Ask How, Not Why

“The Case Of The Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution” by Elisabeth A. Lloyd, though primarily of scientific and academic interest, has attracted a much wider audience. Lloyd’s book, a survey of evolutionary theories that insist the female orgasm must serve some function, raises issues about female sexuality of interest to sociologists, feminists and curious women everywhere. Lloyd presents and critiques existing theories and concludes that none of them have satisfactorily proven an evolutionary function for the female orgasm but does not offer any original research or develop a theory of her own. The male orgasm is necessary for reproduction but the female orgasm is irrelevant to a woman’s ability to conceive. Women can become pregnant without orgasm, and sometimes, even without their consent and cooperation, yet the scientific community continues to insist that the female orgasm must serve some reproductive function. Lloyd does not explicitly analyze why American scientists have a vested interest in establishing that the female orgasm serve some biological function. Why, in the twenty-first century, is female sexuality still mysterious and threatening to science, to society, to men, to ourselves?

But these questions are too deep for a Sunday morning. Let’s concentrate on how before we ask why. She Comes First : The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman by Ian Kerner
