In this powerful episode, Gillian Anderson opens up about what women really want; exploring the hidden world of female fantasy and the surprising truth about how little we’ve progressed when it comes to openly talking about desire. Drawing from thousands of anonymous submissions to her book, she reveals the shame, curiosity, and untapped honesty that still surrounds women’s inner lives.

Sex expert Cindy Gallop then takes the conversation one step further, sharing practical, empowering advice on how to actually ask for what you want in the bedroom, and just as importantly, how to express what you don’t. From navigating awkward conversations to turning communication into something genuinely exciting, she breaks down how owning your voice can transform not just your sex life, but your confidence everywhere else too.

Together, these moments explore desire, communication, and the power of knowing, and asking for, what you truly want.
