Science Exposes Society’s Hidden Role in the Orgasm Gap
We need to talk about society’s role in the orgasm gap and our sex lives
Let’s face it — sex is pretty important. It’s one of the most basic human desires. Along with survival, it’s the most fundamental Darwinian goal of the human species. And for many of us, it’s a considerable part of our identity.
Which is precisely why I’m a proponent of a little concept called universal sexual rights. Sexual rights can mean many things. The concept encompasses an extensive arrangement of preferences, dispositions, and orientations.
Human sexuality is so broad it encompasses everything from biological sex, to gender identity, from sexual preferences, to our beliefs about life, love, loss, and commitment.
At its core, universal sexual rights are about ensuring that every individual has the freedom and agency to make choices about their sexuality and sexual identity without fear of discrimination, coercion, or violence.
It’s about recognizing that sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human experience, and that every individual is entitled to explore and express their sexuality in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling to them.
