Researchers Find Orgasm Gene
LONDON-June 8, 2005 — New research suggests that a woman's ability to achieve sexual climax is at least partly determined by her genes and can't be blamed entirely on cultural influences.

Researchers say the questionnaires revealed a significant genetic influence on the ability to reach orgasm.
Specialists say the findings don't mean women who inherit an unfortunate gene package are doomed. They just mean that more work, or patience, is required.
The study was reported this week in Biology Letters, a journal of the Royal Society, Britain's independent academy of science.
