No subject is too taboo in eye-watering new show Sex Clinic
From fluid flowing from the vagina, to sex that lasts forever - no climax issue is taboo for The Sex Clinic
WHEN 20-year-old Iszy and her boyfriend have sex, the pleasure she experiences is even more intense because unlike most women, she ejaculates.
She's one of just a third of women who experience the phenomenon when she orgasms, which means fluid comes from her vagina.
Explaining the first time it happened, she says: “Literally it was completely random. Basically it wasn’t even noticeable as it happened, it was just after and we were like ‘what’s this massive puddle? Why is the bed wet?”
She shares details with the experts on E4 TV show The Sex Clinic on Tuesday night, and admits she's desperate to find out more about the little-spoken about taboo.
In fact, female ejaculation - which occurs when a fluid is released from the urethra - is such a contentious topic it's banned in UK porn.
This is because tests conducted on women who ejaculate have shown the fluid to be urine, and the British Board of Film Classification consider 'urolagnia' - sexual pleasure associated with urination – as obscene under the UK Obscene Publications Act.
Other studies have suggested the substance comes from Skene glands – tiny structures that drain into the urethra and are similar to the male prostate.
She says: "You look it up online and there's nothing about it anywhere and people just say it's taboo, or fake, and I'm like, clearly it's not."
'It's up like a rock - it goes on for hours'
The clinic also meets personal trainer and bodybuilder Jason, 27, who popped into the clinic to see sexual health adviser Kevin for what he refers to as ‘mental c**k block’.
In a shockingly frank section of program which many viewers will cover their ears for, the 27-year-old explains that even though he gets an erection, he struggles to climax after having a pint.
He said: “It causes me loads of problems with girls, because they’re like ‘you don’t find me attractive’.”
While he concedes most men would find the ability to last for hours an advantage, he explains the reality is actually very different.
He says: “It’s up like a rock. It will go on for hours. People think it’s great but it’s not."
'It's sending a panic alarm to your penis'
Seeking advice, Jason is told he is suffering from delayed ejaculation.
Kevin says: "It sounds like it's probably something psychological. There's probably been a time when you've had a pint and you've tried to have sex with somebody and it hasn't worked and what you've done is made a causal relationship between the two.
"You're pre-empting it and it's sending a panic alarm to your penis that's just like 'red alert'."
Describing his sexual preferences, Jason explains: “I quite like [being] rough...I like to feel in control, and feeling alpha. I describe my sex life as extreme.
"What do I look for in a sexual partner? A dirty b***h."
Expert Jess says: "You'd be amazed how much stress can affect sex - it's not just your body that's important during sex."
'You take the risk and hope for the best'
The clinic is also attended by several other patients, most of whom confess to having sex without protection, despite the fact super STIs that are resistant to treatment are on the rise.
Government figures show there were 420,000 STIs diagnosed in the UK last year, with a 20 per cent increase in syphilis cases and 22 per cent increase in gonorrhoea.
Single self-confessed ‘ladies man’, 27-year-old Jordan also attends the clinic, admitting to having unprotected sex after meeting girls on nights out, saying: "You take the risk, and hope for the best.”

The last time he had sex he didn’t use protection and while he's extremely confident he's 'clean' he's come for an STI test to make sure, after indulging in foursomes.
Explaining his sexual preferences, Jason says: “Vaginal, oral sex... I’ve done anal a couple of times. I’ve had a foursome. I was cracking jokes with my mate at the same time.”
Many of the patients admitted to having unprotected sex but, amazingly, most of the STI tests on the show came back clear, apart from one diagnosis of genital warts on pansexual 20-year-old Rylee.
