More about the Female O

The race to find a drug to help women orgasm has spawned a number of studies on the ever-elusive female O of late, and the BBC is reporting on another.

This study — which focused on twins, both identical and non — has found that genetics may well have something to do with women being able to orgasm:

"Overall, orgasm frequency was higher for the identical female twins than the non-identical female twins, which the researchers said suggested there must be some genetic component."

Also discussed is the idea that the female orgasm is some kind of mate-selection tool; if he sticks around long enough to get me there, he'll probably stick around to raise the kids too!
This logic seems a little flawed, but maybe it applied in the days of our ancestors.

Such a mystery, this female orgasm. Read the story here.
