Type: dissertation
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationships among women's sexual experiences and attitudes, their level of difficulty with orgasm, and their perception of themselves as anorgasmic or orgasmic. Anonymous data was provided by 208 women via a questionnaire that collected information on demographics, sexual experience, orgasm experience, and attitudes toward masturbation. ANOVA and chi square tests were completed to determine whether significant relationships existed among these variables. Qualitative data provided shed some light on the intricacies of women's self-perception of their orgasmic status. Understanding the variability among self-reported anorgasmia may help in shaping more precisely worded research questions and improve clinical assessment and treatment of anorgasmia.
