Liz Canner elaborates on her investigation into the propagation of female sexual dysfunction, disease mongering, and her documentary, Orgasm Inc. Here, she blows the lid off the pharmaceutical industry's dubious branding strategies, and questions whether a condition that applies to a significant proportion of the population can be described as an illness.
