A woman's genes might affect her ability to achieve orgasm, British researchers report.
They haven't found an "orgasm gene," and they don't dismiss other influences (such as cultural, social, and psychological traits). They also say they know they're wading into a "highly speculative and controversial" topic.
However, Kate Dunn of London's St. Thomas Hospital and colleagues say science has overlooked female sexuality for too long. "Until recently, little research has explored female sexual function, and yet women commonly report sexual dysfunction," they write in the journal's early online edition of Biology Letters.
The lack of scientific interest in the topic may stem from the previous consensus that the female orgasm plays no role in reproduction, they write. Recent research has challenged this concept, showing that orgasm plays a role in sperm retention.

Q: Why do women fake orgasms?
A: Because they think men care.
Uh, let's not bring up Lady MacHillary in a sexual context. Too disgusting.
AHHHHHHH Ping!
While the ability to fake it apparently only requires twin X chromosomes. Meanwhile, still no cure for cancer.
