Dr. Rubin at Planned Parenthood DC’s “I Like It” Event

“Nobody taught us about the clitoris in medical school, and doctors rarely ask women if they can orgasm…but they should!”

That’s what our very own Dr. Rachel Rubin told the audience at a local Planned Parenthood “I Like It” a fundraising event held at George Washington University earlier this year. 

The discussion followed a screening of “The Female Orgasm,” an episode of the Netflix Original Series Explained. Dr. Rubin, joined on the panel by a sex therapist and sex educators, discussed the “orgasm gap,” what happens to the body during female orgasm, and ways to talk about what feels good. You can watch highlights of the discussion here.

Dr. Rubin is a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in sexual medicine. She believes in a multidisciplinary and individualized approach to care for men, women, and couples, with the first step being an in-depth consultation with enough time to truly understand her patients’ concerns.
