    It's hard for me, a 24 year old woman, to imagine what it was like to live in pre-1969 America and not really be able to talk about sex or access the knowledge of how to make sex more about the woman's pleasure.

    Personally, I think the greatest feminist revolution took place much earlier, when in the course of evolution human females developed the clitoris. After having spent most of the modern centuries thinking that sticking their penises into a woman's vagina was all it would take for women to experience sexual pleasure, men discovering that female orgasms mostly came from the clitoris (which has no reproductive function) must have been like God popping out from underneath the covers and saying "Gotcha!"

    @LikeALady:the female orgasm, contrary to your hypothesis, is extremely important to conception and reproduction. Orgasm dramatically increases the likelihood of conception (drawing semen towards the uterus, among other things), and the neurochemical reactions lead to bonding between the woman and her mate (encouraging repeat performance).

    @Vancougar: no, it's no, as I already explained. It's integral to the female orgasm, and the orgasm has an integral component in reproductive function. Saying it has no reproductive function is like saying the female orgasm has no reproductive function. Statistically, of the women who orgasm during sex, almost all of them require some clitoral contact (including indirect, e.g. through the interior wall).

    @mattharvest: I'm pretty sure the point was that it isn't intrinsically biologically linked to reproductive function. Women don't *have* to have an orgasm to reproduce, although it's much more fun to do so.

    So, although its function is CONDUCIVE to orgasm, it's not a part of the reproductive system. Kind of like how, for instance, taking prenatal vitamins can HELP you conceive, but they are neither necessary nor sufficient for reproduction (and usually have benefits aside from helping conception).

    @LikeALady: how important female orgasm is to conception is a debatable topic, but I was focusing more on the old (and unfortunately still present) assumption that p-i-v sex was all that was necessary for a woman to orgasm (and if you couldn't you were therefore frigid or defective) and thus the realization that the clitoris, which is outside the vagina, is the biggest tool for female orgasm was a huge blow to the proponents of the 'women aren't sexual beings their only purpose is to breed' belief.

    @mattharvest: I think what people are saying is that while it may *assist* conception, the female orgasm is completely unnecessary in order for reproduction to take place. Conception may occur with or without female orgasm, thus making it unnecessary for reproduction.

    I happen to think this makes female orgasm especially awesome, because then one of its primary functions is to give women pleasure!

    @MilointheMeadow: The so-called "up-suck" hypothesis has been disproved. Female orgasms do not make conception any more (or less) likely from that instance of copulation. They may, however, make a female more likely to mate with the orgasm-inducing male again.

    One adaptationist theory holds that female orgasms require something in addition to p-in-v as a mechanism for females to test male investment. If he makes you come, he must care. Maybe he'll even care enough to help feed your children!

    does anyone else notice how most of the 'sex' programs (also, 'The History of Sex') on the history channel actually explore things like feminism and gender and race roles, like more than any other program on the channel?
    That was kind of a long-winded question, but I guess I find it interesting, for a few different reasons. Anyway, I watched last night, and it was pretty interesting

    @NefariousNewt: I really like what she had to say on this clip. I feel alot of the time, I'm defending beauty queens on here and the time and place of pageantry. My grandmother viewed pageants as a way for women to get into college and fund their educations. In many ways it was subversive, I'm going to use you and your thoughts about me to get ahead because I have no other agency to do so. Also, I kind of liked being in pageants. I got to preform.

    Too bad so few men watch this show... it probably would be an eye opener to many that women have trouble getting off to regular intercourse. Women don't really help their cause though by faking orgasm, feeling that it is not necessary in their relationship, or that it is not an appropriate topic for the public sphere.

    @swimmingly: Heh, according to the episode of "The Cho Show" that featured her G-shot, Cho got it because a homeless woman told her that she had "the devil" in her vagina, and she thought the injection would bring an end to her haunted genitals.

    I had predicted that Cho would go off on Elisabeth Hasselbeck about gay marriage and make her cry. Instead, she mimed oral sex to Barbara Walters. It's like when they don't have your favorite drink at the bar but you get something that gets you just as drunk.

    You know that Barbara is down with this.

    In Kathy Griffin's stand-up routine, she said she tried to rile things up by asking Barbara Walters about KY Jelly. Barbara had replied that she uses Astroglide. Rosie O'Donnell also confirmed that Babs once recommended Astroglide to her!

    @girl.of.your.dreams: I got a piercing there... was way over hyped. Didn't really hurt at all to get it, but also didn't help any with increased excitement downstairs either.

    Only thing it was really good for was my own amusement when someone new happened upon it in surprise.
