It’s something we see in movies and TV shows all of the time. The moment when partners orgasm together… at the exact same time. While this isn’t a complete mythical unicorn situation and does happen sometimes, IT IS NOT THE NORM. Let me say that again for the people in the back: ORGASMING AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUR PARTNER IS NOT THE NORM! This is one of the many things we talked about with Dr. Laurie Mintz in her interview with Sexual Health Alliance.

In Becoming Cliterate (HarperOne, May 2017), psychology professor and human sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz exposes the broader cultural problem that’s perpetuating this gap, and what we can do about it.

The revolution is cuming—and Becoming Cliterate offers a radical, simple solution to progress and pleasure for all.

Solutions for Female Orgasm Problems with Dr. Laurie Mintz
Something important Dr. Laurie Mintz will be talking about at Keeping the Spark Alive is orgasm problems! Folks with vulvas are having trouble experiencing orgasms. Spoiler Alert: It has to do with our culture! During her presentation, you will learn skills to help yourself and your clients have orgasms (or better orgasms)! Whether you are a sex therapist, sex educator, pelvic floor therapist, nurse, physician, or other professional, this information will be valuable to you and your clients. Let’s help your clients experience more pleasure! Dr. Laurie Mintiz’s presentation is sure to be informative and educational. Everything she presents will be based on science and she has done extensive research in this field.
Now, back to what we were talking about at the beginning: simultaneous orgasm. Did you know that only 4% of women reliably orgasm through penetration? Women don’t typically orgasm this way! Focusing on orgasming at the same time as your partner can cause you to miss out on one of the most important components of sex: giving and receiving pleasure! If you are worried about simultaneous orgasms, your energy will be drawn from how good the sex feels and how much you and your partner are enjoying yourselves.
