Ability to Orgasm May be Genetic
FOXNEWS.COM ^ | 08 June | By Miranda Hitti

A woman's genes might affect her ability to achieve orgasm, British researchers report.

They haven't found an "orgasm gene," and they don't dismiss other influences (such as cultural, social, and psychological traits). They also say they know they're wading into a "highly speculative and controversial" topic.

However, Kate Dunn of London's St. Thomas Hospital and colleagues say science has overlooked female sexuality for too long. "Until recently, little research has explored female sexual function, and yet women commonly report sexual dysfunction," they write in the journal's early online edition of Biology Letters.

The lack of scientific interest in the topic may stem from the previous consensus that the female orgasm plays no role in reproduction, they write. Recent research has challenged this concept, showing that orgasm plays a role in sperm retention.

Gentlemen, the key to a woman's orgasm is a man who uses his EARS.
