In this eye-opening episode of The Durex Podcast, we uncover a startling reality: nearly 70% of Indian women don’t experience orgasm during sex. Host Abhay Deol engages in a candid and insightful conversation with Neha Dhupia and @SumukhiSuresh , exploring the “orgasm gap,” the silence around female pleasure, and the deep-rooted societal pressures that shape women’s experiences with desire and intimacy in India.They challenge common misconceptions by discussing why intercourse often doesn’t equate to pleasure for many women, the stigma that keeps female voices unheard, and what men need to understand to bridge this gap and foster real intimacy. This episode invites listeners to rethink intimacy, break taboos, and embrace open, honest conversations about female desire and pleasure. In this episode, we discuss:

Societal taboos around female pleasure & desire

How our views on sex shape gender roles

The role of foreplay and two way communication

Why sex is about so much more than just intercourse

How sex & intimacy evolve as women grow older

The importance of female friendships
