Episode notes
The Orgasm Gap Isn’t Just Biology
- The orgasm gap in heterosexual relationships is about a 30% difference, with men at ~95% and women at ~65%.
- Pleasure and satisfaction are broader than orgasm and often hindered by a penetration-only definition of sex.
The Clitoris Is Much Bigger Than You Think
- The clitoris is far larger than the visible nub and extends into the vaginal walls, often involved in orgasms.
- Medical texts frequently under-represent clitoral anatomy, contributing to ignorance about female pleasure.
Female Sensitivity Has Evolutionary Reasons
- Female sexual anatomy evolved to hide the clitoris for protection, resulting in higher sensitivity than the penis.
- We can apply erectile-dysfunction research from men to clitoral function because the tissues behave similarly.
