The Science of the Female Orgasm

 We are digging back into the science of sex. This is coming from a strictly scientific model, so the actual physiology of gender, not how you identify.  The female orgasm requires both psychic and local stimuli. Their thinking leads to desire, rather than a male you just show them an ass or whatever they are into.  The female Sex drive is proportionate to the level of sex hormones secreted. Their desire changes during the monthly cycle peaking during times closer to ovulation due to high levels of estrogen. Physical stimulation required is similar to males in that it requires Massage and other stimulation to the vulva, vagina, and other perineal organs that can create sexual sensations. The glans of the clitoris are especially sensitive. Transmit to Sacral segments of the spinal cord via the Pudendal nerve and Sacral Plexus They are transmitted from the spinal cord to the cerebrum. The frontal area is responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functioning. This initiates and coordinates voluntary activity in the body. Local reflexes integrated into the sacral and lumbar spinal cord are partly responsible for some reactions in female sex organs.

The female erectile tissue located around the introitus and extending into the clitoris is almost identical to the male erectile tissue. Controlled by the Pudendal Nerve as it passes from the Sacral Plexus to the external genitalia. Parasympathetic Nervous System dilates arteries of erectile tissue and Releases Acetylcholine, Nitrous Oxide, and Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide to the nerve endings.

Introitus (Vaginal opening) tightens around the penis for ejaculation. The parasympathetic nerve signal passes to bilateral Bartholin Glands & Skene’s Glands. Bartholin is located beneath the labia minora, posteriorly. This explains how some women can orgasm from anal sex. Skene’s glands are located anteriorly at the entrance causing them to secrete mucus immediately into the introitus This also causes lubrication during intercourse along with mucus from the vaginal epithelium. I am sure most of you know that if no lubrication is present there is irritation provoked by dry vagina. Optimal stimulation evokes appropriate reflexes that culminate in both partners climaxing. When supported by psychic conditioning signals from cerebrum reflexes are engaged to trigger orgasm.

During orgasm, Perineal muscles contract rhythmically not unlike the spinal cord reflexes that cause male ejaculation. Impulses increase uterine and fallopian tube motility to help transport sperm upwards through the uterus to the ovum. Orgasm seems to cause dilation of the cervical canal for up to 30 minutes this allows for easy transport of sperm. Oxytocin is released during orgasm to induce “bonding” sensation. 

Now that we have fully explored the science end we will look at the bigger picture in the next installment. Feel free to contact us regarding any pertinent questions..
