Abstract

Female orgasm is much more complicated psychosomatic response than orgasm in men and is shrouded in a number of certainties. Differences are in mechanism of origin, intensity and length of experience, in external and internal subjective manifestations.

The scientists' approach to female orgasm is considerably diverse. Many theories about its function and pathophysiology exist.

Still there are debates about how female may reach a climax and what is character of "real" female orgasm. One of basic typologies divides the orgasm based on stimulated location into clitoral, vaginal and combined.

The most frequent disagreements are in existence and importance of orgasm induced either by outer clitoral or vaginal stimulation. Our article is focused on the development of opinions of previously mentioned characteristics of female orgasm.
