What if better sex wasn’t about performing… but about finally understanding your own body?
In Episode 6 of Vaginally Speaking, we’re taking a bold look at the orgasm gap — why so many women are missing out on the pleasure they deserve, and how you can start changing that tonight.
Let’s start with the facts: only 18% of women orgasm from penetration alone. Yep, you read that right. And yet, for most of us, that’s all we were taught about sex. No wonder nearly half of women admit to faking it at some point.
The truth is, most women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm — and there is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the shame, silence, and lack of education that’s left us disconnected from our bodies and settling for less.
This episode is for every woman: single, partnered, postpartum, or simply ready to uplevel her sex life. You’ll laugh, you’ll blush, and you’ll walk away knowing that your body isn’t broken — you’ve just been missing the roadmap to your own pleasure.
Here’s what we dive into:
The orgasm gap in numbers: Why only 65% of women orgasm during sex — and why the real number may be even lower.
The clitoris, uncovered: Why penetration alone isn’t enough, and why it’s time we stop pretending it should be.
The shame cycle: How poor sex ed and cultural silence have taught women to ignore their own needs.
The nervous system connection: Practical ways to relax your body so orgasms come more easily (yes, stress is a mood-killer).
The power of your senses: How smell, sound, texture, and taste can turn up your arousal dial.
Simple position shifts: Why tiny adjustments can make a big difference in pleasure.
Communication hacks: How talking openly (and yes, even scheduling sex) can totally transform intimacy.
The tools of the trade: Why toys, lube, and curiosity aren’t “extras” — they’re essential to closing the orgasm gap.
Pleasure as medicine: Why your orgasms aren’t frivolous — they’re good for your nervous system, hormones, and mental health.
Here’s the bottom line: faking it might spare feelings in the moment, but it robs you of the connection, healing, and joy your body is designed for.
It’s time to stop pretending, start exploring, and claim the orgasms you were built for.
