Closing the Orgasm Gap with Melanie Cristol
Could facilitating oral sex be the key to closing the orgasm gap?
Despite consistently ranking oral sex being one of their favorite if not their favorite sexual activities and three times as likely to lead to orgasm when compared to penetration, 87% of women have turned down receiving oral sex for a number of reasons.
On this episode of HerVoice, we sit down with Melanie Cristol, Founder, and CEO of Lorals. FDA-cleared, Lorals for Protection fit just like your favorite undies for safer and pleasurable oral sex.
Melanie is the founder and CEO of Brazen Goods Inc., a company that launches unique technologies to improve health, happiness, and personal relationships.
