Discover the real health benefits of foreplay for women 

Women's Month is about more than recognising achievement in the boardroom, it's also a chance to talk openly about women's health, including the parts of wellness that don't always make it into the conversation.

Learn the origins of International Orgasm Day, the science behind female pleasure, and how to close the orgasm gap. 

Every year on August 8th, the world marks International Orgasm Day, a holiday with a surprisingly personal origin story. It began in 2007 in a small Brazilian town, when a local councilman publicly apologised to his wife for an imbalance in pleasure in their relationship and proposed a day dedicated to correcting it. What started as one man's gesture struck a nerve far beyond his hometown, and the idea spread across South America, Europe, and eventually the world, growing into a global movement for sexual wellness, education, and equality in the bedroom.

It's easy to treat a day like this as a novelty. But underneath the cheeky name is a genuinely important conversation about health, intimacy, and self care for women's pleasure — one that's still overdue in a lot of relationships.
