Just Between Us with Jennifer ZamparelliShow Notes
Welcome to Just Between Us, the sex and relationships podcast from the Irish Independent, hosted by Jennifer Zamparelli. We’ve all heard about the wage gap – but what about the orgasm gap? This week, Jennifer is joined by writer, broadcaster and Sex Education script consultant Alix Fox to talk about why straight men are still having more orgasms than straight women, and how sex toys, better conversations and a broader idea of sex could help close that gap. Just Between Us is an Irish Independent podcast hosted by Jennifer Zamparelli. New episodes every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
