This also may be related to why the innervation of the clitoris continues to be omitted from OB/GYN literature. Detailed clitoral anatomy and physiology is largely absent from sexual medicine literature in general. OB/GYN textbooks continue to say that orgasm may not be important for sexual satisfaction in women. Te Linde, the “Bible” of gynecologic surgery, says “sexual function seems satisfactory” after denervation of the glans.

I discussed this here.

My goal is to generate enough public awareness and support to help get it added to textbooks and board exams. Textbook authors are currently resistant. Neville Hacker, for example, explained why this should not be included. Yet his textbook, Hacker and Moore’s Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology, devotes more space to male sexual response than female. I haven’t been able to figure out how to get OB/GYNs to help so I’m asking patients to care.
