Introduction

Sex and sexual health is an integral part of overall well-being. It’s essential to have access to accurate information and resources to make informed decisions. This website is dedicated to providing a safe space for women to learn about sexual issues. We aim to empower women by providing them with evidence based knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their sexual health. We have curated a wealth of information on topics such as sex, masturbation, orgasms, sexual anatomy, sexual dysfunction, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and more. We believe that every woman deserves to have access to reliable and up-to-date information about her body and sexual health.

“Coming to Understand: Orgasm and the Epistemology of Ignorance” is the title of an academic article by Nancy Tuana, a feminist philosopher. She argues that we need to study not only what we know, but also what we don’t know, and how our ignorance is shaped by social and political factors. She uses the example of female sexuality and orgasm to show how different sources of knowledge, such as science, culture, and personal experience, have influenced what we think we know and what we ignore or forget about women’s sexual pleasure. She suggests that we can learn more about ourselves and the world by examining our ignorance and challenging the assumptions and biases that create it.

“Lay understanding and scientific accounts of female sexuality and orgasm provide a fertile site for demonstrating the importance of including epistemologies of ignorance within feminist epistemologies. Ignorance is not a simple lack. It is often constructed, maintained, and disseminated and is linked to issues of cognitive authority, doubt, trust, silencing, and uncertainty. Studying both feminist and nonfeminist understandings of female orgasm reveals practices that suppress or erase bodies of knowledge concerning women’s sexual pleasures.”
