Female Desire for orgasm

At times the importance of an orgasm and a woman’s 'desire' to achieve an orgasm can be so overwhelming that all other sensual pleasures from sexual relations are left unnoticed.

The female desire for an orgasm can be so powerful that if a woman does not have one she may begin to doubt her value as a woman. However, for her to only focus on achieving an orgasm as an indicator of success or failure of sex is to negate all other positive sensations connected with the sexual encounter.

The more anxious a woman is about the possibility of not achieving an orgasm, the more she fears not having any feeling of joys from sexual contact. Specifically, anxiety impedes the possibility of orgasm.

The ease of reaching an orgasm as well as the intensity of the orgasm varies widely in different women. Every woman is different and her orgasms differ from one to the other.

Some women never experienced orgasm, about 18%; at the other end of the scale are woman whose orgasmic "threshold" is so low that the slightest stimulation, such as simply fantasizing about sexual themes is enough to achieve an orgasm.

And then some women are not at all sure whether or not they have ever had an orgasm. Yet, most women are capable of experiencing orgasm on their own with masturbation, while others can only experience them with their partners.
