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."
"Perhaps women who had orgasms too easily may be more likely to be satisfied with poor quality men," 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."
Thirty-two percent of the women said they never or infrequently experienced an orgasm during sex, and 21 percent during masturbation. Only 14 percent said they always had an orgasm during sex. Genetic comparisons showed that 34 percent of the variation during intercourse was inherited. In the case of masturbation, 45 percent of the difference was down to genes.
Spector said that genes are probably the greatest single factor involved in whether women have an orgasm. One theory is that orgasms promote fertility. Studies have shown that women are slightly more likely to have an orgasm when they are ovulating. There is also evidence that the uptake of sperm is increased when a woman climaxes. But if this were the only explanation, all women would have orgasms.

WOMEN'S BRAINS SHUT DOWN DURING ORGASM
Orgasms Mind Altering for Women
Orgasm is literally a mind-blowing experience for a woman, scientists revealed today. Much of her brain shuts down when she reaches a sexual climax, including areas that deal with emotion.
Neuroscientist Dr Gert Holstege, from the University of Groningen, who led the research, said: “The main thing we saw in females is deactivation of the brain, which was unbelievable; really very pronounced.
“I think that’s the major outcome of the study. What you see is deactivation of large parts of the brain, especially the emotional brain, the fear centers.”
“Deactivation of these very important parts of the brain might be the most important necessity for having an orgasm,” said Dr Holstege. “When you are fearful or have a very high level of anxiety, then it’s hard to have sex because during sex you really have to give of yourself and let go.”
Survey Shows Sex Toys Best for Orgasms
IT'S OUT! SEX TOYS ARE #1!
A recent survey found that sex toys are the most reliable way for women to achieve orgasm.
The research revealed that out of the average 5 times a month female customers have sex, they only averaged one orgasm per month. When the same group used a sex toy they reported obtaining an orgasm almost every time.
The research also shows that almost all women surveyed have faked an orgasm, and surprisingly 10% of men have faked one too.
HOT HINTS FOR HOT SEX
LEAVE IT ON, LEAVE IT ON
Sex in the nude is great, but have you tried the excitement of doing it fully clothed? Possibilities include: fully dressed in business attire, beachwear, costumes from Halloween, thrift store clothes that you can eventually rip off your partner. Hint: choose loose fitting clothing — boxers, billowy blouses, stockings for women instead of pantyhose.
PRAISE OF ORAL SEX
Sometimes it can get lonely giving oral sex. Give you're your partner feedback: moan, groan, wiggle, talk dirty, use touch, scratch their back, beg for more, run your hands through your partners hair. Let them know you LOVE it!
