She has some French word that means you're a woman whose clit is a long way from her vagina. She talked to a bunch of women, and measured how far their clits were from their vaginas, and asked them how sex was for them. I think this was before oral sex was invented. Did her guy have to go down on her then? Her clit was a long way from her vagina, and she never got any vaginal orgasms. So it's not really a vaginal orgasm at all. The guy's penetrating her, and it gives her an orgasm, but what's really happening is that he's just indirectly stimulating her clit. The question is whether so-called vaginal orgasms are really just clitoral orgasms in disguise. Stroking or kissing their clit gets them off. Alright, so most women have clitoral orgasms. I didn't understand how many different opinions there were. Well, she spends a lot of time discussing whether women really do have vaginal orgasms. Now do you want me to tell you what she said about women's orgasms?

It's not silly! She's really got a lot of interesting things to say! George, tell me something you did today.
