Adult Sex Ed for Women w/ Dr. Maria Sophocles | Szn. 5 Ep. 11

How much do women really know about their own sexual health? From painful sex and changing orgasms to menopause and hormonal shifts, women experience significant changes in their bodies throughout their lives. Yet many are left wondering what's normal, what's treatable, and why no one ever told them what to expect. Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist Dr. Maria Sophocles, author of The Bedroom Gap, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the medical realities of women's sexual health—and the information too often missing from the conversation. Together, they explore endometriosis, hysterectomy, menopause, painful sex, pelvic-floor dysfunction, changes in orgasm, medications, clitoral adhesions, vaginal dryness, and hormone therapy—and why women are so often left navigating these issues without adequate guidance. They also challenge some deeply ingrained assumptions about sex itself. Why is penetration treated as the ultimate goal? Why do women assume something is wrong when their orgasms change? And why aren't doctors routinely asking about sexual health? Consider this the adult sex education you probably never got.
