Mini Episode: Neuroscience of Orgasm

Fitting for this time of year, this mini-episode is all about the birds & the bees... kind of.

In the Neuroscience of Orgasm, Laine walks us through the research of what's going on (or not) in our brains during that peak moment of pleasure.

But don't worry, as we mention at the beginning -- we keep things science-forward and professional (as best we can).

And because there's SO much to talk about, we opted to make this episode a touch longer than our usual 15 minutes... Hope you don't mind!

Enjoy, and if any other questions come up be sure to let us know!
