International Female Or**sm Day is more than just an awareness campaign. It’s a meaningful invitation for ALL therapists to support pleasure equity in our work.
Many women arrive in our Center for Love and S*x s*x therapy sessions with questions they’ve never felt comfortable asking their friends, their moms, their sisters and their general therapists:
💫“Is it normal that I’ve never had an or**sm?”
💫“Why do I feel disconnected from my body during s*x?”
💫“How do I tell my partner what feels good?”
💫 “Why is it so hard to have an or**sm during s*x (their definition of s*x like most people=vaginal pe*******on, while to a s*xuality educated therapist s*x is everything that one can do that excites using our bodies!)
These questions reflect something bigger: the longstanding OR**SM gap in s*x education, s*xploration, and partnered curiosity and encouragement when it comes to female pleasure when engaging in heteros*xual s*x.
As s*x therapists, we can help close the or**sm gap by guiding clients toward:
💡 Body literacy - learning how arousal works and what turns them on.
📖 Or**sm education - understanding the different ways or**sm can be achieved.
💬 Empowered communication - building the confidence to express needs and preferences.
🔄 Gentle exploration - encouraging clients to embrace connection, curiosity, and pleasure.
This type of approach isn’t just about or**sms - promoting pleasure equality also helps build S*X ESTEEM® leading to higher self-esteem, more empowered s*xual agency, and greater relationship satisfaction.
