It’s time to talk about the most misunderstood organ in the human body: the clitoris. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy (sex & couples therapist, Boston) and Dr. Alex DiGrado (pelvic floor PT, Melrose, MA) pull back the hood to bust myths about female pleasure, anatomy, and the “orgasm gap.” From the hidden structure of the clitoris to why most women don’t orgasm from penetration alone, this candid conversation explores what real sex education missed, how partners can communicate better, and why knowing your body is the foundation for better pleasure and connection.

What You’ll Learn

• The true anatomy of the clitoris—far beyond “the button”
• Why 95% of women need clitoral stimulation (not just penetration) to orgasm
• How cultural scripts around sex create confusion, pressure, and fake orgasms
• The difference between clitoral and “G-spot” orgasms—and why they’re connected
• Why “tight” isn’t better: how pelvic-floor coordination (not just Kegels) supports pleasure
• How arousal, blood flow, and relaxation affect orgasm potential
• Practical ways to explore your body, communicate with partners, and close the orgasm gap

Tune in if you’ve ever thought:

• “Why can’t I orgasm from sex like in the movies?”
• “What’s the deal with the G-spot—is it real?”
• “Am I broken if I need clitoral stimulation?”
• “How do I tell my partner what actually feels good?”
