  • #21 Pt1: Ocean Wave, Avalanche or Volcano? 40 Years of Female Orgasm Science
    Sep 15 2026
    Send us Fan MailAnna Lee, CEO and co-founder of Lioness, joins Judith to reveal what a dataset of around 100,000 orgasms has uncovered about female sexual pleasure — and how little the science had actually established before. This part covers how the Lioness biofeedback vibrator measures involuntary pelvic-floor contractions, the three distinct orgasm patterns the data reveals, and the finding that will genuinely surprise most listeners: orgasm strength tends to increase as women move into their fifties and sixties, not decline.Key topics discussed- What the Lioness device actually measures, and how biofeedback orgasm data works- The three orgasm patterns — ocean wave (rhythmic, most common), avalanche (high force tapering down), and volcano (rare, single explosive peak) — identified through involuntary pelvic-floor contractions- Why those patterns matter: correcting four decades of incomplete research based on a 1982 study of only 11 women- The type-switching debate: whether a person moves between orgasm patterns over time, and what the current data does and does not show- The age finding: women aged 51–60 appear to reach orgasm fastest and generate the strongest peak force — contradicting the widespread assumption that sexual pleasure declines with age- Why this podcast cares: the knowledge gap in female sexual health, and how understanding your own body is a health act, not a vanity oneTimestampsThese are estimates and may shift in final editing.0:00 — Introduction: Judith introduces Anna Lee and Lioness1:00 — What Lioness measures: involuntary pelvic-floor contractions during pleasure and orgasm2:30 — How the app works: pairing the device, reading the data, tracking lifestyle factors4:00 — The three orgasm patterns: ocean wave, avalanche, volcano6:30 — The 1982 Bohlen study (n=11) versus the Lioness dataset (~100,000 data points); the Pfaus/Hartmann research8:30 — The type-switching debate: do people move between patterns?10:00 — The age study: orgasm strength increases in the 51–60 range12:30 — Why this matters: "knowledge is pleasure," and the parallel to tracking sleep and nutrition14:00 — Fertility and orgasm type: what we do and do not know15:30 — End of Part 1ReferencesLioness Smart VibratorThe biofeedback device discussed throughout.

  • #21 Pt2: Caffeine, THC, Alcohol - What Actually Changes Your Orgasm
    Sep 15 2026
    Send us Fan MailPart 2 of Judith's conversation with Anna Lee, CEO and co-founder of Lioness, gets into the practical side: what actually changes your orgasms, and what the data shows. Anna walks through the findings from Lioness's Sexperiments platform — including why edging outperforms everything else tested by a significant margin, why alcohol consistently weakens orgasms, and what the THC data looks like. She also corrects the most common misunderstanding about Kegel exercises, explains how a sports concussion showed up as flatlined orgasm data before anyone knew what to look for, and makes the case that female sexual dysfunction could be an early signal of broader health problems — in the same way erectile dysfunction flags cardiovascular risk.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED— Sexperiments platform: how Lioness runs collective experiments with users and analyses aggregated data— Edging: what it is, why it produces the largest measurable effect on orgasm intensity and duration of anything tested, and how sessions typically run three to four times longer— Alcohol, THC, CBD, caffeine, and socks: what the data shows for each— The concussion case study: how a flatlined orgasm pattern in an elite athlete pointed to neurological impact rather than a broken device, and why this matters clinically— Sexual dysfunction as a potential early-warning signal: the parallel to erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease— Kegels, corrected: why pelvic-floor health is built on muscle relaxation as much as contraction, and why the bicep-curl analogy changes how you think about it— Involuntary orgasmic contractions vs voluntary Kegel contractions: preliminary data suggesting masturbation may be a more effective pelvic-floor workout than Kegels alone (note: study is at abstract stage, not yet published)— Cycle tracking: the gap in the current Lioness dataset, and why tagging cycle phase into the data matters— Integrations on the horizon: Oura ring heart rate and stress data, period and fertility tracking apps, EEG consumer monitors, and vaginal moisture monitoring (Kegg)— How Lioness differs from other vibrators: design choices made specifically for female bodies, including insertable length, platinum-cure silicone, low-battery indicator, and travel lock— The full shape of the clitoris: how recently this was understood, and why it changes how we categorise orgasm types— The nerve-fibre correction: why the widely-cited 7,000–8,000 figure came from a cow sample, and what Dr. Blair Peters's 2023 human study actually found— The cultural shift in female sexual wellness: what has changed in nine years, what is still lagging, and the billboard censorship story— Anna's "magic pill" answer: why the most effective single thing is knowledge of your own body, not a product— Book recommendations: Bonk by Mary Roach and The Toaster Project by Thomas ThwaitesTIMESTAMPSThese are estimates and may shift in final editing.0:00 — Introduction to Part 2 / transition from Part 10:30 — Sexperiments platform: what it is and how it works2:30 — Edging: definition, why it outperforms all other tested variables5:00 — Alcohol, THC, CBD, caffeine effects on orgasm data; socks myth debunked9:00 — The concussion case study: athlete's flatlined data and the neurological connection11:30 — Sexual dysfunction as potential early health signal; the erectile dysfunction parallel13:00 — Kegels corrected: the bicep-curl analogy, relaxation vs squeezing, fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles15:30 — Preliminary data: involuntary orgasmic contractions vs voluntary Kegel contractions; masturbation and pelvic-floor strength (abstract stage)17:00 — Cycle tracking gap; the IUD oversight; new tagging feature in the Lioness app18:30 — Integrations: Oura, period tracking, EEG monitors, Kegg moisture data20:00 — Lioness vs other vibrators: design decisions, insertable size, silicone safety, travel lock22:00 — The full clitoris shape and the nerve-fibre correction (Dr. Blair Peters, 10,281 fibres; cow-sample origin of the old figure)24:00 — Cultural shift: what has changed in nine years; social media policies; the billboard censorship story27:00 — Anna's "magic pill" thesis: why knowing your own body is the answer29:00 — Book recommendations: Bonk and The Toaster ProjectREFERENCESLioness Sexperiments platformhttps://lioness.io"Are All Orgasms Created Equally Regardless of Age?" — Hartmann D, Pfaus J, Wood E, Klinger L, Wang JThe Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2023, Vol 20, Suppl 2.

  • #23 Pt2: Skeleton in the Closet - The Tests, Tech and Nutrition That Actually Build Stronger Bones
    Sep 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Gary Rhodes of Screen My Bones gets practical in Part 2: which bone scans are available, what they measure, and how often to retest. He explains the science behind osteogenic loading and BioDensity — a technology that builds bone safely even in people with severe osteoporosis — and covers what someone with no gym access can do. The episode also covers the specific nutrition that supports bone density, including the calcium-K2 relationship that most people get wrong.

    Key topics:
    DEXA scan: T-score, Z-score, fragility score, TBS, radiation, inaccuracy rate
    EchoLight (REMS ultrasound): bone density + quality, no radiation, 5-year risk window
    Why the TBS function on DEXA machines is rarely used — and why it matters
    Retest frequency: every 12 months recommended vs NHS 3-year standard
    BioDensity and osteogenic loading: the science, the safety, Wolff's Law
    Power Plate (whole-body vibration) and the Rev Bike (vibration + VO2 max)
    Impact vs loading: what each does for bone and whether you need both
    Zero-budget bone-building: running, hopping, jumping, heavy lifting
    Why cyclists, swimmers, and rowers have unexpectedly poor bone density
    EMS (electro-muscular stimulation): role and limitations
    Results: bone quality and T-score changes in 6 and 18 months
    Nutrition: whole foods, protein, absorption, eating in parasympathetic state
    Specific nutrients: D3 + K2/MK-7, magnesium, collagen, boron, Omega-3
    Calcium supplementation: why it can cause harm without K2 and exercise
    Protein and bone: the muscle-bone connection
