198: Smart Sex Toys & Sexually Liberating Women w/ Anna Lee

Author: Aileen Xu September 4, 2022 Duration: 1:05:39
Female sexuality is widely misunderstood, under-researched, and, for many women, a source of great frustration and shame. Anna Lee works tirelessly to create the change we so desperately need. From busting misogynistic myths to helping women in their 70s experience their first orgasm, Anna uses tech engineering to close the orgasm gap. Through data, she bypasses shame and empowers women in their sexuality. After all, “knowledge is pleasure.”

Anna Lee is the co-founder and engineer of Lioness, the world’s first and only smart vibrator that improves understanding of sexual pleasure and orgasms through biofeedback data and science. She's been recently named Forbes 30 Under 30 alum as well as Paper Magazine’s Asian Women Creators You Need to Know and Buzzfeed’s 14 Sex Tech Founders Who Are Changing The Way The World Thinks About Sex. She is a big advocate of Lioness’ mission to expand understanding and research in sexual health, and destigmatize female sexuality.
