The term “frigidity”, is now used to include all sexually dysfunctional women. However, the woman who is generally unresponsive differs in crucial aspects from the one who is responsive but has difficulty achieving an orgasm. This distinction is important on physiological as well as on clinical grounds because treatment differs for the two syndromes. The normal range of the female orgastic threshold has not yet been systematically studied. We do not really know what constitutes normalcy and pathology. Therefore die question of whether or not coital orgasm is the only normal female response cannot be settled definitively at this time. However, clinical evidence suggests that orgasm on clitoral stimulation may be a normal variant of the female sexual response.
