While Lori hoped sex would be the magical experience she was promised before she was married, she spent ten years in a cycle of disappointment, expectations and dread. Sex was just something on her to-do list, and while her husband desperately wanted her to enjoy the experience too, she couldn't see how things could change.
But then, through the mysterious - and sometimes miraculous - Facebook algorithm, she found an online course created for women just like her and she suddenly discovered that not only was she not alone in her experience, but that there was hope for pleasure in her marriage.
This catapulted Lori onto a journey of discovering the goodness of her body, the expansiveness of pleasure, and led her to have her first orgasm at the age of 42! What she has learned brings great hope to any woman on a journey to grow deeper in her capacity for pleasure and enjoyment of sex.
