Thread: The Female Orgasm

I still think CC's original explanation is the most logical. It's like scientists wondering why eating food is a pleasurable experience- because it ensures the perpetuation of the species by giving you fuel to survive. Endorphins are released in the brain whenever you do something that's basic for survival or procreation, so that you want to do more of it.

How is that pseudo-sciencey?

Our built-in instinct to reproduce is way beyond the level of orgasms. Even if we didn't have orgasms, we would still want to make babies. However, it does make some sense, what you can CC are saying.

Keep in mind that everything that happens in natural selection is not due to isolated factors. Everything factors into every change in the genome, and thus it is entirely possible that what you and CC are saying and what I'm saying both played a part in humans actually having the ability to experience an orgasm.

However, this doesn't have to suggest that it sprung out from female development. Maybe the glans/clitoris are so early developed, because they are very complex organs. This would mean though, that neither came first. They both came into existence at the same time.
