The ovaries are a pair of female reproductive organs. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are connected to each other by the Fallopian tubes. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries have two functions: they produce eggs (also called ova) and female hormones. The size of each ovary is about 1.5 inches long.
Each month, during the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a fallopian tube to the uterus.
The ovaries are the main source of female hormones (estrogen and progesterone). These hormones control the development of female body characteristics, such as the breasts, body shape, and body hair. The ovaries also regulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy

Without the ovaries you cannot become pregnant. The ovaries are found on both your left and right and they are connected to the womb by what is called the falloppian tubes. They carry the eggs that need fertilisation and if they don't during any cycle, then you get your periods. The ovaries are not important during intercourse. Whether you have them or have them cut out, they don't interfere with sex during intercourse but without them, no child/children. They also are in charge of producing the mucus that keeps the vagina wet so that you do not suffer from over-friction during sex.

Dude, if you *** there is a potential for a big role of the ovaries. It's called Daddy and if you don't marry Child Support. Other that that it's not like a G Spot and the ovaries are off the Fallopian tubes. Were you stoned during sex education? Cause I was the one the stoners always passed notes to asking for the correct answer.

The overies are located at either side of a womans womb connected to it by fallopian tubes which carry eggs from the ovaries into the womb to either be fertilised by sperm for conception or passed as a menstrual period....
There is no function for intercourse but there is a fanction if you wish to concieve.

the role of the ovary is for ovulation releasing an egg with the hopes of getting fertilized to make babies. It is located in the lower lower pelvic region one on each side, it has fallopian tubes attached to it, those tubes are where the egg goes down into.
