Many scientists have examined the female orgasm and yet found no link between the frequency of orgasms in women, and their sexual success. They have thus concluded that the female orgasm is an accident of evolution. This ignores that there are at least five distinct pathways to orgasm in the female.

There is, of course, a strong link between female orgasms and sexual success in the male. In other words, a man capable of giving such pleasure to his female partners will have more success than a man who is not, other attributes such as wealth, power, and looks being equal.

The female orgasm is a mechanism for sexual selection of the male, and has evolved over the last millions of years as a barrier that males must climb over to convince their partners that they are special. Their speciality is no more or less than their ability to climb over this barrier, backed up by the time and energy that takes.

Over years, the female genome has pushed this barrier higher and higher, a gentle arms race between the genders. We can postulate that males have gotten gentler and more patient since we split off from our ape cousins.

Difficulty with orgasm is, in the female, not a sexual disorder, but a sign of a healthy barrier that excludes all but the highest quality males. Indeed, women who have orgasms easily with any partner can be considered abnormal in this respect.

The evolution of the female orgasm as a sexual selection mechanism can be trivially proven by correlating the ability in males to climb that wall with frequency and diversity of their sexual partners. Second, to eliminate causation in the other sense by asking women to express a preference. Third, to show that this talent is inherited.

The female orgasm can also be considered as part of the "black market" in sexuality. Women are overtly attracted to males for their power and ability as providers. Orgasms play no part in this. Indeed, a woman might prefer a husband who cannot climb that wall, since her garden is not the only one around. However, when a women seeks a lover on the side, especially if she intends (as a significant proportion of women do) to have children with one man while attributing them to another, this talent becomes a paramount selector.

Again, trivially proven by interviewing women: if you were married, would you choose a lover on the basis of their power and wealth, or their ability to give you frequent, deep orgasms.

Social regulation that forbids sex before marriage can be seen as a tactic by which men collude to prevent women pre-selecting them on this basis.

It has been argued that since the women of remote tribes do not cover their breasts, their sexual symbolism is purely cultural. This ignores the truth that for a symbol to be symbolic, it must in fact be visible. The proper scientific method would be to show a remote tribesman the pictures of a naked porn star before and after breast augmentation surgery, and ask which he preferred. The journals of anthropology do not show any such experiments, to my knowledge.

Also, it is quite possible that the women of remote tribes shown in old copies of National Geographic would seize the chance to cover their breasts if they had the convenience of cheap fabric.

Breast development is tied to hormones and good health in a way that cannot be faked. The unfakeability of physical indicators in any species is key to their survival through the critical process of sexual selection. The size and shape of breasts is severely impacted by suckling, and thus in the ancestral society that shaped us, proud firm breasts are an almost unfakeable indicator of maidenhood. Put it another way: a woman with nice breasts is more likely to be fertile and healthy, and much less likely to have kids and a large protective husband.

This matters specifically to humans because of the peculiarities of our reproductive model: we bond for life, and invest decades as a parental pair in our young.

Men find female breasts attractive because they are youth and fertility indicators, in the same way as they find long hair, smooth skin, clear eyes, healthy teeth, and an hourglass figure to be attractive.

Every successful negotiation starts with nonchalance, a shrug of the shoulders, and explicit choice. One wants competition among the opposing parties. If necessary, the negotiator will invent opposition and establish his or her clear choice. When showing the young couple the shiny car, the salesman explains that another couple saw it this very morning and will be back later to sign the contract, but if they hurry they can still get it. Similarly, a young man proposing to a woman to go on a date may mention, offhandedly, that he had planned to go with a competing female but… shrug…

To back up this position of not caring excessively about the outcome, successful negotiators make sure they are never seen as the deciding party. This is sometimes called the "pet rock" principle, on the basis that the negotiator will respond, to any request for a firm proposal, "hang on, I have to ask" (insert pet rock here). When the couple ask the price, the car salesman explains he "must clear it with the boss". A smart businessman will "consult with his partners", even (or especially) if he does not have any. A smart young girl will invite suitors to home to face her parents, thus losing some freedom of choice in exchange for significantly increased value in the market.

Sophisticated negotiation teams can have many structures, and in politics this takes the form of an arms race in which each side tries to up the ante, leading to "Mandarin politics", named after the historical Tang Dynasty Chinese state in which every decision involved over one thousand layers of bureaucracy, leading to the 1655 starvation of ten million peasants who were unable to get permission to farm their fields for six months, and the second Mongol invasion which got as far as Shanghai largely because the Mandarins were unable to decide whether or not to take their armies out of their sleevies.

While many people consider diaries to be a normal part of teenager life, it is a provable fact that these were unknown in past times, say 10,000 years ago. Rather than a quaint attempt at self-documentation, diaries may better be seen as a sign of trouble in the life of a young growing woman. Specifically, a female who has access to sufficient Bitchtorrent peers will maintain a healthy store of up-to-date torrents, and high upload ratios, giving her a good social status and high self-esteem. However, an isolated young woman, lacking in sisters, female cousins, and close female friends, will create an imaginary Bitchtorrent peer with whom to create a persistent bond. "Dear diary…"

While there is no direct harm in considering a diary to be a better listener than, for example, one's parents, the indirect damage can be significant and long term. First of all, diary writers will suffer from low self-esteem, having no human peers to help in self-evaluation. This low self-esteem will translate into poor choice of friends, subjects of study, husband, and eventually, interior decorations.

Second, failure to practice real Bitchtorrent at a young age makes females somewhat incompetent at navigating the real world, when they finally leave home. A common coping mechanism is male mimicry, in which a female learns Woofing, seeks employment in a pack structure (that is, a traditional business or bureaucratic setting), and attempts to find self-esteem by competing with males. This strategy is generally guaranteed to fail, leaving the female at thirty with no partner (since family and work do not mix), and unable to get one (since men do not enjoy women who speak Woofing back to them).

Incidentally, even females who do not keep a diary and who establish good Bitchtorrent networks while young, will find their share ratio falling if they invest significantly in male mimicry in a pack structure.

Thirdly, since Bitchtorrent serves as the principle conduit for information about the world, women who do not build healthy Bitchtorrent networks will make errors of judgment based on inadequate information and wrong assumptions. Such as, "I know he loves me, he told me so." To which a real Bitchtorrent peer would reply, "Don't fool yourself, sister, he just wants you to sleep with him," and back that up with the relevant stories. The diary is thus the silent partner in the misery of many young and confused women.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly from an overall socioeconomic perspective, the failure of a significant proportion of individual Bitchtoothing networks represents a systemic failure of an important aspect of social fabric. A society dominated by Woolfing speakers, lacking the balance that Bitchtorrent networks provide, will be efficient but will also be stupid, and commit ghastly mistakes on a massive scale.

Luckily the 21st century discovered how to make Bitchtorrent work over the Internet, giving us Facebook and Myspace.

Without technological assistance, women will establish persistent peering relationships only with a small number (half a dozen or so) high-value peers. Modern "social networking" software (this common label ignores the essentially gender-oriented nature of the scenario) lets women scale their network to hundreds of lower-value peers, which has been very bad for the diary business, but good for young women everywhere, as well as fun for many men who have found that such web sites let them speak fluent Bitchtorrent, with almost no effort.

Having said all this, it remains a crime of theft (of information value, in the Bitchtorrent sense) for anyone to read another person's diary, unless the writer is a historical figure. Parents who find diaries in their daughters' drawers should under no circumstances read them. They should however take the time to establish a Bitchtorrent channel, starting with the offering of rich and valuable information. To the father who asked his pregnant teenage daughter, "why did you not tell me you had a boyfriend?!", the girl may accurately answer, "because you never told me anything intimate about yourself".

Woofing carries minimal information content and is mainly about the assertion of power. While volume matters, the loud woof of one dog is less significant than the low rumble from the leader of a large dog pack. Woofing is a simple language with only three principle concepts: "do!", "go!", and "look!"

Male social status is entirely based on the size of the pack they can build through well-timed Woofing.

One of the striking features of human society is the utter incompatibility between Bitchtorrent and Woofing. Females understand Woofing from a very young age, but find the language offensive and degrading except in the special case of dominant female speaking to male. Most men find women who speak Woofing to be intimidating.

Many males can speak a trivial version of Bitchtorrent in emulation mode but find it strenous and pointless, unless there is sex within a certain period, the length of which depends on the female's attractiveness and availability. More typically, the female attempts to open a Bitchtorrent channel in order to establish a peering relationship with the male, and the male responds in Woofing, leaving both parties confused and unhappy, the male providing a flat zero bits per second transfer rate, and the female neither doing, going, nor looking.

Bitchtorrent allows two peers to trade torrents of information, based on mutual valuation of the quality of, and specific content of, torrents. The source of a torrent, its freshness, and its relevance are combined into a self-ranked score. The peer will then upload fragments of the torrent in exchange for fragments of another torrent of equally ranked score. A common honesty enforcement strategy is "full box / empty box", in which each peer responds to a fragment they receive with a fragment they estimate to be of equal value.

As a protocol, Bitchtorrent can be implemented in any human language, and Bitchtorrent implementations are compatible between all cultures, suggesting that the Bitchtorrent package is implemented automatically, at boot time.

In general, female human brains (including those of many homosexual men) implement Bitchtorrent from the onset of puberty, or earlier, while male brains do not have Bitchtorrent capability. In contrast, all females understand Woofing from a very early age, and dominant females speak Woofing when talking to men.

Bitchtorrent traffic acts as a status indicator in human society. That is, female social status is based on their Bitchtorrent upload ratio and the quality of their peer network, as well as on the size of the car their husband bought them.

Bitchtorrent is a competitive protocol, meaning that peers gain more value as they learn to use the protocol better. Principally, peers learn to bluff up the value of the information they hold ("it's a secret!"), bluff down the value of that held by the other ("oh, yes, I knew that"), and rapidly detect cheats while avoiding the "cheat" label oneself. We can safely assume that this competitive aspect has driven the evolution of Bitchtorrent since the first female hominid explained to another where she had found those amazingly pretty stones, over a million years ago.

Bitchtorrent is also a persistent peering protocol, meaning that once a peering relationship has been established, it continues indefinitely until explicitly broken by one of the parties through public pronouncement ("I'm never speaking to her again!"). When two peers are separated for a time, and then reconnect, they synchronize their torrents, a process that can take many hours, even days.

Females thus build different Bitchtorrent networks depending on their age and the importance of the information they can share. From one to ten years, with close relatives including both parents, and for practice with any other females of close age. During the intensity of puberty, with sisters, and close friends. From adulthood, as skill and discrimination improves, with anyone.

For several reasons, but mainly because they speak Woofing to their offspring, parents with a male brain (usually but not all nor only fathers) do not usually manage to peer properly with their female offspring. It can happen in the case of sole fathers who spend the time to learn fluent Bitchtorrent.

Bluetoothing is an essential part of female social behavior, and has mostly escaped the attention of psychologists because these mainly either are, or think like, men. The bluetoothing pattern is analogous with the synchronization of two mobile agendas using a wireless protocol: exchange of credentials, negotiation, data transmission, confirmation, and sign off. The proximity presence of males disrupts a bluetoothing session, which will nonetheless resume almost perfectly as soon as the male moves out of wireless range. It is easy to more profoundly disrupt a bluetoothing session by smiling and nodding then interjecting plausible but irrelevant questions such as "so, what color was the dog?" and "did she say what her cousin's name was?" The female pair will eventually resume their data stream but at some cost.

Notable aspects of bluetoothing: it requires some level of prior friendship between the females; the duration of a bluetoothing session depends on the time since a previous synchronization (thus, amount of data to exchange); the pattern rarely involves more than two females; it is a strict peer-to-peer communications model; disclosure is not automatic but depends on the relative social valuation of the data being exchanged, and the other party.

Lastly, it is interesting to compare the female bluetoothing model of communication with the male "broadcasting" model of one-to-many announcement, and as usual with aspects of the human species, to ask "why?" On Venus, the women are chatting to each other, while on Mars they are giving orders.

A concentration of beautiful women in any one place is a consequence of social inequality in the surrounding regions. A man drives his car down a country lane and slows down for a hitch-hiker. She is a young woman, unattractive and clumsy. He accelerates and drives on. Beauty gets women favours from men, makes them physically and socially mobile, takes them away from the barren countryside to the cities, to power, money, and pretty things.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone is a critic. A beautiful landscape is one that suits our ancestral human needs for space, protection, control. A beautiful car is one that carries us rapidly, safely, and with style - for cars are like the peacock's feathers, more a demonstration of the ability to waste, than utilitarian tools. A beautiful cathedral likewise is one that shows a pure elegance of waste. And a beautiful woman is, in every society, one with specific age and lifestyle indicators that correlate to "fertile, young, and available" (in the male eye) and "younger and more fertile than me" (in the adult female eye). Insofar as both these indicators and the eye for them are constant in all human groups, the criteria for human beauty can be considered universal.

Many women are attracted by pretty things, money and power. A man with the brutality to seize these from others can exert a strong attraction on women. However, women also want legitimacy, for themselves and their children. They may date a gangster, but they want to marry an honest man. Men who cannot either conform to society, or build a society that conforms to them, will find their only company to be hustlers and hookers.

Anyone who thinks that modern society is based on equality of males and females should examine their own views on male and female sexuality. The teacher and student are caught in a car, one is twenty-five, one is fifteen. Now imagine the four possible combinations of gender, and examine your own reactions to those. Ethics is about the fairness of power.

Before seventeen, a girl must leave home if she wants free choice of male companions. If by thirty she is still choosing male companions instead of raising a family, she is putting the genetic line at risk. Thus, a human female only has a dozen years of her life when she is truly free.

It is a particular challenge for the father to remain close to growing daughters, especially from adolescence. However, there is a simple and reliable solution: an hour or more spent, every day, exchanging gossip and details of respective lives. Adolescent females rate their secrets very high, so they will need correspondingly valuable gossip in exchange. Google may come in handy here.

The beggars aspire to cash in their pockets, and prefer a state that pampers them. The bakers aspire to selling more bread, and prefer a state that creates prosperity. The bureaucrats aspire to a shorter week, and prefer a state of Law and Order. The bandits aspire to more luxuries, and prefer a state of chaos, in which they can steal more. The bureaucrats consider the beggars as a nuisance, the bakers as naive, and the bandits as masters.
