three women and hear her advice

A 20 yo single, just starting out

A 38 yo, married, kids, full time job – lost her libido, doesn’t enjoy sex

A 58 yo, post menopause, kids out of the house, husband feels like a roomate

What her opinion of us educators not being able to use or being afraid of saying certain words on
