Study shows female dolphins can have orgasm just like humans

US Scientists have discovered that female bottlenose dolphins may be able to experience the same pleasure from sex as humans.

The female bottlenose dolphins have large and well-developed clitorises which are located close to the opening of their vaginas, meaning that any penetration would stimulate them and could cause an orgasm.

“In other mammalian species with year-round copulation, such as humans and bonobos, sex is known to be pleasurable for females, often through clitoral stimulation that leads to orgasm,” said lead researcher Dr Dara Orbach, a research associate at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts.

“Our anatomical observations suggest the clitoris is functional in bottlenose dolphins, but further research, including physiological and behavioural analyses, are necessary to test if sexual experiences can be pleasurable for female dolphins.”
