The Orgasm Gap, Divorce Dating & Sarah Pidgeon | Marie Claire’s Pleasure Issue

What actually gives women pleasure, and why are we still so bad at talking about it?

In this special Pleasure Issue episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron go inside the pages of the new issue, from the tiny everyday pleasures that make life better to the really juicy bits.

Georgie and Mel talk about the orgasm gap, sexual satisfaction, dating after divorce, sex toys, kissing in long-term relationships, friendship breakups, hobbies that don’t make money, dermaplaning, sex dreams and the underrated joy of yapping.

They also discuss Marie Claire’s May cover star Sarah Pidgeon, who plays Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, and why the Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jr obsession is still so powerful.
