Most people think they know how the clitoris works.
They don’t.
In this episode of Talk Sex with Annette, I break down the one clit move that quietly kills orgasms—and the simple shift that changes everything.
We’re talking about why overstimulation backfires, how the nervous system actually responds to touch, and what creates arousal that builds instead of shuts down.

365 Days of Orgasms: Pleasure Is the Resolution.

“How do I get my partner to want intimacy again — not out of obligation, but because she actually desires me?”
