==== Debate on the terminology ==== The terminology (such as female prostate and female ejaculation) invoke images of the female as merely an imitation of the male, mapping the female body onto the male, as if, like the [[Galen]]ic view, it was incomplete.<ref name=connell>Connell SM. Aristotle and Galen on sex difference and reproduction: a new approach to an ancient rivalry. Studies In History and Philosophy of Science Part A 31(3): 405β27, September 2000.</ref> Furthermore, overemphasis of ejaculation may induce performance anxiety.<ref name="chalker"/> For the reason that 'sameness' has been construed as a male perspective, some feminists reject the term ejaculation. Others argue it should be retained as a distinctive feminine characteristic distinguishable from the male, and imbued with different properties and purpose. A third concern is that of the increasing 'medicalisation' of women's sexuality, as expressed by Leonore Tiefer which finds its most extreme manifestation in the concept of [[female sexual dysfunction]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Moynihan R |title=The marketing of a disease: female sexual dysfunction |journal=BMJ |volume=330 |issue=7484 |pages=192β4 |date=January 2005 |pmid=15661785 |pmc=545000 |doi=10.1136/bmj.330.7484.192 }}</ref> Tiefer has expressed concern that overemphasising ejaculation will drive women who might feel inadequate to seek medical attention (see Health implications below),<ref name=chalker/> as has the [[Boston Women's Health Book Collective|Boston Women's Health Collective]].<ref>Boston Women's Health Collective. [[Our Bodies, Ourselves|Our Bodies, Our Selves]]. Simon and Schuster NY 1984, page 171</ref> Other criticism comes from [[Barbara Ehrenreich]]<ref>Ehrenreich B, Hess E, Jacobs G. Re-making love, the feminization of sex. Anchor Press NY 1986, page 185</ref> and colleagues who see this new sexuality as one that privileges the male in control, penile retention and body position, but this is denied by others.<ref name=bell/>
