LONDON -- A woman's ability to have an orgasm is at least partly determined by her genes and can't be blamed entirely on cultural influences, new research suggests. Experts say that's likely to be interpreted as both good and bad news.
"It'll be upsetting because some women will think, 'Oh my God, maybe I just can't.' On the other hand it takes away a kind of guilt or pressure," said Dr. Virginia Sadock, director of the human sexuality program at New York University Medical Center.
Either way, specialists say 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 main benefit of discovering the genetic elements of sexual function, experts say, is to help scientists find better treatments for sexual problems. The study was reported this week in Biology Letters, a journal of the Royal Society, Britain's independent academy of science.

That brings to mind another candidate, code named Maxine... but as I said, "... there's no scientific way to know."
That's "Outlandish"!
;-)
YIKES!
Have you two met?
Who me?
I'm staying in more trouble than I know what to do with.
; )
LOL you stinker! I had a big, "oh my gosh" moment when I read his name on this thread after I posted. I was hoping no one would notice! :-p Sorry, Bob!
Insert random cocky comment about mine and my wife's sex life....
lol
Good to hear.
When you get in trouble, ya know you're doin' somethin' right.
Makes life a bit more exciting.
heh heh heh
I just hope that Jim doesn't figure out that I'm trying to run a match-making service out of the basement of his business.
The word got twisted round a bit, and so it came out bird,
But we were very language poor and needed our new word.
The job of giving names to things was one for senior folk,
And I was so much younger then, they took it as a joke.
But still the word got out and I got better known,
And in a way because of it, I got one of my own.
They gave me tufts of feathers, and tied them in a knot,
A rumper-sticker that said Bird-On-Board was something else I got.
After a while just B-O-B was stuck upon my rear,
And when I left somewhere they said BOB has been here.
(From "Before There Was Dirt" on my About Page...
I always read the "about" page on people who make me think, or piss me off, or raise my eyebrow, or whatever...
You must have made me think.....
;-)
Maxine?
If you meant Jeans, don't bet the farm on that! (8^D)
"...the findings don't mean women who inherit an unfortunate gene package are doomed."
(Speak for yourself, Doc!)
Gotcha!
I always had to get their jeans off first...but...now that I think about it...there was Amy E. and she....oh...nevermind!

Thanks Mom & Dad.....
I guess my in-laws did something right, after all.
