Women produce testosterone, and may even need it for sexual arousal. But despite its reputation as the roughneck's Power Bar, scientists can find...
...litters. Angier reports on data, still disputed, that suggest human females are more likely to get pregnant from sex with an adulterous lover than from sex with their spouse. Besides, if anatomy has anything to do with destiny, you would expect the human female, with her unique ecstasy organ--the clitoris--to be the sexual powerhouse of the species. The man's penis, after all, has to double as a urine-and-semen-delivery tube and contains only half as many nerve fibers as the more refined and specialized clitoris...
