Closing The Pleasure Gap & Reclaiming Women’s Sexual Health – Milica Jelenic
The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic – Diamond Host
For centuries, women’s sexual health has been sidelined, silenced, and misunderstood—reduced to reproduction while male sexual needs took center stage. In this episode of The Pleasure Zone, Milica Jelenic exposes the roots of the pleasure gap and shares the cultural, medical, and political shifts needed to reclaim women’s sexual health. From Victorian “hysteria” diagnoses to the fast-tracking of Viagra versus the decades-long wait for female libido treatments, we’ll uncover the biases, funding gaps, and taboos that have shaped the story of women’s sexual health—and explore how to change it.
In this episode we will look at:
*The Historical Roots of Neglect
*How women’s bodies became defined primarily by reproduction, not pleasure.
*The “male body as the default” problem in medical research.
*The Cultural Taboo Around Female Pleasure
*Why women’s sexual health conversations have been shamed or silenced.
*Double standards in how male vs. female sexual needs are treated.
*The Viagra Effect & the Research Gap
*How men’s sexual health drugs fast-tracked while women’s treatments stalled.
*Economic and market forces driving the imbalance.
*The Modern Movement to Reclaim Pleasure
*Grassroots activism, social media, and the rise of menopause & perimenopause visibility.
*How to advocate for your sexual health in the doctor’s office—and beyond.

Milica Jelenic is a Sex & Intimacy Coach. What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease?
We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence.
What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure???
