Most ambitious studies of female orgasmic capacity
A number of sexological studies have attempted to relate the orgasmic capacities of women to
a host of other
factors, such as family background, attitudes towards parents, and personality structure. In
recent times the most
ambitious studies of this sort were carried out by L. M. Terman. The first involved a 6 large
sample of married
women (and their husbands), predominantly middle-or upper middle-class in California. The
second study was
also based on a California sample and made use of wives who were either highly intelligent
themselves or married
to intelligent husbands. One intention was that the second study would provide an opportunity
to cross validate
any findings that emerged from the first. These studies are discussed by Fisher in "The Female
Orgasm".
