Welcome back to Unpaused.

I'm Dr. Mary Claire Haver.

In our last episode, Dr. Lauren Stryker and I started an in-depth conversation about orgasm, sexual function, and why these topics are still so difficult to talk about, even in doctors' offices.

There was so much ground to cover on this topic that we decided to split this conversation into a two-part episode.

So today, we're picking up right where we left off.

If you're just joining us, let me tell you about Dr. Stryker.

She's a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, the host of Dr. Stryker's Inside Information podcast, and the creator of Come Again, a 30-episode audio series on sexuality and sexual function.

For decades, she's been leading the conversations that most clinicians still won't have.

Today, we're talking about vibrators and what the research shows.

non-hormonal arousal creams and whether they work, the role of neurotransmitters and FDA-approved libido drugs like Addi and Vilisi, and why testosterone is often the preferred option for women.
