I don't really believe that the female orgasm will be "selected away". Selection pressures take thousands of years to really take effect, especially one as subtle as that, and I can't see the modern pressure for it or how it would actually affect reproductive success. Also, obviously I believe we are going to be evolving technologically over the next 100 years in profound ways - and that it is more likely that biological sex altogether will be gone before the end of this century. Hrdy might have had a point if we had stayed hunting and gathering for thousands of years into the future.
