The Labour MP Jess Phillips says she wants to close the "orgasm gap" and one of the ways to do that is to start telling children about the female orgasm as part of sex education in school.
A report by the Kinsey Institute found that 95% of men say they almost always orgasm during sexual intimacy, as opposed to 65% of straight women.
In this discussion Kirsty Wark is joined by sex and relationships podcaster Oloni and Katie Ivens, the vice chair of Campaign for Real Education

The Saudi journalist was killed in the Kingdom's embassy in Istanbul on 2 October.
He had gone to the consulate to obtain documents proving he was divorced from his ex-wife.
Turkish officials have said the journalist was tortured and killed on the consulate premises and that his body was then removed.
They say they have audio and video evidence to support this claim.
Saudi Arabia initially denied any knowledge of Mr Khashoggi's fate, but later said he had been murdered in a "rogue operation".

When Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - the former leader of far-right group the EDL, was jailed for contempt of court, a petition for his release attracted more than half a million signatures.
No longer involved with the English Defence League, he has gathered support after campaigning against what he calls "Muslim grooming gangs," following now concluded court cases around England.
He has also campaigned in Italy, Germany and other European countries where anti Islam parties have made electoral gains.

He was tasked with fostering better relations between the US and Russia.
Newsnight had arranged an interview with Mr Seagal and we made clear during protracted negotiations with his representative that we hoped to discuss his role with the Russian state.
The actor has also found himself swept up by the metoo movement - having been accused earlier this year of sexual harassment and rape.
A potential prosecution against Mr Seagal for rape was dropped this month. He denies all the allegations.
Kirsty Wark asked Mr Seagal about all of this - and his new movie Attrition - when she spoke to him from Moscow. The interview didn't go very well. This edited version starts when Kirsty asked him about his work for Mr Putin.
