Point is, that to insist on a thing that cannot be confirmed to have an actual 100% probability is unscientific - I don't care if the researchers are women or not. There a lot of politics involved in this issue for reasons I can't personally fathom, from Freudian/Victorian superstitions, to clitorodectomies, denial of the existance of female orgasm, and so on. Thus, I'm immediately suspicious when anybody tries to insist on an exclusionary viewpoint, even when it involves physiology, which is considerably more complex than the "Clitoral only" camp tries to make out. Thre are politics in science, just as there are in any human institution.
Lets stick to the scientific method itself, and the evidence: human physiology, particularly in the area of the nervous system, an area that we have barely begun to explore - the more we find out, the more questions are raised, and since we aren't writing textbooks, but trying to figure out how to get a better orgasm, establishing the probable or practical primary locus is merely a beginning step, not the point of the excercise.
It likely has to do with the type of nerve cells involved or their configuration - pretty much any nerve can spasm, I think everybody has probobly had a facial tic at least once in their life, it's just that there is a high concentration of nerves in this one particular spot, that may or may not be more susceptible to spasming during overstimulation.
This might vary considerably from person to person however. Specific areas of the brain tend to be delegated to specific tasks, Broca's area for example in language, or the visual cortex - this can vary from person to person however, and in cases of injury, entire functional groups can shift to entirely differnt areas of the brain.
This same flexibility seems to be at work in the parts of the nervous system responsible for orgasm - the clitoris appears to be specifically designed to spasm from manual stimulation, and even to become stimulated from psychological stimulation alone - this might be a function of the specific nerve cells involved, but it's more probable that there is some area of the brain that is significantly involved. Indeed, there is a whole range of hormonal resonses specific to brain chemistry that accompany sexual activity at any level, up to and including orgasm.
If we establish the primary locus of orgasm within the brain, and the clitoris simply as the primary sensory organ, it creates an entire new range of possibilities: we already know that there are different varieties of orgasm from anecdotal reports confirmed by research, meaning nerve ganglia outside the clitoris are responding more or less identically to clitoral ganglia, and theoretically at least, any part of the nervous system from tip to toe, could potentially become involved.
This tends to make it a little more difficult to insist that "all orgasms are clitoral", the clitoris may well be the primary or initial locus, but once peripheral ganglia become involved, this is no longer strictly true.
We tend to think that the tongue is the primary organ of taste, but we now know that the olifactory glands play a significant role, and recently, it has been discovered that conversely, the tongue itself even plays a role in the visual cortex.
The brain is hugely complicated organ, and is capable of adaptation - the nervous system is an extension of the brain, and must be assumed to be equally adaptive.
The practical upshot of this, is that theoretically, one can train oneself to expand or even shift the locus of orgasm, and I believe there is enough anecdotal evidence in this thread alone to confirm this, and a variety of techniques identified, both manual and psychological: littlepetkana provides a practical starting point:
quote:
The only sure-fire way for me to acheive such is to have stimulation, in the area between the "g spot" (although generally this area is no GREAT pleasure for me, comparitively speaking) and what I refer to as my "top/front wall" that is, when i am on top (the best way for this, for me) the top and front. Since the vagina is NOT a square room, but a conical area.
- but any number of different techniques are identified, cervical stimulation, G-Spot, etc., etc.
The fact that there is so much variation in technique argues that response varies from individual to individual to some extent, stemming from either physiological or psycholgical causes, or both - experimentation appears to be the key.
Next: multiple orgasms - can you cum like a Jackhammer? Stay tuned!
