Female orgasm: battleground of science?

Anatomical structures which were once named for their appearance are today named for their function, Komisaruk said. (Puppo) is simply replacing conceptual terms sexologists already accept, like “clitoral complex,”‘ with his own conceptual term “female penis,” he said.

“I absolutely see no reason to begin using the phrase “female penis” and am pretty certain most American women and men would agree,” given that men interested in women don’t want to talk about stimulating their partner’s penis, nor do most women want to think of themselves as having a penis, said Debra Herbenick, an associate research scientist at Indiana University Bloomington School of Public Health.

“We also have no evidence that all women can or do experience orgasm from any kind of stimulation, including direct clitoral stimulation,” she told Reuters Health by email. “Yes, most women can and do experience orgasm but most sexuality researchers and educators recognize the enormous variety of turn-ons, forms of physical stimulation, and types of sexual pleasure and orgasm that are an important part of women’s sexual experiences.”

The reality is there are multiple ways for women to have an orgasm and to say that the cause is always the same is not accurate, Kilchevsky said. “I think every woman should embrace what they feel works for them,” which won’t be the same for all the billions of women on the planet, he said.
