No one wonders why men have orgasms: the ejaculation is needed to deliver sperm deep into the woman and being pleasureable makes the man want to do it as often as possible.

Women's orgasms have no clearly demonstrated purpose. Hence the attempts to explain. And you are correct that all three make sense and the answer likely encompasses all three. No researcher will get rich and famous by proclaiming that. Scientific politics are as devious and ruthless as other politics.

A discussion of scientific findings requires clear explication of each alternative and then a conclusion. There is your clear explication of these three hypotheses. They all make a bit of sense and, really, who cares which is "correct?"

Researchers will study anything - like why poop is brown - if they think they will become famous.

Sexist? Think about it. We ALL began as female zygotes. That has got to be the basic body. Once the effects of the Y chromosome kick in, some are diverted to becoming a male body. And for most of history, the clitoris has been described as an undeveloped penis. It was there first.

And my theory about why you typed that message is you wanted to be a jerk.
