So let's take a diversion from the current threads.

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/new-theory-suggests-female-orgasms-are-evolutionary-leftover

If this theory is true, which of the following modifications might be more
popular, and why?  Assuming sufficiently advanced biotechnology, but these
do not seem like they would require as radical a leap as some other
technologies we have discussed.

1) Reverse evolution so that ovulation occurs upon orgasm.  Celibate (or at
least non-orgasming) females would be able to store their eggs longer (for
career, et cetera), though they might take longer to mature sexually.  On
the flip side, deliberately getting pregnant would be easier since one
could reliably induce ovulation without expensive medicines or procedures.

2) Modify the ovaries to be like the testes: constantly producing seed (egg
cells, in their case).  No more menopause.
