Hi! 👋🏼. Shout out to one of my first clinical psychology supervisors who asked me once (about a client, when I wasn’t out) ‘Is she gay? You just can’t tell these days you know Karen.’ 🤦🏻♀️🤣.

An important piece. I train medical professionals on vulval pain as well as running workshops for women to overcome pain in the NHS. It’s important to know that our interventions work. Do ask your GP for a referral and DONT accept ‘relax’/‘have a drink’
Seen a number of young men in clinic recently, in their 20s and very distressed by not managing erections with others the way they would like to. Feeling alot of pressure. Good that people are coming earlier for

EVENING! I'm so excited that MIND THE GAP publishes in TWO WEEKS - so to celebrate, I've got three advance proofs of Dr Karen Gurney's incredible, seminal book on female desire and the orgasm gap - to win one just follow me, retweet and also tag someone who NEEDS this book!!
