Absence of
Orgasm - Treatment |

There are women
who have never had an orgasm in their
lives, and there are others who just
fail to have orgasms a great deal of the
time. However, today most of these women
can be helped by appropriate sex
therapy. So far the best known of these
therapies is that devised by
Masters and Johnson. In their
intensive short-term program, they
treated non-orgasmic women together with
their partners by means of intensive
counseling and indirectly supervised
exercises.
The counseling aimed at restructuring
the couple's approach to sex and to each
other.
The exercises were
specifically designed to unblock the
inhibited sexual responses.
Obviously, there
is no substitute for individual personal
treatment, and, in this course, we
cannot attempt to offer anything like a
do-it-yourself sex therapy program.
However, for the sake of general
information, we can at least describe
some of the physical exercises that
therapists recommend for non-orgasmic
women.
