“Puppo is ignorant of, or dismisses, published evidence showing that applying mild pressure to the clitoris, vagina, or cervix activates distinctly different regions of the sensory cortex,” said Barry R. Komisaruk, a distinguished professor of psychology at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey.
Women with spinal injuries who have no sensation of the clitoris can still feel sensation in the vagina and cervix, Komisaruk told Reuters Health in email.
The Puppos dispute peer-reviewed, published evidence without performing research to test or refute that evidence, he said.
“Obviously women do have vaginal orgasms,” Kilchevsky said. “I don’t think the media or anyone else is leading females into believing they are experiencing something they are not.”
