Female orgasmic disorder is a sexual dysfunctional disorder characterized by a marked delay in, marked infrequency of, or absence of orgasm as well as markedly reduced intensity of orgasmic sensations. This means that the female has a significant delay, infrequent, and absence of orgasm, and reduced intensity of orgasmic sensations. The symptoms of which should have persisted for at least six (6) months and caused clinically significant distress in the individual.

It is reported that about 10% to 42% of females have orgasmic problems depending on multiple factors such as age, culture, duration, and severity of symptoms. Approximately 10% of women do not experience orgasm throughout their lifetime. Female orgasmic disorder can be lifelong or acquired. A lifelong female orgasmic disorder indicates that the orgasmic difficulties have always been present, whereas the acquired subtype would be assigned if the woman’s orgasmic difficulties developed after a period of normal orgasmic functioning.
