S3 Ep82 - It’s Not You, It’s Biology: Why Women Take Longer to Orgasm (And How to Make the Most of It)

When it comes to sex and pleasure, there’s a common misconception that women should be able to orgasm quickly and easily—just like we often see in movies or adult content. But if you’ve ever felt like you’re “taking too long” to reach climax, let’s set the record straight:You are not broken. The truth is, women’s bodies are biologically wired to take longer to become fully aroused and orgasm, and understanding why can transform your pleasure and intimacy.

Rather than seeing this as a problem, what if you embraced it as an opportunity? A slower, more intentional approach to arousal doesn’t just lead to more satisfying orgasms—it deepens connection, enhances pleasure, and makes sex more fulfilling for both partners. In this episode, we’ll explore the science behind female arousal, why emotional and physical factors play such a big role, and how you can work with your body (rather than against it) to maximize pleasure.
