The female orgasm may have evolved as a mate-selection tool, according to new research

If you find something pleasurable, you're more likely to do it. Sexual reproduction reproduces the genes that make those things pleasurable.

Keeping in mind men also find having sex pleasurable. Their orgasm is necessary for reproduction, but nobody's wondering why it feels good for men as well, it's just assumed that that's normal. Sex (potentially) feeling good for everyone is why we like to do it, and from an evolutionary stand point that's good because more babies (technically) and so the species won't die out anytime soon.

There's really no big mystery to the female orgasm. If sex feels good we're more likely to stay with a partner long term but of course the rest of relationship has to work as well., and I don't think gender has a lot to do with that.
