The Case Of The Female Orgasm

Why women evolved to have orgasms--when most of their primate relatives don't--is a persistent mystery among evolutionary biologists. In pursuing this mystery, Elisabeth Lloyd arrives at another: How could anything as inadequate as the evolutionary explanations of the female orgasm have passed muster as science? A judicious and revealing look at all twenty evolutionary accounts of the trait of human female orgasm, Lloyd's book is at the same time a case study of how certain biases steer science astray. Over the past fifteen years, the effect of sexist or male-centered approaches to science has been hotly debated. Drawing especially on data from nonhuman primates and human sexology over eighty years, Lloyd shows what damage such bias does in the study of female orgasm. She also exposes a second pernicious form of bias that permeates the literature on female orgasms: a bias toward adaptationism. Here Lloyd's critique comes alive, demonstrating how most of the evolutionary accounts either are in conflict with, or lack, certain types of evidence necessary to make their cases--how they simply assume that female orgasm must exist because it helped females in the past reproduce. As she weighs the evidence, Lloyd takes on nearly everyone who has written on the subject: evolutionists, animal behaviorists, and feminists alike. Her clearly and cogently written book is at once a convincing case study of bias in science and a sweeping summary and analysis of what is known about the evolution of the intriguing trait of female orgasm.

The author explores hysteria in Western medicine throughout the ages and examines the characterization of female sexuality as a disease requiring treatment. Medical authorities, she writes, were able to defend and justify the clinical production of orgasm in women as necessary to maintain the dominant view of sexuality, which defined sex as penetration to male orgasm - a practice that consistently fails to produce orgasm in a majority of the female population. This male-centered definition of satisfying and healthy coitus shaped not only the development of concepts of female sexual pathology but also the instrumentation designed to cope with them.

About 7 years ago, the love of my life dumped me because I "wasn't satisfying her in bed." Naturally, my ego was crushed and I went into a severe depression for a few months. But eventually when I finally got over my depression, I knew that I had to figure this whole "female orgasm" thing out. I didn't want to live the rest of my life not being able to make a woman orgasm. So, I began my search. The books that I found offered the same regurgitated information on where the clitoris is located, and the best positions to stimulate it. And as much as you'd think that information would help, it didn't get me the results I was looking for. I couldn't make my partner - whoever she was - consistently orgasm. To say my "orgasm ratio" was 10% - making her cum 1 out of 10 times - would be generous. So, I did what I thought was the next best thing. I went to my best girlfriend at the time and asked her if she would let me interview her about her orgasmic process. Thankfully, she did. And she liked my questions so much that she referred me to her friends, who referred me to their friends, who referred me to their friends, so on. Within 9 months, I had over 360 interviews... and I had completely changed in the process. I spent the next 6 years practicing the things I had learned from those interviews... and a few more things that I learned along the way. And now..? More than 90% of the time, I can make my lover orgasm. If we're dating, 100% of the time. Here's what I learned: 1) As long as you understand the sexual philosophy of the woman you're about to undress, you'll know how to treat her through the process (Soft, Hard, Combinations) 2) The only way you can truly understand her sexual philosophy is by asking the right questions and mastering the art of sexual communication. 3) Then you must own your role in the sexual process. Especially when playing the role of the leader. If you are to lead her to her orgasm, you must feel confident in not just your sexual abilities, but yourself as a whole. 4) Once you have the above 3 handled, you then use the key positions with the right rhythms to bring her to an intense - whole body - orgasm... whether or not clitoral stimulation is involved. Within the book, "The Real Orgasm" you will see the detailed breakdowns of the sexual philosophies I encountered throughout my interviews and the types of sexual personalities those women had. You will also learn the questions I asked to learn everything that I learned from those women. And in case you're wondering... yes, I did sleep with a few of the women that I interviewed. I'm not saying it to boast... well, maybe a little... but I'm mainly saying it because these questions work. They let her know that you're interested in HER... and if you actually pay attention, you'll learn EVERYTHING you need to know to make her cum like a geyser. You will also learn the best strategies and tactics that thousands of men use - including myself - to build an inner core of confidence, dominance, and seduction. This is not about being an overbearing asshole. It's about owning your place as the leader and feeling comfortable there. And finally... you will learn the key positions that virtually guarantee orgasm, as well as, my secret hacks for developing the best sexual rhythm for repetitive orgasms. This information truly transformed my life... The simple fact that I know all of this gives me the type of confidence that most guys would kill for. Not conceit. Confidence. The kind of stuff that "dime pieces" notice. The kind of stuff that gets their panties wet before any physical contact is made. And when we end up in the bedroom, everything flows so smoothly and most importantly. I'm in control of myself the whole time and therefore, can comfortably control the situation. My partner orgasms over and over and OVER again... and most importantly... ...it's all so very sexy.
