In this episode we're putting a quick pause on agony aunting your questions and instead turning to sex tech founder, Anna Lee, for a deep dive into how she's deepening our understanding of female orgasms with the world's first smart vibrator, the Lioness, which allows users to track their orgasms using biofeedback data.

'Why would I want to track my orgasms?' you may be wondering.

Well, for far too long sex science has focused almost exclusively on the male anatomy, while overlooking the intricacies and specificities of female sexual function and pleasure. This dearth of research into the female experience of sex has led to numerous misunderstandings and oversights when it comes to our understanding of sex.

Anna and the Lioness team are seeking to address that by helping women and people-with-vulvas better get to know their own bodies, while also contributing to broader research studies around female pleasure and sexual function.

As it turns out, there's a lot we can learn about our overall health and well-being through our orgasms.

We'll be returning to your questions next week, so if you want to send your own agony aunt question to the podcast, head on over the sextalks.co.uk.

Sex Talks With Emma-Louise Boynton

Sex is about so much more than just fucking. It's about our relationship to ourselves and to our bodies. It’s about how we experience gender and the power dynamics that come with it. It’s about our capacity for vulnerability and how willing we are to let others in.

Our relationship to sex tells us so much about who we are and how we show up in the world. So why don't we talk about it more openly?

In this podcast, host and founder of Sex Talks, Emma-Louise Boynton, sits down with a new guest each week to do just that. Opening up discussion on typically taboo topics, Emma-Louise explores issues around sex and relationships, gender and the role technology is playing in changing the way we date, love and fuck.

From writers, authors and therapists, to actors, musicians and founders, the podcast brings in voices from across the board to talk about sex.
