Millions of women take SSRIs for anxiety and depression and many times no one tells about the sexual side effects, let alone that there's a solution. When it happened to a sex therapist and an OB-GYN themselves, they refused to accept "just add Wellbutrin" as the only answer. Dr. Laurie Mintz and Dr. Suzette Johnson join Dr. Rahman to share the deeply personal stories behind their new venture and why no woman should have to choose between her mental health and her sexual health.

What started as a friendship between "sisters from another mother" became a mission after both women personally experienced SSRI-induced orgasm dysfunction and discovered how well a compounded topical cream made with sildenafil and L-arginine worked for them. Now, in partnership with Mojo, they've launched something no one else is offering: the cream plus a short course covering the biological and psychological sides of orgasm dysfunction mindfulness, vibrators, erotica, and the science of why your body responds the way it does.

The conversation also dives deep into the orgasm gap: why women orgasm 22–33% less often than men in heterosexual encounters, what the research on bisexual women reveals about whose "fault" that really is (hint: it's not women's bodies), and the brand-new concept of the orgasm pursuit gap why women need to start actively pursuing their own pleasure without pressure.

This is midlife reinvention, medical advocacy, and orgasm equality all in one conversation.

Highlights:

• SSRIs are essential medication for many women but sexual side effects like muted or absent orgasm are real, common, and rarely disclosed at the time of prescribing.
• Most prescribers' only answer is "add Wellbutrin"—few know that a compounded topical cream (sildenafil + L-arginine) can restore blood flow, sensation, and orgasm for many women.
• New research identifies an orgasm pursuit gap heterosexual women largely don't pursue their own orgasm or expect their partners to.
• Pursuit is not pressure: women can actively seek the clitoral stimulation they need without turning orgasm into a performance demand.
• Sexuality does not expirewomen can and should stay sexually active at every age if they want to be.
