- The most common way of achieving
orgasm in women is by the stimulation of clitoris
- Women can get an orgasm
during vaginal intercourse, oral sex (cunnilingus), masturbation, or other
types of non-penetrative sex
- Female orgasm may also be achieved
by stimulation of the nipples, uterus, or other erotic zones
- At times psychological arousal may
be sufficient to lead to an orgasm, for e.g. during dreaming (which
may result in a nocturnal emission)
- Stimulation of an internal
structure called Skene's gland plays an important part in female
orgasm. In common use, this area is referred to as G-spot
- Orgasm in women lasts much longer
than in men
- It is preceded by stiffening
of the clitoris and moistening of the vaginal opening
- Just at the point of orgasm, the
outer part of the vagina tightens and narrows while overall the vagina
lengthens and dilates and also becomes engorged
- This is followed by muscular
contractions in the uterus
- During a full orgasm, a woman's
uterus, vagina, anus, and pelvic muscles go through a series of rhythmic
contractions
But luckily this problem is very easily amenable to treatment with newer drugs & advent of modern sex therapy techniques. It may be generalized i.e. absence orgasm with masturbation as well as no coital orgasm also. It can be situational also in which she gets orgasm with masturbation not during sex. In some women orgasm occurs only after very prolong stimulation to wife so that couple is always under pressure to achieve orgasm rather than enjoying the sexual act. This kind of inhibited orgasm is very frustrating for the couple

The causes of sex center dysfunction can be divided into two groups:
2) Sexual Performance anxiety means development of anxiety before sex. Patient develops obsessive concern for her orgasm i.e. whether or not She'll get orgasm. Due to this anxiety She tries to concentrate more on getting it & contracting the pelvic & leg muscles rather than allow it to occur in natural response to erotic pleasure. This performance anxiety can be cured by sex therapy in few sittings.
3) Spectator Attitude: Those women who suffer with absent orgasm, whenever She goes for sexual activity though engaged love making, her brain is always thinking and involuntarily (unconsciously) trying hard to achieve the vaginal orgasm. This is called spying for her own orgasm. So that in place of enjoying the partner's touch, She always keeps spying her own sexual response leading to lack of enjoyment of sexual activity thus\leading to repeated failures in getting orgasm.
These all above problems contributes to repeated absent orgasm. So that in all cases of absent orgasmic patients, after proper diagnosis & treatment of primary cause, these secondary problems also need to be tackled by sex therapy then only patient can get permanent cure. So by sex therapy, the patient is taught how to avoid spectator role and become free of performance anxiety. So these problems hinder her in getting orgasm.
'In most cases, for cure of absent orgasm detailed sex counselling & sex therapy is necessary.
