Context:

Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University and author of "Great in Bed" (DK Publishing, 2011), pointed out that ambiguity is nothing new in sexual research.
"I'm not sure why some people get caught up in this desire to find this anatomic thing that is the end all be all," Herbenick said.
