Female orgasm all in the genes
As one study ponders evolutionary reasons for some women's difficulty reaching climax, another draws a map of modern romance

Women who fail to orgasm during sex may be genetically programmed to weed out unreliable men who are a flop between the sheets, according to new research. Scientists who have studied the ability of thousands of women to climax say it is largely written in their genes - the most compelling evidence so far that the female orgasm has a biological role.
The findings suggest the failure of some women to orgasm regularly is not a dysfunction, but a sophisticated mate-selection strategy that evolved during prehistoric times.
Tim Spector of St Thomas's hospital in London, who led the research, said: "The theory is that the orgasm is an evolutionary way of seeing if men can prove themselves to be likely good providers or dependable, patient and caring enough to look after the kids."
Women who orgasm very easily may be more likely to be satisfied with poor quality men.
"Perhaps women who had orgasms too easily weren't very good selectors," Professor Spector said. "It paid women to be more fussy and this is one way of doing it. The simple fact is that it takes women on average 12 minutes and men two and a half minutes to reach orgasm. Adjusting to that imbalance is a test."
His team used a national register of twins to ask 4,037 women, aged 19 to 83, about their sex lives and to compare their DNA.
the article goes on to site the specifics of the study and you can read the rest here..http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/science/story/0,12996,1501314,00.html....but the question i wan to ask is :

Have you found this to be true? that the perfect penis attached to a not so perfect fella, bonded you deeper then say a great guy who you were not as sexually compatible with? Lesbians please feel free to comment because the question is one that any woman who has an orgasm can answer.
Does good sex with the wrong person ...create a deeper pair bonding then not so good sex with the right person.
and ...
Have you, like the article seems to believe, had the cumulitive experiance, that because women take ten minutes longer to orgasm then men on average, that the sort of male willing to bridge that gap, demonstrates character traits that are desirable for child rearing and pair bonding. ie:strength, staying power, commitment, focus, integrity ect....
I know for me it does ring true:
also i started this out in polls but could not think of the questions to fill in the questionair...do you have any suggestions for some good polling questions related to this topic?
