Abstract
Following treatment of six cases of primary orgasmic dysfunction and six cases of secondary orgasmic dysfunction, an analysis of assessment and outcome data indicated that (1) clients with secondary orgasmic dysfunction and those with primary orgasmic dysfunction did not differ significantly in most aspects of sexual behavior before treatment; (2) before treatment, secondary orgasmic dysfunction tended to be associated with a disturbed marital relationship, while primary orgasmic dysfunction did not; (3) following a behavioral treatment program focused on anxiety reduction and sexual skill training, orgasm in coitus was attained by clients with primary orgasmic dysfunction but not by clients with secondary orgasmic dysfunction. Based on these findings, suggestions for effective treatment of secondary orgasmic dysfunction are made.Keywords
