S4 6. How to Close the Orgasm Gap
In this episode, Cate and Diggory go on their first school trip to the cinema to watch the new film, 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande' in which Emma Thompson plays a retired widow who hires a young sex worker to give her her first ever orgasm. This sparks some conversation that, be warned, contains some light spoilers for the film - but nothing that hasn't already been mentioned in the press reviews or interviews for the movie already - so if you want to see the film without knowing much about it, come back and listen to this episode after you've watched the film.
Off the back of that, Cate and Diggory go on to talk about orgasms and the orgasm gap, in which they discuss:
- What the Orgasm Gap is?
- Is it easier for men to orgasm than women?
- Can everyone orgasm?
- Why is the gap widening?
- How can we close the Orgasm Gap?
Then, Diggory puts questions to Cate sent in by you, our listeners! Is a couple in their 60s 'too old' to start having sex again? And how should someone with a hair fetish tell their girlfriend that they're feeling less desire for them now they've had a haircut?
