Girls Should Learn About Orgasms In Sex Education

Outspoken Labour MP Jess Phillips talks to Lisa Williams about why we need to close the ‘orgasm gap’ once and for all.

AS ONE OF the co-founders of The Hotbed podcast, I was delighted when Labour MP Jess Phillips agreed to support our campaign to close the ‘orgasm gap’, a term that refers to the disparity of orgasms between men and women. The Hotbed recently launched a survey to chart women’s experiences of orgasms following research by the Kinsey Institute that discovered only 65% of heterosexual women, 66% of bisexual women and 86% of lesbians ‘usually or always’ orgasm during sex.

Considering that those figures compare with 95% of heterosexual men, we thought they seemed unfair.
