The uncomplicated truth about women's sexuality

Cultural myths and flawed science have long distorted our understanding of women's sexuality, leading to shame, misinformation, and real harm. Fewer than 60 percent of straight women climax during sex, compared to 90 percent of men, yet solutions often miss the mark by treating female sexuality as a problem to fix. The clitoris was fully mapped only in 2009, underscoring the depth of this ignorance. True sexual well-being asks for self-knowledge and a broader, more inclusive definition of pleasure.
