Comments on the clue
1.I don't even want to think about the implied meaning of "inside the pleasure centre".
2.Doing that while 'after' a woman would constitute assault, even in France
3.This is a bit explicit! Should say 'female' rather than 'a woman' – bit unfair to expect solvers to make that jump
4.Definition rather vague, 'when' otiose in wordplay, 'a woman' for 'f' too indirect.
5.Woman to female to F is one step extra and this is why 'woman' is not used for picking F.
