POPSThe Story Of Ohh! "How can our world be functional and Darwinian if the site of our orgasm is divorced from the place of intercourse? Why do females orgasm?? Three theories have been put forth. The whole article is quite an interesting read and well worth a gander! *whispering* For some reason, I think we should hide this clip from {{debbyski}}. The topic might just send her into overdrive. Shhh. :lol:

POPSTwo doctors in Saudi Arabia want to change cultural attitudes to female genital mutilation In Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Mali, for example, more than 80% of women have undergone FGM. Typically, the procedure is carried out by a Daya (an elderly female birth attendant) when a baby girl is a few days old, but it can be done at any time during childhood, adolescence, before marriage or during a first pregnancy. The scope of the operation – which is often carried out in non-sterile conditions using household implements – can vary considerably from removing the clitoris to cutting away all of the woman's external genitalia before stitching the wound back together leaving only a tiny hole for menstruation and urination." yes it still exists.

POPSYes, there really are gay animals From Salon magazine, 1999. Research into "alternative sexual behavior" among animals. Apparently, it's much more prevalent than you might think. So much for homosexuality being "unnatural."

POPSFemale genital mu.tilation banned in Eritrea Too bad it is not enforced fully. It is one of the cultural traditions that I wish would just go away. It's is not fair to the poor girls that must endure this horrific procedure. Kudos to them for banning it. Hope it helps the girls/women.

POPSFight against female circumcision This is female castration. "The gynaecologist says comparing female and male circumcision is like the difference between clipping a nail and cutting the whole finger off."

POPSAny Interest in SEX? Or TITillation? Q.1 How has sex research evolved over the past several decades and how has sexual understanding changed as a result? Q.2 Much of the first few chapters are about the female orgasm and the persistent myth of the vaginal orgasm. Does the myth still persist? Do men still cling to it? Q.3 What about the G-Spot or as you say "that other erogenous zone?" Is there research about that, and what should the lovers of women know about it? Q.4 You state that erections are all about blood and that impotence has moved from the realm of the psychological to the physical. What is your take on the psychological vs. the physical in terms of sexual dysfunction? Q.5 The belt and suspenders approach. Q.6 There's a new study out that suggests that sex takes from 3 to 13 minutes. It treats sex pretty mechanically. Of course 3 to 13 minutes is a lot longer than some monkeys take time to orgasm Many more questions and all the answers at source.

POPSThe Science Of The Orgasm "But today, a few scientists are making real progress -- in part because they're changing their focus. To uncover the orgasm's secrets, researchers are looking beyond the clitoris, vagina, penis and prostate, to the place behind the scenes where the true magic happens. They're examining the central nervous system: the network of electrical impulses that zip to and fro through the brain and spinal cord."

POPSThe Clitoris: the little man in a woman's head What a turn on. <<<Electrical clitoral stimulation produced significant activations predominantly in bilaterally prefrontal areas (BA 6, 8 and 45), the precentral, parietal and postcentral gyri, including S1 (BA 2 and 3; 40–70% probability) and S2 (BA 43 and ventral BA 40, 30–60% probability). In addition, distributed activations were also seen in the anterior and posterior parts of the insula and the putamen.>>>

POPSHistory of female circumcision in the United States Their approach to clitoral surgery, at least as revealed in published medical works, was a cautious one that respected the importance of clitoral stimulation for healthy sexuality while simultaneously recognizing its role as cause and symptom in cases of insanity that were tied to masturbation.

POPSMen, moreover, are virtually assured orgasmic climaxes, but more often than not, the male mechanism Men, moreover, are virtually assured orgasmic climaxes, but more often than not, the male mechanism is far too swift and efficient to give a female partner even a slender chance of a "classic", penetration-induced orgasm. As a result of the clitoris being sited in the wrong place to be adequately stimulated by straight reproductive intercourse, orgasm for women is nearly always produced by a masturbatory mechanism. But as if to compensate for this rather unfair-seeming physical mismatch,nature has intriguingly made the female orgasm produced by masturbation far and away the more intense.
