The link between housework & orgasms: Tackling everyday sexism with campaigner and author, Laura Bates
Sex Talks With Emma-Louise BoyntonShow Notes
What does the number of hours women spend doing housework have to do with the orgasm gap?!
According to bestselling author and the founder of the Everyday sexism campaign, Laura Bates, a lot.
In this episode, Emma sits down with Laura to discuss the systemic ways in which gender inequality remains entrenched in our society - from the social pressure on women to deprioritise their pleasure, to the routinisation of casual sexism, to the rise of extremist, misogynistic ideologies.
But it is not all doom and gloom, they end the discussion looking at the reasons for staying hopeful and what we can all do to fix the system, not the women.

One that releases us from the pressure to find “the one” and instead encourages us to find the romance in our platonic relationships.
On this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Anna Mather.
Cindy Gallop is the founder of Make Love Not Porn, a platform for people to post real-world sex videos. It’s not porn, she says, it’s social sex.
