If sex has ever felt like a confusing chore, a pressure-filled performance, or just… not designed with your brain in mind, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Leann Borneman sits down with bestselling author and sex therapist Dr. Laurie Mintz (📚 Becoming Cliterate, A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex) for a raw, hilarious, and deeply validating convo about orgasms, desire, and a little on how ADHD + sensory differences can shape our sexual experiences.
We tackle:
-
The orgasm gap and why it’s not your fault
-
The myth of "foreplay" and why it’s time to rewrite the script
-
Vibrators, high-vibration receptors, and the neuroscience of pleasure
-
ADHD overstimulation, sex paralysis, and the magic of planning without pressure
-
Responsive vs. spontaneous desire—and how most of us were never taught the difference
Whether you’ve faked it, avoided it, or felt broken for not wanting it—this episode flips the script and reminds you: pleasure should work for your brain, not against it.
👉 Listen in and give yourself permission to reimagine sex on your terms.
