EP11 The Orgasm Gap: Why It Exists & How to Close It | Understanding Gender Disparities in Pleasure

Did you know that in heterosexual relationships, 95% of men report reaching satisfaction, while only 65% of women do? Meanwhile, in same-gender relationships, women experience significantly higher fulfillment (86%), suggesting that knowledge, communication, and approach—not biology—are the key factors.

In this video, we break down the orgasm gap and how to close it, drawing insights from Becoming Cliterate by Dr. Laurie Mintz—a powerful book that challenges misconceptions and promotes a more equal, informed approach to pleasure and intimacy.

🔹 What Is the Pleasure Gap?
