Quotes from Episode:
“The whole time I'm making love, I'm orgasmic. Why is that? Because I've surrendered to everything that I'm feeling and I'm not protecting myself. That's being an orgasmic woman.”

“For a woman, if there hasn't been an energetic buildup, energy orgasms along the way, and a fluidity flowing through the body, the sexual experience is not truly fulfilling.”
