Listen to the entire Snap Judgment episode "Infamous"

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Truth

Influencers (part I of II)

Parce que certains sextoys ont des voix intégrées, ils nous racontent, en creux, ce que nous aimerions entendre. Attention, ce podcast contient des voix d'hommes gutturales chaudes comme la braise. Et pas mal de vibrations.
Sexe & sounds, le podcast de Maïa Mazaurette : des bruits du porno aux sextoys qui parlent, des langues de l'amour aux mystères de l'ASMR et des musiques qui donnent envie... 
Réalisation : Samuel Hirsch - Texte & voix : - Maïa Mazaurette

Sex and sounds (n°2) : La voix des sextoys

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.

Sex and sounds (n°4) : Dirty talking

This hour of Radiolab, a look behind the curtain of how memories are made...and forgotten. Remembering is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process--it’s easy come, easy go as we learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. And Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his 7-second memory.

Memory and Forgetting

L'humour est partout, l'humour fait vendre, pourtant le rire au lit passe souvent pour une mauvaise nouvelle. Nous sommes sérieux comme des papes. Nous avons la trouille que ce rire soit un jugement. Nous nous demandons si l'expression "femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit" ne recouvre pas un énorme malentendu : et si cette femme qui rit, au lieu d'entrer dans notre lit... était occupée à en sortir ?
