Can a smart vibrator improve your sex life? With Anna Lee, co-founder of Lioness

Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton

Show Notes

In this episode we're putting a quick pause on agony aunting your questions and instead turning to sex tech founder, Anna Lee, for a deep dive into how she's deepening our understanding of female orgasms with the world's first smart vibrator, the Lioness, which allows users to track their orgasms using biofeedback data.

'Why would I want to track my orgasms?' you may be wondering.

Well, for far too long sex science has focused almost exclusively on the male anatomy, while overlooking the intricacies and specificities of female sexual function and pleasure. This dearth of research into the female experience of sex has led to numerous misunderstandings and oversights when it comes to our understanding of sex.

Anna and the Lioness team are seeking to address that by helping women and people-with-vulvas better get to know their own bodies, while also contributing to broader research studies around female pleasure and sexual function.

As it turns out, there's a lot we can learn about our overall health and well-being through our orgasms.

We'll be returning to your questions next week, so if you want to send your own agony aunt question to the podcast, head on over the sextalks.co.uk.
