This was the first time I've heard about "hedonic hotspots" and I'm fascinated! Thank you for introducing me to something new!

Thank you for your insights and making the connection between sex and science. I recently published a novel titled "Clitapalooza: Her flower blooms power" about a 60-ish woman who philanders with a chatbot and gets caught in a digital trap. It's a feminist satire, funny and sex-positive. I knew when I chose the title I was taking the risk that some readers would simply turn away from any reference to the clitoris. But the story is about a clitoris problem. I wrote it because I wanted to call attention to the issues you raise in your work. No regrets. Still, I'm surprised how many women are ashamed of their bodies and fear being associated with the clitoris. Purity culture dominates. Yes, we need to be liberated from purity culture and gender norms. Your work is a public service.
