Genes Determine Women's Ability To Have Orgasm, Study Shows

[matcom]

LONDON -- New research suggests that a woman's ability to achieve sexual climax is at least partly determined by her genes and can't be blamed entirely on cultural influences.

Scientists from St. Thomas' Hospital in London sent questionnaires to about 4,000 women who are part of the British twin registry. About half of them were identical twins and half were non-identical twins.

Researchers said the questionnaires revealed a significant genetic influence on the ability to reach orgasm.

Specialists said the findings don't mean women who inherit an unfortunate gene package are doomed. They just mean that more work, or patience, is required.

The study was reported this week in Biology Letters, a journal of the Royal Society, Britain's independent academy of science.

1. I think there's something to this.

I wonder if it has to do with just how a person's vascular system is perhaps. :shrug:
I have had friends that say they have never had one and I'll say "try X" or something and they say nothing works. It seems even more that just not being able to relax or having a partner that doesn't know what they're doing. On the other hand, some women have been known to have up to 5 in a 10-15 minute period. I know what gene-pool I'd want. :7

2. AND

it's not the man's fault: grit your teeth, strain, & hurry up, ladies!

3. Clearly, these scientists are men, trying to put the blame on

the woman, once again. :eyes:


:P



























(you do know, I'm not at all serious - so don't even try it)

6. I would never want to be a guy.

Way too limiting. ;)

7. True, but appaarently more reliable.

8. Never had any reliability issues here...

:P

I have absolutely nothing to say here.
