Enter renowned professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dr Lori Brotto, who is changing the game for women's sexual health. Dr Lori shares her deep understanding of female anatomy and psychology and cutting-edge research on how to climax.

  • Can women climax during penetrative sex?

  • Why can’t I orgasm?
  • Can women have a premature orgasm?
