female orgasm is a lucky bonus of a common developmental process.-cofty
I disagree, some links or quotes please cofty. (not a ten page book). Naural selection suggests females who enjoy reproduction will procreate more often. Do female monkeys and dogs have orgasms? If so this is part of an evolutionary process that was not just lucky, intelligence was involved. Kate xx
It's not hard to imagine how any mutation that would make sex pleasurable would be likely to be passed on. More sex = more reproduction = characteristic more likely to be passed on. And then religion got invented to make people feel guilty about it.

"In the lab, by artificial stimulation, it is possible to trigger female orgasm in virtually any primate species."

Of out to coaching session, read all about orgasms while I'm gone.
For more info google " The Case of the Female Orgasm : Bias in the Science of Evolution " by Dr Elisabeth Loyd

LOL! I agree. Kate xx
Maybe pleasure is not simply a bonus but a necessary advantage to success in reproduction.
Young inexperienced animals fumble the process until positive feedback (pleasure) says "You got that right". As for whether it ought to be pleasant for the female? She may have no options to offer as in the case of a hen with her single vent but when the female has other openings available down under,it might be an advantage if the female as well as the male experience a moment of "BINGO!" that said "Make deposits HERE".
Pigs have orgasms too, there was a pig study of the upsuck of semen when a sow is stimulated during insemination. The study showed the litter was bigger.
Click on the link and at 11 mins the study is discussed. So orgasms in females can increase the likelyhood of procreation, and offspring. Interesting evolutionary discovery.

cofty, I cant see where an evolutionary biologist said female orgasms are a lucky bonus. My youtube here seems more credible. Kate xx

Good point you make. Females were evolved this way out of necessity possibly. cofty has provided no scientific evidence to the contrary. Kate xx
Have fun investigating the various ideas. Don't forget that hypotheses are nothing without experimental data.
Blue text is a link by the way in case you missed it.
Off out coaching now............
Another aspect of sexual reproduction that is barely understood is how the sexes (male and female) evolved. One theory is that separate sexes stemmed from genetic mutations in hermaphroditic genes.
Some evidence of this theory has been elucidated from a species of wild strawberry plants which appears to be transitioning from hermaphroditism to dualality of sexes. S ingle-sex plants breed not only with one another but also with hermaphroditic plants and pass on the mutation, which can result in single-sex offspring. Although sterile plants also result, plants with genes that favor the production of fertile offspring will obviously be more successful.
It is expected that the weaknesses created by inbreeding in the hermaphrodite plants result a gradual decline in the population. Consequently, fewer chromosomes with both fertility versions will be passed on and the frequency of single-sex individuals will increase and eventaully dominate the population.
