Female
Orgasmic Disorder
Category
Sexual
Disorders and Dysfunctions
Etiology
Some
research suggests that failure to achieve an orgasm for women is related
to intimacy issues, feelings of fear and anxiety, and a sense of not being
safe within the intimate relationship or relationships in general.
Symptoms
Delay
of orgasm following normal excitement and sexual activity. Due to the
widely varied sexual response in women, it must be judged by a clinician
to be significant taking into account the persons age and situation.
The condition is persistent or occurs frequently and causes significant
distress. Is not a direct effect of substance use.
Treatment
Typical
treatment would involve discovering and resolving underlying conflict or
life difficulties.
Prognosis
Very
good. Especially if the underlying issues are addressed and worked
through.
