The truth is that I am not getting enough sex and I can no longer ignore this gnawing feeling that I have barely begun to experience the kind of pleasure my body is capable of. Connecting with my erotic self has became a matter of urgency. And I know that I am not alone. In my heterosexual, cisgender, white British context female sexual pleasure remains shrouded in mystery and borderline taboo. The more I learn about the connection between the treatment of the vulva and women’s ability to relax, create, explore, lead and excel the more fascinated I am.
That is why I am launching 12, a podcast series exploring the twelve different ways a woman is apparently able to orgasm. I want to start a conversation. A conversation that honours women’s sexuality and their sex. A conversation which challenges the status quo of a culture with an overwhelmingly male sexual gaze. A culture which overlooks female sexual anatomy in mainstream scientific reference books and tolerates an industry where women are reduced to sexual objects.
Each episode of 12 focuses on one of the ways a woman can apparently orgasm, from the g-spot to the blended orgasm, the cervix to the mind. The series delves into the elements that come into play when women have sex; the psychological, the historical, the biological, the sociological and cultural. Each episode also includes an insight into what happened when my partner and I tried to find the orgasm. 12 is packed full of honesty, vulnerability as well as practical advice.

Customer Reviews
So easy to listen to ... like talking to your best friend.
I love these podcasts. Sarah’s narration is a bit like listening to Stephen Fry read ‘Harry Potter’ - nuanced, fun and completely unintimidating. Like you want them to step out of the audio and be in the room with you. I liked the rigour of Sarah’s research around her subject, her uncomplicated honesty about her bedroom experiences and sense of humour. If you’re a woman looking to understand your sexuality, I don’t know why you wouldn’t listen to this series. If you’re in touch with it, it’s a reminder. And if you’re interested in women as a lover, it’s for you too. From @its.personalgirls, Sarah Chadwick.
Exciting, brave adventuring
Love, love, love this in all it's glorious honesty. Riveting stuff, can't wait to hear each and every episode. It's a sensitive subject delicately explored (every pun intended) and unlike anything else on the subject.
Amazing start
Episode 1 off to an awesome start - a fascinating listen so far! Looking forward to the next 11 episodes!
