[A heated controversy--already settled today?].

In the sexuological literature there was a strong argument about the seeming inequality of clitorial or vaginal orgasms for a long time. S. Freud characterized the clitoral orgasm as immature, infantile and noted that it should be transformed into the advanced, truly vaginal orgasm. In contrast, feministically-oriented authors proclaimed the clitoral orgasm the actual, mentally more advanced one. Using a psychological "orgasm test" both hypotheses are verified in a population of 422 orgastically experienced women. The result shows that both clitoral and vaginal orgasms are not differently felt by women. Differently preferred coitus positions, either, are not supposed to have any influence on the orgastic experience of women.
