The stories we tell about sex—and why they matter | Emily Morehead | TEDxTWU
Pleasure is political. And yet, when we talk about sex education, pleasure is the missing piece—especially for vulva owners. The orgasm gap, is vast and isn’t just a bedroom issue; it’s a deeply embedded cultural and educational failure that begins in childhood.In this research founded thought-provoking talk, Emily Morehead, MA, LPC-S therapist, sexological researcher and TWU educator, unpacks how early messages about bodies, desire, and shame set the stage for inequitable sexual experiences. Through research, real-world clinical case application, and a call for a revolution in sex education, we’ll explore through spoken word, how shifting the conversation—from mechanics to mutual pleasure—can empower future generations to experience consensual, safe and pleasurable intimacy on equal ground.
This talk isn’t just about orgasms—it’s about dismantling systemic inequality, one conversation at a time. Emily Morehead is a therapist, researcher, and unapologetic advocate for pleasure as a human right. As co-owner of The Couch Therapy, a thriving group psychotherapy practice in Texas, Emily clinically supports individuals and couples navigating everything from reproductive grief to relational reconnection. With over a decade of clinical experience, Emily blends her expertise as a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with bold sexological research and a sharp eye for systemic injustice. Currently completing her PhD at TWU, Emily’s research explores the intersections of sexuality, maternal identity, grief, and pleasure—challenging the silence that still surrounds female bodies and orgasm equity.Emily's voice is known for blending spunk, science, and soul. Whether she’s teaching future clinicians, guiding students, or uncovering the richness of human stories through qualitative research, Emily holds one core belief:education is power and sharing it transforms lives.
