Orgasmic
dysfunction is a woman's inability to have an orgasm.
Orgasmic
dysfunction in females is not a term parallel to impotence in
males.
A
woman with orgasmic dysfunction is not able to have an orgasm
at all by any method; whereas, an impotent male, contrary to
a female with orgasmic dysfunction, can have an erection, can
masturbate, and also can ejaculate outside the vagina but none
of these, inside the vagina during intercourse.
There
are many possible causes for orgasmic dysfunction. They are
so many that it is really difficult to classify them in a coherent
list. Still a few of them causing orgasmic dysfunction are religious
prohibitions, emotional immaturity, lack of identification with
the partner, and marriage to a sexually inadequate man.
Probably,
the most frequent cause of orgasmic dysfunction in a woman is
her 'second-best mate' syndrome. A woman with orgasmic dysfunction
feels that the male she is with as a sex partner is certainly
inferior to the ideal person of her dreams who she should, and
could, have slept with. She cannot lose herself in the sexual
act and thus becomes a victim of orgasmic dysfunction.
The
'Sex
for Enlightenment Workshop',
along with its projected target, also works as a spontaneous
treatment and cure of orgasmic dysfunction.
