Reviews
âYour show was very moving. I lost both my parents from critical illness recently. I was touched. How you bring people back and forth from laugh to tear to thinking and reflecting deeply then to laugh again đđť On a more philosophical angle, your show is a brilliant demonstration of a duality of Eros and Thanatos. What makes us human. Strong and Vulnerable at the same time. Thank you very much.â â Moon O, 25 Sept 2024
âBravo, Martha Tara Lee, for your first one-woman show, Orgasmic AF! Funny, emo, sexy and sexpletiveâitâs all these and then some.â â Felix Cheong, award-winning multiple book author, 25 Sept 2024
âCongratulations for a masterful performance last night. Your ability to create an educational cum standup comedy event is exceptionally remarkable notwithstanding the fact that this is your very first attempt to do this. To make it informative yet funny and filled with âcleanâ sex jokes is a feat requiring great skill and a very nimble mind. As a producer and indeed the key performer you have now reached the highest benchmark possible. I extend this accolade to you unreservedly and am confident you will acquit yourself once again in your next upcoming performance. Great job! As the French say âEXtra-ordinairre. Le Magnifique Madam Docteur Martha Leeâ!â â Professor Dr Peter H C Lim., Dean Institute for Menâs Health (Singapore), 26 Sept 2024
âI had the pleasure of attending Dr Martha Tara Leeâs debut live showâa stand-up comedy with a twist. She shared personal stories, sprinkled with intimate details, while offering practical tips to improve your sex life. The show was a perfect mix of tears, laughter, and valuable insightsâtruly unique, refreshing, and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend catching the upcoming show.â â Ellil Mathiyan, 25 Sept 2024
âIâm glad I came and watch @drmarthaleeâs 1st Orgasmic AF show. The sex education was both hilarious and heartfelt. The performer needed no elaborate props â just her masterful storyelling to keep the audience hooked. With humor, kindness and humility, she navigated awkward topics, transforming moments of discomfort into powerful lessons. The show wasnât just about laughter; it explored deeper emotions like sadness and triumph, ultimately uplifting and empowering the audience. It was more than entertainment â it was a thoughful, uplifting journey that left everyone a little wiser.â â Laila White, 25 Sept 2024

About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree â a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. She is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore. Often cited in the media, Dr. Lee is the appointed Resident Sexologist for Singapore Cancer Society, and Ofnoah.sg and Ofzoey.com. She was recognised as one of âTop 50 Inspiring Women Under 40Ⲡby Her World in July 2010, and one of âTop 100 Inspiring Womenâ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
