How do physiological definitions of female orgasm (vaginal blood flow, pelvic contractions) differ across laboratory studies?

Laboratory studies define the female orgasm using a range of physiological markers—vaginal blood flow/engorgement, pelvic and uterine muscle contractions, and neuroendocrine changes such as prolactin ...

How do ambulatory (at-home) genital arousal measurements compare with institutional lab measures in sexual psychophysiology studies?

Ambulatory (at‑home) genital arousal measurement trades some of the experimental control of institutional laboratories for greater ecological validity, producing larger genital responses in some healt...

How does clitoral internal anatomy vary across individuals and with age according to modern imaging studies?

Modern imaging—primarily MRI and newer 3‑D reconstruction techniques—shows the clitoris to be a complex, multiplanar organ whose size, volume and visible configuration vary substantially between indiv...

How do MRI studies of coitus correlate specific penetration depths with sites of vaginal sensation and reported orgasm in partners?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of coitus show reproducible anatomic patterns of penile contact—most commonly preferential contact with the anterior vaginal wall and anterior fornix in face‑t...

What specific coital positions or pelvic tilts have been shown in studies to maximize penile‑clitoral contact?

Recent biomechanical and clinical literature converges on a clear, evidence-backed point: face‑to‑face alignments of the pelvis—especially modified missionary variants that bring the base of the penis...
