According to the American Psychological Association only 8 percent of women orgasm due to penile penetration alone. The reason behind this is that female orgasm is stimulated by the clitoris. The clitoris is a sensitive organ with thousands of nerve endings, located above the vulva and the vaginal opening. It is the stimulation of these nerves that enables women to have orgasms.

Most women are not aware how the clitoris works. For some the clitoris is simply not simulated during sexual intercourse. While other might feel uncomfortable asking their partner to help them orgasm. According to APA reports, most heterosexual women fake an orgasm during sexual intercourse. The reason goes back in history when women were expected to orgasm during penile intercourse just to make their partner happy. Some women need more than just penile intercourse. A little climax and fun is all they hope for, but are too shy to ask.

We’ll discuss the three easy ways to treat an orgasmic disorder.
1. Some women are able to have an orgasm only through masturbation. Penile intercourse does not work for them. Masturbation before intercourse helps them become comfortable with their bodies. After knowing their anatomy, they can discuss the situation with their partners and further include the techniques in their normal sex life.
2. Psychological behavioral therapies are also used to help patients overcome anxiety and relax during sex. Sometimes cultural and religious norms prevent a woman from exploring her own sexual preferences and pleasures. These therapies will eliminate thoughts interfering with her sexual life.
3. Sensate focus is a kind of therapy that guides both woman and her partner through a set of exercises that diverts them from non-sexual to sexual touching.
