Given the consistent brevity of copulation that I have witnessed regarding mammals other than homo sapiens, is it reasonable to conclude that women are somewhat unique amongst female mammals in that they seem to derive a satisfaction that in many cases rivals that experienced by their male counterpart ?

It would seem to me that the best a bitch in heat could hope for from coitus is to scratch an itch in the crotch.

[The Master says](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_064b.html) that human females are unusual in this regard, but not unique.

Since this is actually a question that Cecil answered very specifically in a column, let’s put it over in CoCC, instead of GQ.

Besides, showing Cecil at his wittiest is always a joy.
