Send us Fan Mail Content note: this episode discusses sexual violence and assault. We all absorbed a set of ideas about women and sex so early we never thought to question them: that women want it less, that desire fades with age, that if it hurts, that’s just how it is.

Send us Fan Mail Yes, nipple orgasms are real, and you can learn to have one. This week I'm breaking down the nipplegasm: a full orgasm, felt in the genitals, that starts entirely from nipple play. I had my first one through my own self-pleasure practice, so everything here comes from real experience plus the research. No gear required to start, and it works on any body with nipples. In this episode, I break down: What a nipplegasm actually is, and the brain science that makes it possibleThe ...
