Which surely only made matters worse, adding stress which interferes with arousal. We did not climax during intercourse, so we were ‘frigid.’ We were defective, in other words. ‘Orgasm’ was one of those dirty words we didn’t say. I thought it meant you weren’t interested in sex, which also is not a positive term. Women who did not have a climax through intercourse then were considered ‘frigid.’ It’s an awful word. I liked the excitement of our ‘foreplay’… But I didn’t know what it would take for me to have more than that. And I felt, ‘Well if this is all there is, why is it such a big fuss?

When you had your first sexual experience and you’d only learned negative things, did you expect it to be pleasurable? I know by that time, the hormones are at least giving you some clue. You know something that was not in any of my father’s medical books? The clitoris. To make it even worse, if it could get worse than that, I knew there had to be something more to sex so I went looking in my father’s medical books. What the girls learned was about menstruation and how the egg travels from the ovaries to the uterus and if it gets there and so on.

And, that it’s the anatomical equivalent of the penis: same erectile tissue, same capacity to grow larger and “erect.” She discovered that the clitoris is wishbone-shaped, with most of it living inside vulva havers, under the pubic bone. She had found that modern medical science had been making a huge mistake: the clitoris wasn’t only a small “button” on the vulva. Helen O’Connell, a urologist in Melbourne, authored a study called Anatomy of the clitoris.
