Show Notes

Why do girls feel empowered to engage in sexual activity but not to enjoy it?

She discusses the pleasure that's largely missing from their sexual encounters and calls on us to close the "orgasm gap" by talking candidly with our girls from an early age about sex, bodies, pleasure and intimacy.
