Summary

This is my talk I gave at the 2023 Clitoris Summit https://clitoris.io/summit2023 I discuss the bias that women’s sexual health is all in her head. We can’t neglect the “bio” part of all bodies. 9% of urologists in the United States are female – which is about 1,000 surgeons. Orgasms are good for us, but so often are considered “bonuses” Don’t forget the “psychosocial” part of sexuality. Clitoral Adhesions Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder What to do about blunted orgasms? New guidelines on female orgasm coming soon!

0:00.0	You are listening to You Are Not Broken, the only podcast that combines science, medicine, and
0:07.6	psychology to re-educate your brain and help you live your best love life. And I'm your host,
0:12.3	board-certified female urologist, Dr. Kelly Casperson. So yeah, I was kind of thinking,
0:17.9	like, you know, what should I talk about? And I thought for a little bit, I should talk specifically about pain of the clitoris. And I was like, yeah, I was kind of thinking, like, you know, what should I talk about? And I thought for a little bit I should talk specifically about pain of the clitoris.
0:23.7	And I was like, yeah, but we can't forget this and that and that.
0:26.3	And so really I wanted to talk about kind of the medical bio part of this.
0:31.1	You know, we come into so many great speakers here are the psychosocial component of sexual wellness and health.
0:36.6	And really, we can't. I think what we do
0:39.3	is we tend to say for men, we gender stereotype and oversimplify, but for men, it's all in their
0:46.3	penis, none of it's in their head, just give them Viagra, that's all they need. It's very biologic. It's
0:50.4	just blood flow, fix the blood flow, and they're going to be fine. And that's way over simplifying penis owners. What we do for clitoris owners, and we say it's all in her head. She's just
0:59.4	stressed. She just needs more sleep. She just needs a better relationship. She just needs to learn how to
1:04.2	communicate. She used to just find her sensuality. And we're like, well, she has biologic things going on also.
1:11.1	She's got hormones.
1:11.9	She's got nerves like Dr. Peters is talking about.
1:14.6	She's got issues that can happen with the clitoris.
1:16.9	And if we ignore her biology, we might be missing something important to improve her sexuality.
1:22.8	So really, that's what I wanted to talk about today.
1:25.0	So hopefully why you should care about the biology part, right?
1:28.4	I think we do oversimplify women that they're all in their heads. They're all psychosocial,
1:32.5	but really we can't neglect the bio part of all bodies. So we're going to discuss clitoral
1:37.4	fymosis, GSM, which is the new term for vulvovaginal atrophy. They got rid of that term.
