Orgasm Inc. is a new film that premiered at the Hot Docs Film Festival, Toronto, Ontario about the ongoing trend to medicalize female sexuality. As we’ve seen over and over, there’s a lot of money to be made by promising better sex. But a female equivalent of Viagra has yet to be developed. Instead, there are a multitude of companies promising to help women have “normal” sex lives. Ick.
Here’s a link to more info about the film and a trailer.
