- 29 Oct 2024 – Review by The Wellness Insider “What I appreciated most about the show was Dr Martha’s ability to distil valuable information into bite-sized, practical tips. She gave us fascinating fun facts about the body and sexuality, and the way she communicated these ideas—with props in hand—made them easier to grasp and remember. She also shared some of her experiences with her clients, and how she used humour and affirmation to help them overcome their issues.” – The Wellness Insider
- 20 Oct 2024 – Review Orgasmic AF: Confessions of a Sexologist “But what makes this show so endearing, is that she does it with humour, heart and a dash of “no-filter” storytelling. A celebration of sexual liberation and empowerment, Orgasmic AF is a delightful mix of insightful confessions, laugh-out-loud moments, thoughtful life lessons and some audience participation.” – Australian Arts Review
- 16 October 2024 – Review: Orgasmic AF at Motley Bauhaus “Orgasmic AF contains music, dancing, audience interaction, QnAs, modest demonstrations, and many personal anecdotes. Dr Lee has an empathetic personality which allows the audience to open up in a room full of strangers about topics that, for many of us, are taboo. There is an infectious element to her enthusiasm for the topic and it would be quite easy to sit through much more than an hour simply to hear more of the stories the doctor has to tell. The show is augmented by the use of props, minor costume changes, and catchy music. Despite sometimes delving deep into the topic, it is a fast-paced show and the hour passes very quickly.” — Theatre Travels, 16 October 2024

What makes us human. Strong and Vulnerable at the same time. Thank you very much.” – Moon O, 25 Sept 2024
“Bravo, Martha Tara Lee, for your first one-woman show, Orgasmic AF! Funny, emo, sexy and sexpletive–it’s all these and then some.” – Felix Cheong, award-winning multiple book author, 25 Sept 2024
“Congratulations 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 “clean” 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 “EXtra-ordinairre. Le Magnifique Madam Docteur Martha Lee”!” – Professor Dr Peter H C Lim., Dean Institute for Men’s Health (Singapore), 26 Sept 2024
“I had the pleasure of attending Dr Martha Tara Lee’s debut live show—a 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 insights—truly unique, refreshing, and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend catching the upcoming show.” – Ellil Mathiyan, 25 Sept 2024
“I’m glad I came and watch @drmarthalee’s 1st Orgasmic AF show. The sex education was both hilarious and heartfelt. The performer needed no elaborate props – 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 wasn’t just about laughter; it explored deeper emotions like sadness and triumph, ultimately uplifting and empowering the audience. It was more than entertainment – it was a thoughful, uplifting journey that left everyone a little wiser.” – 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 – 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 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.
