Following a career in nursing, much of her academic work has been concerned with the enhancement of female sexual function. In 1981, she was co-author of Frank Addiego et al., "Female ejaculation: a case study." The paper was presented in The Journal of Sex Research and includes the first published instance of the term "G-Spot". [1] She is an elected Fellow of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. [2]
Following the book, Whipple continued to publicize her work, including a 9 min video made in 1981 Orgasmic Expulsions of Fluid in the Sexually Stimulated Female. [3] In 1984, the Journal of Sex Research described the debate surrounding female ejaculation as 'heated'. [4]
Whipple was a co-author of the paper "Who's Afraid of the G-spot?". This was a review by six scientists who looked at the available literature to investigate the phenomena known as the G-Spot. It was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine which concluded that more research was required. [5]
Her techniques include using fMRI scans to gather evidence on what is happening in the brain. [6] Her animal experiments contributed to the isolation of the vasoactive intestinal peptide [7] and the discovery that orgasms can be rerouted to the brain via the vagus nerve without using the spinal cord, [8] thus enabling females with spinal cord injury to achieve orgasm by psychological stimulation alone. [9]
The following is a list of books that have been written or co-written by Whipple. [10]
