From Freud to Lloyd, all the talk about female orgasm
Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/04/2005 | From Freud to Lloyd, all the talk about female orgasm: "Lest we get too caught up in this year's 100th anniversary of Einstein's special relativity theory, it should be noted that 2005 also marks the centennial of Sigmund Freud's theory of vaginal orgasm.
Freud's idea didn't cause a revolution in our understanding of the cosmos, but it did set off a debate that rages to this day. Now, a new genetics study and a book on the evolution of female orgasm may help bring a new understanding of this complicated reflex.
Freud proposed that female pleasure and orgasm should center on the reproductive tract. He was aware that many women experienced orgasm through a small but ultrasensitive organ known as the clitoris but dealt with this by declaring such orgasms 'infantile.' Any woman who didn't transfer her center of sensitivity to the vagina he labeled as frigid."
