Send a textMost men assume she just doesn't enjoy it.

Send a textWhat if orgasms were about more than just pleasure?In this episode of Talk Sex with Annette, I'm joined by Venus O'Hara—author, sexual wellness expert, and host of the Orgasmic Lifestyle Podcast—to explore the O Method, also known as orgasmic manifestation.We break down:What orgasmic manifestation actually is (and what it isn't)How sexual energy can be used for intention, confidence, and changeWhy pleasure isn't just instant gratification—it's powerHow to start if masturbation feels awkward, shame-filled, or unfamiliarWhether you need to orgasm for the practice to workWhy this matters especially for women navigating trauma, midlife, or desire shiftsEven if you don't believe in manifestation, you'll still get orgasms out of it. And you might rethink what pleasure is really for.You can find Venu Here: https://www.venusohara.org/You can order her book Orgasmic Manifestation Here: https://www.venusohara.org/orgasmic-manifestation

Send a textMost advice about sexual attraction is either vague, manipulative, or flat-out wrong.This episode isn't about tricks, lines, or “alpha” posturing. It's about what actually creates sexual attraction — in real bodies, real moments, and real connection.In this episode, I break down five specific things that reliably make women feel sexually attracted, based on psychology, nervous-system science, and what women consistently respond to — not what dating culture thinks they should.You'll learn:Why attraction dies when desire gets turned into hesitationHow to express interest in a way that feels confident and safeWhat overstaying the moment does to desire (and why less really is more)How presence, timing, and responsiveness matter more than performanceWhy attraction isn't about convincing someone — it's about how you show upThese aren't manipulation tactics. They're behavioral shifts that create clarity, tension, and genuine pull — without pressure, games, or crossing boundaries.If you've ever wondered why things start strong but lose heat, or why connection doesn't always turn into desire, this episode will change how you understand attraction — and how you move inside it.

Send a textThis Talk Sex With Annette topic takes the show back to its roots when it was just a girl's sex talk podcast.For too long, women's most honest conversations about sex have happened in whispers — in group chats, locker rooms, and over wine when no one's listening.But what happens when we stop whispering?In this episode, I sit down with writer and pleasure activist Tash Doherty, the bold voice behind Miseducated, to talk about what women really say about sex when you're not in the room — and why it changes everything when we take the mic.We dive into:• The orgasm gap and why it still exists • Pegging, anal equality, and rewriting the sexual script • Why women fake orgasms (and why it hurts everyone) • How speaking openly about sex transforms relationships • What men need to understand about female pleasureThis isn't just about women talking about desire. It's about rewriting the rules of sex — for everyone.If you've ever wondered what women really think about sex… this episode is your invitation to find out.Check out Tash's Intimacy Journal Here: https://www.tashdoherty.com/shopFind her on Substack: https://misseducated.substack.com/
