Summary:
Researchers of human behavior 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 dimorphism and mutual sexual selection ● Balances sex research and real-world research and practical applications
