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.

Ability to Orgasm May be Genetic: If your father never had an orgasm, chances are you won't either.
Someone posted this last night. I'm all out of ammo (pun intended)
Sorry, I couldn't resist...
In Woody Allen's movie, Sleeper, in the furture on Itlians can have orgazims naturally.
Thank God I am Italian.
LOL!
Amen to that!
Well, duh. All the men that couldn't, failed to reproduce!
The female orgasm is a myth, isn't it?
Noooo not about, I just wanna hear orgasms
Reminds me of Jane Fonda strapped in the "Orgasmatron" in Barbarella. Her one worthy contribution to popular culture.
Not even firin' at all today! ;o)
Well sure. Scientists are dorks. The rest of us haven't overlooked female sexuality though.
Genetics of the woman...whatever!! I would assume it would be the genetics of the man that allows a woman to orgasm...I hated my first husband...his "genetics" didn't do a thing for me. Have to say though, the genetics of my spouse now...Ka-ching!!!!!!! :o)
Huh, at least women only fake orgasms - men fake whole relationships.
Wasn't Wood Yee in the orgasmatron in Sleeper?
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
LOL
