Female Orgasmic Disorder

According to scientific research, men are more likely to reach orgasm during sex.  Compared to women, this increased rate of orgasm is due to the fact that a man’s orgasm is driven by stimulation, while the rate of orgasm for a woman is driven by social and environmental factors.  For some women however, the issue goes beyond difficult, and can be a chronic problem.  For those women who have a persistent or recurrent inability to have an orgasm, climax or sexual release, they might be suffering from what is known as female orgasmic disorder.  Female orgasmic disorder means that women are unable to achieve orgasm even after ample sexual arousal and sexual stimulation.   

Recent headlines have pointed to “female Viagra” as the solution to this problem.  For women, having this drug on the market means having the chance to feel the same way a guy would when he takes Viagra, and increase the chance for orgasm.  But as with anything else, drugs should be the last resort.  Even though treating female orgasmic disorder in women may not be as simple as a pill or other therapy, there are certain things women can do in their daily lives to help sexual dysfunction and increase sex drive.  This might not resolve the issue, but it could help make it better.  Here are some tips to increase your odds of climaxing:

1. Relax: Massage techniques can do wonders for sexual arousal particularly if you're stressed, worried or angry

2. Try Aphrodisiacs: Often they are foods that look sexually suggestive like asparagus. Others, like oysters, gain their love-inducing reputation by containing antioxidants and trace elements necessary for good sexual functioning.

3. Exercise: Moderate regular exercise will help improve blood flow to the sexual organs. In addition, exercise helps you feel good about yourself. Anything that improves self-esteem will improve libido.

4. Lose Weight: Being overweight can affect not only your self-esteem and your feelings of sexuality but you're likely to suffer from blood vessel disease which can reduce essential blood flow to the genitals

5. Gingko Biloba: This herbal remedy made from the leaves of the gingko biloba tree, is known to improve blood flow to the brain and sexual organs; it is thought to have an enhancing effect upon desire, excitement and orgasm

6. Stop Smoking: It's well known that smoking can have a terrible effect on blood flow to the sexual organs as it causes the blood vessels to narrow. It also saps your stamina and most people don't like kissing an ashtray.

7. Drink in moderation: By reducing anxiety and stress one drink can help get you in the mood for sex; but beware, alcohol is a depressant, too much booze and you can end up with quite the opposite problem

8. Get on top: Trying different positions will change the feeling of sex and may get you closer to orgasm.  Some women require deep penetration to achieve orgasm, so being on top can give more flexibility and control in this.
