  • Multiple Orgasmen

    05/06/2020

    Wie viele Orgasmen wünscht sich eine Frau? Einen? Zwei? Drei? Oder 12?! Isa und Maya gehen dieser Frage heute auf den Grund. Ist mehr wirklich mehr, oder finden es Frauen vielleicht sogar anstrengend und schmerzhaft, wenn der Macker versucht, sie zu immer neuen Orgasmen zu bringen? Für euch haben die beiden nicht nur sehr aufschlussreiche Orgasmus-Typisierungen recherchiert, die vor allem für Isa Life-Changing waren, sondern auchfünf Tipps zusammengetragen, die Frauen dabei helfen, multiple Orgasmen zu erleben. Und auch für die Männerwelt haben sich die beiden informiert und erklären, wie auch Männer mehrfach zum Höhepunkt kommen können. Da das aber ein Mann viel besser kann, hört ihr in dieser Folge im "Oh, Baby!"-Social Share unter anderem einen Erfahrungsbericht eines Mannes, der multiple Orgasmen für sich entdeckt hat und genau erklärt, worauf es ankommt, was geil ist – und was er lieber nicht tut. Es geht um typische Stecher, die erst aufhören, wenn die Frau wund und geschwollen ist und mindestens 7 Orgasmen hatte, um hypersensible Körperteile und viele, viele, teils verstörende Zahlen. --- Aktuell sind wir auf der Suche nach euren Geschichten, Gedanken und Meinungen zum Thema "After-Sex-Rituale": Seid ihr wie diese verrückte Alte im Kultfilm "Verrückt nach Mary", die sich nach jedem guten Fick erst mal n fettes Schokoeis reinzieht, oder is es bei euch ganz klassisch… die Zigarette danach? Haben eure Partner vielleicht Rituale, die ihr super weird findet und euch nur denkt: was… tust… du … da und wie komm ich hier raus?! Erzählt es uns per Voice, oder textet es uns per Whatsapp an das "Oh, Baby!"-Handy: 0176-34401664

Episode Description

In this brand new interview with the artist and author Dawn Woolley, we discuss her brand new book Consuming the body: Capitalism, Social Media and Commodification published by Bloomsbury on 6 Oct 2022. The book is a sociological study of contemporary consumerism and the commodified construction of ideal gendered bodies, paying particular attention to the new forms of interaction produced by social networking sites. In short, there’s a lot of analysis of the phenomenon of the selfie.

The book describes the behaviours of an ideal neoliberal subject, that is, the type of person produced by the current form of capitalism – the kind of capitalism that promotes competitive individualism and defines human worth in solely economic terms. In this context, Woolley identifies the sadistic demands the market makes of us, which is how we are transformed into self-disciplining subjects, but importantly, she also highlights forms of pleasure and opportunities for subversion. 


Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show.

Dawn Woolley is an artist and academic whose work examines representations of gender in adverts, magazines, on TV and online in order to appropriate their visual language and expose the stereotypes they reproduce. In 2017 Woolley's photograph The Substitute (holiday) was designated the world's best selfie by GQ magazine, after winning Saatchi gallery's from selfie to self-expression competition. Woolley is also a research fellow at Leeds Art University. The book launch event is Friday, 21 Oct, 5.30 - 7 pm at Leeds Art University or online, book here.
