Replying To Comments And Thinking On The Discrepancies Around 'Vaginal Orgasm'
My thoughts about replying to comments people make on my more high profile posts.
Can We Go Beyond Tackling This Problem by Blaming it on Partner Communication?
I’m truly sick of people reading a detailed critique I created about the large cultural problems with the depictions, study of, and understanding of the female orgasm - where I don’t talk at all about partner communication - and write some vaguely positive thing about it that basically just says, “Yeah! She’s right. We should all just communicate better in bed!” I speak on that here.
Defending the Harder Parts of Science, Sex and the Ladies
I may seem like a bitch that doesn’t believe women, but the possibility that the vaginal orgasm isn’t actual and that women might say they have it when they aren’t actually physically having an orgasm is pretty hard to ignore.
An Educational Video Meets A Midnight Movie - Finally, We've Given You a Box for Science, Sex and the Ladies!
When you release a movie, it really needs to have a clean genre to tell people if you want it programmed (we’ve learned that the hard way). We do not fit well into clean genres, but now, I’m thinking midnight movie meets education video is a genre I feel good telling people. I speak on it here
The Female Orgasm Debate With Edward Clint at Skeptic Ink - My Response #1
My first response in a debate with Edward Clint from Skeptic Ink. It started from a critique I had of a post he did on his blog. Although he was not interested in arguing my original critique, we decided on a debate related to the vaginal orgasm.
Ponderings About Other's Reactions to Science, Sex and the Ladies
Questions I get: What about love and connection - can you really take that out of the orgasm discussion? Don’t we already know this stuff? Don’t many women value other elements of sex over orgasm? My thoughts.
What the Ladies of Vivid Radio Taught Me
My thoughts after listening to the ladies of Vivid during my 3 free month of Sirius Radio. - “I truly believe that if we ever succeed at really changing female sexual culture for the better, it will not be without the women of porn or against them, it will be beside them”
How Our F'd Up Sexual Culture Slowly Breaks Us Ladies And Our 'Gasms
After a discussion with a friend, here is my thoughts about why women’s ability to orgasm with another person might not realistically be as quick, easy, or reliable as masturbating on their own.
Press Kit Response to the Most Controversial part of Science, Sex and the Ladies
A sneak peak of how I’m discussing in the press kit the stance that vaginal orgasm seem to be, well, not a thing if you look at the scientific literature.
Vag-gasms are the Underdog of Orgasms Like Christians are the Underdogs of America
A quick rant about writers and sexperts acting as if the vagina is so overlooked in sex…as if the clit were somehow overpowering the vagina in our sexual culture.
The G-Spot/Vaginal Orgasm Debate is Ridiculous
Some bad pop-science BS article about the clitoral/vaginal orgasm debate. I go off a bit.

My Love of Playboy Might Have Messed Up My Young Feminist Mojo
I was a straight girl that grinded off to a lot of Playboys in my teens. It was formative, and influenced my early ideas about feminism and sexuality, but with time my ideas have evolved.
I'm Inspired To Get A Little Personal Up In Here
The messy, misinformed sexual culture that hinders lady-gasms isn’t just something I write about, it’s something I live just like every other women out there, but I don’t often discuss my personal experience in it.
Yeah, You Heard Me, Vaginal Stimulation Hasn't Been Shown To Cause Orgasm: A Defense

In Defense Of My Hetero-centric Style of Female Orgasm Activism
My thoughts about the hetero-centric focus of my activism; pros, cons, ideas. It’s complicated, but my larger hope is really to break down the cis-hetero focus of our cultural sexual script.
