Bad sex is worse than no sex in our opinion. Anniki Sommerville and Lisa Williams talk about their own experience of bad sex: such as when Anniki had ‘sex’ through her tights and when Lisa felt like there was a brick wall inside her vagina. They talk to Chidera Eggerue, aka The Slumflower, about lube, uncomfortable sex and her body confidence campaign #saggyboobsmatter, then to clinical psychologist and psychosexologist Dr Karen Gurney about faking orgasms: should you ever fake and can you fake it till you make it? All this and an ode to lube, a song about vulva vs vagina, and a preview of Maisie Hill’s book Period Power. Recorded at Soho Radio and the Havelock Clinic. Produced by Lisa Williams and Alex Graham. With thanks to Clare Lynch, Freuds and Durex.
