Description

Emily (She/Her) is an entrepreneur who has always been passionate about creating catalysts that spark human connection. While developing Ohnut — a set of buffer rings created to reduce pain and increase pleasure during penetrative sex — she also co-founded the Lady Bits League, the Pain Perception Project, and Pelvic Gym to connect people from all over the pelvic health world through education and story.  

Emily has redefined her life as a proud entrepreneur, maker, community leader, and patient advocate.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

• Emily’s personal experience with painful sex and her decade long journey to finding a solution (creating her own)
• What is the pelvic floor?
• What is painful penetrative sex?
• The lack of data and understanding of female pelvic anatomy 
• Tension or overactivity of the pelvic floor 
• Creating a wearable for penis-owners that controlled depth of penetration
• Giving herself and others permission to speak about painful sex 
• Her journey to learn as much as possible about female sexual health and sexual medicine
