Researchers of human behavior have identified an orgasm gap Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are psychologically broken--Freud's theory--or badly designed--the by-product theory. However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors. This is revealed in their patterns of orgasmic response, which are neither random nor inexplicable.
