Cli-totally Normal
2026-10-28
Here’s what school never told you: the clitoris is ten centimetres long, has 10,000 nerve endings — more than double the penis — keeps growing your whole life, and exists purely for pleasure. Sexologist and Sexual Health and LGBTIQA+ Educator Steph Andrews talks to Maddie about everything that one fact should change: why pleasure gets left out of sex ed entirely, why knowing your own body is a safety skill nobody frames as one, the orgasm gap (95% of straight men usually or always orgasm, 65% of straight women — and lesbian women sit at 86%, so it’s not the anatomy, it’s the script), the G-spot finally explained, what porn teaches and what it dangerously leaves out, why consent is specific to every single act, how to get out of your own head, and the resources that actually teach what school didn’t. If you’ve ever quietly wondered whether you’re broken: you’re not. You were handed the wrong script. The clitoris, the orgasm gap, vibrators, porn vs reality, spectatoring, communication, and pleasure as a feminist issue.

From women who figured it out the hard way, for girls who shouldn't have to.
LitHERacy exists because I got tired of pretending I had the answers. It’s an Australian podcast built for young women who want that real stuff. Built entirely on the belief that an informed girl is a protected girl. Evidence-based. Honest. One hundred percent judgment free, because trust me, you wouldn’t believe half of what we have actually been through to get here.
No topic too big, no question too awkward.
