Hello Everyone,
Since the female orrgasm isn’t necessary for reproduction, do female animals have orgasms?
It seems so. After a detailed exposition on sexual gratification in female primates:
The author, Shaunacy Ferro, goes on to talk about lesser species:
In animals I know well (horses, dogs, & cats), when in heat, the females display very clear ‘inviting’ behavior toward males. Often multiple males, one after another.

A September 17, 1982 Straight Dope Classic from Cecil’s Storehouse of Human Knowledge discusses this very question.
It might not be necessary but it’s certainly adventageous.
is simply superb. Either he had great editors or Ferro has a great future, if necessary, as a science writer.
How does one know when a female chimpanzee has had an orgasm? :dubious: Don’t need answer fast.
Ferro is a woman.
