Well while my sex ed did talk about the cervix dip, here's another take: "By having a clitoral orgasm, a large amount of oxytocin is released. This hormone is not at all essential to conceive, but is needed to regulate hormone levels impaired by stress and/or the menstrual cycle. Oxytocin deficiency enhances stress, obesity and psychotic behavior, impairs cognitive functions and increases breast-cancer risk.
Clitoral orgasms do not serve conception, and are not obtained through sexual intercourse. Clitoral orgasms serve physical health, and pleasure, and are obtained through specific clitoric stimulus. Orgasms enhanced by intense sexual fantasies and a capable and compatible partner, increase oxytocin release the most." http://www.13.waisays.com/clitoral.htm Lucky women having the fun reset button. -Kevin On 5/30/05, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > More specifically if the act feels good then the organism does it more. > > So those organisms for which it feels best will do it more and over time > select and enhance that trait.
