Reddit mentions of The Case of the Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution

I read this theory in a very interesting book on female orgasm.

The author describes how fetuses are undifferentiated in their development early in pregnancy. They have little nipples that grow into breasts (later in life) if the fetus is female, but become atrophied nipples in males. And they have a little tube structure between their legs that becomes a penis in the male, but becomes atrophied as a clitoris in the female. (This is a description of fetal development, not a judgement on female sexuality, BTW). So men have evolved to ejaculate, because the human race grinds to a halt without that. Female orgasm seems to be a bonus that is let over from this fluke of fetal development, but is totally unnecessary for reproduction. So there is very little evolutionary pressure for females to orgasm. Certainly it doesn't hurt. But females who orgasm reproduce at the same rate as those who don't. In the primate world females almost always, (as far as anyone can tell), orgasm from sex with other females, not males.

We as a society have developed this idea that all women have a the same capacity to orgasm the same way as men do. To argue against that is to suggest that females are somehow not equal. It's a new idea, as a little over a hundred years ago medical science didn't think female orgasm existed, so this idea may be a reaction to that past ignorance. But females don't orgasm the same way as males, and their sexuality is in no way inferior. Their ability to orgasm is all over the board and changes through life due to maturity and being in a safe relationships, hormones from birth control, a huge number of factors. But young women believe that something is wrong with them if they don't orgasm they way it is portrayed in Hollywood movies and porn. Real life is much more complicated than that.

So this is a long way of saying that you maybe measuring yourself to a standard that doesn't exist, and that as a young adult you are still developing and changing. You do orgasm with your partner. That's huge. You're doing something right.

This is a really big topic and, judging by your post history, you're probably just asking sarcastically or trolling.

Having said that, here's two resources that might be good for others to read here as well.

• Rosenthal's Human Sexuality textbook is a good overview for sexuality in general. The book I used in college was a "pre-print" loose-leaf version of this book, so it might have changed slightly since then. It's also pretty easy to find a PDF of this book, so, you know, might wanna google that noise.
  
• The Case of the Female Orgasm. Slightly more casual read, it explores a hotly contested question in evolutionary biology. The reason I'm recommending this one is that it covers quite a bit of ground and has a great bibliography that will point you in a good direction for pretty much whatever topic you'd like in this category.
