Fashionably late to the party! The comments are so supportive (G BLESS WIT & DELIGHT). But I would be fully into a comment thread/reddit of orgrasm chatting. There are so many things we keep to ourselves that we need to talk about!

Thank you so much for reading! It’s so great to have a group of friends like that! We need more of those humans all around!! I’m definitely working on not worrying about being foul for talking about MY BODY. It takes care of me every day! It’s so important to feel comfortable talking about it – you’re so right! Raises a Feminist mug right back 🙂

Couldn’t agree more! I’m quite lucky that I have both female AND male friends where we’re comfortable to talk about sex, orgasms and all that intimate stuff.
But don’t ever feel your words are ‘foul’ for talking about your lady parts, girl! I’ll talk about my period in front of guy friends without batting an eyelid at how uncomfortable they might get! *Sips tea from ‘Feminist’ mug*

I was super nervous to write about this, but it helped me too! And totally agree with you on that! I’ve been with someone for a long time and in our thirties a lot of great things happen 😉 I appreciate you reading and enjoying!

Thank you for opening a conversation like this. As a married woman in her 30’s I feel like I’m starting to explore sex in a completely different way than I ever have before and it’s been really freeing. Reading this just solidifies why it’s so important to talk about!

But you know it’s on my reading list now to get into right away. It sounds so insightful and there’s SO MUCH of this topic to cover and discuss! Thank you so much for the reco – and reading! I appreciate the support so much and my absolute favorite thing is hearing stories from other women. The more we tell, the better we are together 🙂 Have a lovely Sunday!

I read your post about going without your phone for the weekend. Made me laugh. Insightful.

Ooo girl — she covers a lot of theory in there as to why women don’t talk about this stuff. It hit me really hard . Super powerful read. You kinda have to leeean into parts of it (and there’s some stuff I didn’t agree with — which is normal of course) but I highly recommend. 5 stars on amazon ain’t no lie! Thanks for tackling this topic — it’s a deep and complicated one.

Saved on my Amazon books immediately!! This sounds like an incredible book club situation by the way. If this book club becomes a thing you can invite more people to, please feel free to send me a note! Thank you for making the conversation strong and beautiful, just like the lady orgasm 😉

I just started reading Vagina by Naomi Wolf, and have now wrangled all of my close girlfriends into reading it and doing a book club meeting about it! It’s been beyond eye opening to learn more about the actual neural and nervous networks behind our orgasms, and to begin to understand the beautifully complicated and powerful systems that power our pleasure. 100% agree – we all have to be talking about this more!

This is beautiful! Talking about these things can make us feel understood and so much closer. I so much appreciate you reading and sharing. It actually almost made me cry to read what you wrote?? Estrogen, man 🙂

Not only was it one of the best conversations I’ve had with my girlfriends, it changed my life, in such a great way.

And yes!! Totally agree. I had a conversation with a few of my very close girlfriends recently and discovered the same thing. One of them was SUPER comfortable talking about orgasms and I envied her for it. Then I asked myself why I was scared and writing helped me define that a little more. Even if you don’t want to overshare anything – that’s TOTALLY fine. But I want to feel more comfortable listening and learning, too. Appreciate you so much for reading and enjoying! xoxo

I actually had a conversation with one of my closest friends the other day that was basically about this, and it felt so awkward. We’ve known each other for like 15 years and talk about sex all the time, but this was the first instance where we brought up any detail about our own pleasure. It was weird how weird it felt, because i’m sure if you asked either of us we would say that we talk about everything, and there are no boundaries. Anyway i think going forward it will take some work to keep it from feeling like an overshare just on a personal level.
