Book Synopsis

Researchers 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.

Key Features

  • Synthesizes decades of peer-reviewed sex research in anatomy, biology, physiology, and behavior
  • Engagingly written based on feedback from students, peers, and interested lay persons
  • Makes sense of the orgasm gap between men and women
  • Provides a wider context of human sexual dim
