    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode we chat with Dr. Suelyn Hall, author of How To Get A-Head, Secrets to Male Sexual Pleasure From a Female Urologist. The book goes into more than just technique, as Dr. Hall looks at what drives male pleasure on every level, even considering how cultural norms, mental health, and our own history converge in the wonderful, sometimes chaotic mind-body dynamic. (Don't worry, we talk at length about female pleasure in this episode, too!) Dr. SueLyn Hall is a trailblazing urologist, author, and advocate for holistic wellness. Born and raised in Jamaica, Dr. Hall earned her medical degree from New York Medical College and is Board-certified by the American Board of Urology. As one of the first 50 female urologists in the United States, Dr. Hall has spent decades excelling in a male-dominated field.
