Data from Micronesian cultures throw light on the attitude of the male toward the female genitalia and the female orgasm. It is important for the Micronesian woman to have large, observable external genitalia, for the man is especially attracted by them; efforts are made toward artificially enlarging them. The enlarged genital is then referred to as 'full of things' and is said to aid the woman in achieving quicker orgasm. The enlarged genital is often treated as a penis by the man and he finds it highly desirable that the woman urinate at the climax (which he apparently equates with ejaculation), and that she have her climax first. The author suggests that this behavior helps the man to overcome his castration anxiety.
