One of the most obscure of pelvic syndromes, yet one of the most psychosexually crippling, is traumatic laceration of the ligaments supporting the uterus. This syndrome was described clinically. Five women have been referred to the Foundation for relief of…
The potential for orgasm dysfunction: highlighted in the psychosocial-sexual histories of those women in marital units referred to the Foundation can be described in a composite profile. A baseline of dysfunctional distress was provided by specific material recalled not only…
Both contributing positively or negatively to any state of sexual responsivity but having no biological demand to function in a complementary manner. With the reminder that finite analysis of male sexual capacity and physiological response also has attracted little scientific…
To consider situationally non-orgasmic, a woman must have experienced at least one instance of orgasmic expression, regardless of whether it was induced by self or by partner manipulation, developed during vaginal or rectal coital connection, or stimulated by the oral-genital…
