Women who suffer from Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD)

Women who suffer from Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD), which is another form of female sexual dysfunction, are unable to achieve orgasm despite being sufficiently aroused to have sex. Women differ from men in that orgasm is a learned and not an automatic, response. About five to ten percent of women never have an orgasm through any type of sexual activity - a condition called anorgasmia. Anorgasmia is most often the result of sexual inexperience, performance anxiety, or past experiences, such as sexual trauma or a strict and prudish upbringing creating inhibitions about sex and sexual pleasure. There are women who do enjoy sexual activity in spite of reaching orgasm only occasionally or even never. However, for such women, sexual relationships would be far more pleasurable and fulfilling if they could reach orgasm on most occasions of sexual activity.
