The female orgasm has been a bit of a mystery to many, but not just how to give them. Scientists are determined to discover their function, proving that it is more than just a pleasant side effect of making the beast with two backs. The New York Times recently covered a study by evolutionary biologist Mihaela Pavlicev that built off of the studies of Dr. Elisabeth Lloyd, who was more inclined to believe that the female orgasm served little to no purpose.
Dr. Lloyd thinks the best explanation for the female orgasm is that it hasn’t served any evolutionary purpose at all. It’s nothing more than the byproduct of the development of the male orgasm. The orgasm is to women, she believes, as nipples are to men.
Pavlicev is determined to dig a little deeper, but Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling decided to weigh into the debate on Twitter, hilariously offering up the prime reason why ladies deserve to get their rocks off too.
Yes, the prospect of pushing an 8 pound object out of your vagina should be more than enough incentive for sex. https://t.co/UoEtPH3lRh

Ladies and gentlemen, the queen has spoken. Perhaps we should focus less on why women orgasm and learn more about how women orgasm, because the ravages of childbirth are more than enough of a reason for a little somethin’-somethin’.
