Mandy Mangler's 'Don't Miss the Clitoris' Explains the Orgasm Gap

Gynecologist Mandy Mangler, head of gynecology at Berlin's Vivantes Auguste-Viktoria-Klinikum, has published a book titled 'Don't Miss the Clitoris' that addresses the lack of knowledge about the clitoris and its role in female sexual pleasure. The book highlights a significant discrepancy: while 95% of men regularly reach orgasm during sex, only 65% of women do. Mangler argues that this 'orgasm gap' in heterosexual relationships is largely due to widespread ignorance about the clitoris, which is crucial for female sexual satisfaction. She points out that since 1844, misconceptions about female desire have persisted, and she aims to correct these inaccuracies. The book suggests that focusing on the clitoris could lead to a more equitable sex life and transform societal views on female sexuality. Mangler's insights are based on her medical expertise and are presented in an accessible manner for a general audience. The interview with Mangler appears in the German publication 'der Freitag'.
