  • Title: [Psychologic study of the female orgasm].
    Author: Walter N.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1987; 109(20):1233-9. PubMed ID: 3425024.
    Abstract:
    In contrast to the physiology of female orgasm the orgasm experience (the psychology of orgasm) has hardly been examined and not precisely been determined. In most cases descriptions of the experience are cited. A standardized procedure to estimate the frequency and intensity of symptoms recognized at orgasm is introduced here. The sample included 422 females aged from 18 to 50 years, among them 25 patients in psychotherapeutic settings and 23 twin pairs. Results show inter alia: large differences in the frequency of recognizing the different symptoms of orgasm (14 have been selected here). Three groups of symptoms are distinguished. A surprisingly low reflection of the muscle contractions in the mind. This problem is being discussed more in detail. What is the actual rating of the contractions of the orgastic ring? Multiorgastically reacting women observe all symptoms more often and intensively.
