How should I feel if my partner doesnât orgasm?
Weâve seen some TikTok trends weâre not sure about and we want to talk about them.

The second is âokra waterâ and its dubious health claims.
Then we discuss a question we saw in Womenâs Health Australia: âshould I be offended if my partner doesnât orgasmâ?Â
Plus we put a poll on our Instagram story asking about the orgasm gap in your relati...
