Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this essential episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily dedicates an entire show to demystifying the vagina, expanding knowledge about vulvas, vaginal health, and orgasm types. This conversation is all about understanding anatomy, pleasure pathways, and destigmatizing sexual issues that too many people face in silence. We explore the internal clitoral network and why it wasn't included in medical texts until the late 1990s, debunk myths around different types of orgasms (spoiler: they're all connected through internal clitoral structure), and address why penetration alone doesn't cause orgasms for most vulva owners. Emily answers listener questions covering everything from clitoral piercings and vaginismus to rebuilding sexual identity after cancer and chronic yeast infections. This episode includes practical product recommendations like vibrators for sensitive bodies, CBD-infused lubes, and guidance on hormone replacement therapy for vaginal health. Whether you're dealing with pain, dryness, struggling to reach climax, or just want to understand your body better, this episode offers science-backed insights and compassionate guidance for reclaiming your pleasure and sexual confidence.

0:00.0	I thought I was broken. I thought the thrusting that the penis was doing inside of me,
0:04.1	thrusting, thrusting, thrusting should have produced an orgasm. And I thought, well, what the
0:07.5	fuck is wrong with me? Because that's what's supposed to happen. That's not what happens. We
0:12.0	didn't study it. We didn't know. Gosh, there's so much to learn.
0:19.2	You're listening to Sex with Emily. I'm Dr. Emily, and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure
