For women biological reproduction continues long past the sexual act in slow painful service

Evidence

Fertilization can occur without the woman deriving any pleasure. On the other hand, fertilization is far from representing the completion of the sexual process for her; by contrast, it is at this moment that the service demanded of her by the species begins: it takes place slowly and painfully in pregnancy, birth, and breast-feeding. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 946
