Description
Book SynopsisResearchers of human behaviour have identified an orgasm gap: Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are psychologically broken - Freud's theory or badly designed the by-product theory. However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors. This is revealed in their patterns of orgasmic response, which are neither random nor inexplicable.
