    A legacy of female genitalia research should warrant automatic legendary status, redeemable around the world.

    I can't quite get past there being a 'Journal of Sexual Medicine'. I keep wanting to wander off into the depths of Google and see if I can find a subscription.

    I repeatedly got nothing when I clicked the link. I support the masses recieving nothing and calling it news. It differs very little from the current standard.

    It is not surprising that there is a Journal of Sexual Medicine. I guess censorship law applies to your universities, too, Xiao? It's possible to major in Sexuality. People who do so typically offer their services as sexual counselors or write a lot of books.

    People who study Sexual Medicine become gynecologists and the like. I've never looked into it, but I'm going to assume that a professional gynecology journal is not actually appealing to see.

    I think it's called Hustler.

    It's quite sad that we as a civilisation are able to fight cancer, graft hearts and know the whole anatomy of a human brain, yet we aren't sure if a nickel-sized area does or does not exist in a human vagina.

    I don't want to play devil's advocate, but I have personal experience regarding the existence of the g-spot. I know, I know, you look at my avvie and the last thing you think is sex (I hope). I respectfully doubt the efforts of the scientists in charge of the decision.

    I don't want to play devil's advocate, but some people fake enjoying sex for their entire lives without admitting they are secretly gay.

    Alright, part of my problem with your statement is that I don't actually know if you're talking about me, the other part being I don't enjoy sex, don't bother faking it, and honestly can't see myself balls deep in another man.

    I'm saying she might have been faking it.

    Or, as the article says, it could be psychological. Extroverted women are more likely to orgasm than shy, reserved ones.

    Aha. See, I took what you said literally...and directed at myself. While she may have faked it, there's a palpable difference in surface area at the location (or, "spot") in question. It may be a psychological thing, or it could be that there are more nerve endings there connected to a euphoric sense of orgasm.

    We should slit some women open and check it out ourselves. That being said, why wasn't such a thing done already? Not necessarily speaking Jack the Ripper methods here - there surely are enough women donating their bodies to science to provide a decent statistical population.

    I'm sure that, during the dawn of modern medicine, there were times when genitalia were readily excised from corpses and then thoroughly dissected. However, at the time (I'm thinking of), women were regularly diagnosed with hysteria (derived from the Greek word for uterus), and were given orgasms as medical treatment. They were called paroxysms, I think. Eventually, doctors got tired of finger-banging their female patients, and one came up with the first vibrator. Soon after, it was patented and the vibrator became no less than the fifth electrical appliance to enter the common household.

    I remember reading about that as well.

    "Doc, what should I do?"
    "Take this prescription, and use it no less than twice a day. Call me in the morning...preferably while administering treatment."

    The man who invented the vibrator deserves no less than a Nobel Peace Prize in my opinion.

    ...I was going to make a smart-arse comment about all the domestic wars prevented by vibrators, but the teeth whitener ad scared it out of my brain.

    Is that a HORSE or something? Those teeth are waaaaaaaaaay too long to belong to a human... they look like oars...

    Forget about the vibrator Xiao. You need to get yourself one of these.

    You'll have to beat off all the guys who will want to date you after your purchase. Puns are fun.
