How to Use a Vibrator

is one of the questions I get most often—and most bashfully—in my work as a sex therapist. Here’s how!

How to Squirt

“Squirting,” more accurately known as female ejaculation and sometimes called “shejaculate” by the internet, remains one of the more highly debated and controversial subjects in sex science to date. Many experts still question whether female ejaculation even exists—in the year 2021 we still haven’t yet sorted out female sexual physiology.

Dr. Nan Wise

Opportunities for pleasure are everywhere—from sex to food to exotic escapes—yet we are becoming increasingly more depressed and anxious. Research shows that many people are having less sex, and those who do have a lot, enjoy it less. For more than thirty years, Dr. Nan Wise has worked as a therapist, helping people achieve more satisfying sexual lives. In recent years, her work has shifted to the study of anhedonia—the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable—and why more people than ever suffer from it.
