Female Orgasm Is In The Genes

[edbermac]

Who says women can't be figured out? British geneticists are hot on the trail of unraveling one the most puzzling mysteries since Xixo found a Coke bottle in the Kalahari-the female orgasm.

Involving 4037 twins, identical and fraternal, Professor Tim Spector of St. Thomas Hospital's Twin Research Unit in London, used questionnaires and DNA examination of the twins, aged 19 to 83.

As only identical twins share their genetic makeup, they provide an excellent map of purely inherited features.

The research suggests evidence that the female orgasm is an evolutionary tool for mate-selection. Women who have a difficult time achieving climax in bed may be weeding out bad lovers, therefore weeding out potentially poor long-term mates.

The other theory, which many are discounting, is that orgasm promotes fertility. But scientists are saying if that were the case, then women would achieve orgasm more often.

With the selection idea, women subtly select men based on the strength, their skill and prowess in bed, and their patience. Men, who typically only need two and a half minutes to climax, may receive a favorable judgment if they can wait for the average twelve minutes it takes the woman to climax.

The study said that only 14% of the women studied achieved orgasm every time, whereas 98% of men reach orgasm every time. Thirty-two percent of the women reported never or almost never experiencing an orgasm during intercourse

1. Very good conclusion suggesting that women ought to be as...

...promiscuous as possible:

"The research suggests evidence that the female orgasm is an evolutionary tool for mate-selection. Women who have a difficult time achieving climax in bed may be weeding out bad lovers, therefore weeding out potentially poor long-term mates."

The operative phrase is "weeding out bad lovers". That certainly explains a lot about women.

2. Was a man who came up with this theory?

Because what they are saying is that it's all in the genes, and therefore not the man's fault if the woman doesn't have an orgasm. And most of us gals know what a load of horses**t that is. :eyes:

7. Well, I don't know if I'd assign fault for lack of orgasms

I read a book (Radical Honesty by Dr. Brad Blanton) that suggests any person who can't achieve orgasm with his/her partner should take personal responsibility and bring toys to bed. :D I know I'd choose a bit of skill and patience over 2 1/2 minutes any day. How are you going to know if you don't try it out first? Heh.

3. How long does it take a women to reach orgasm?

Who cares. :rofl:

9. Why do women fake orgasm?

They think men care.

4. I read somewhere a few years ago that a woman's orgasm aids in conception.

The contractions help sperm on their long journey toward ovum.

Therefore, if a woman is with a man she "likes," she is more likely to conceive and pass on his desirable traits to her offspring.

(It also has the implication that humans were NOT monogamous over their long pre-history, pre-civilized existance. Perhaps that is why the theory has been conveniently been "forgotten.")

Anyway, it looks like we're back to the big "mystery" of female orgasm again, which shouldn't be such a mystery when you think about it.

5. The only mystery is from a man's viewpoint:

"you don't have a dick that shoots something, so how can it be an orgasm?" Lousy lovers who don't pay attention to that little button above their target obviously won't believe it exists. That's the mystery for them.

Oh, well.

6. I remember reading a long time ago

that the occurrence of an orgasm relates to the sex of the baby (don't remember which was which) but that it changed the pH and made it more hospitable to one or the other.

I think boys are more likely to be conceived in artificial insemination so that probably means girls happen when the woman has more fun......

8. The 32% of women that never orgasm

during intercourse should dump their republican boyfriends or husbands.
