The more frequently you have sex, the more chance you have of getting pregnant. Nobody will be surprised at that - but what is surprising is that, according to various scientific studies, an average couple in Britain having reasonably regular sex have only about an 18 per cent chance of conceiving in any given month.
Could this factor be down to whether or not a woman's enjoyment of sex aids conception? A leading fertility expert has suggested just this, a link between satisfying sex and conception is an interesting one.
A study of hundreds of couples struggling to conceive has left experts in little doubt that the female orgasm can aid conception - it was previously assumed it was a useless factor for reproduction.
How could we account for these findings in a scientific way?
One theory is that the muscles of the vagina and the womb contract, sometimes quite vigorously, during orgasm and that way more sperm enters the uterus.
Then, after a period of relaxation, the sperm are retained. We do know that, during orgasm, a hormone is released - oxytocin, which, among other things, is associated with extreme pleasure. This hormone is also important in producing contractions of the womb.
