Psst—you over there. Guess what? We're going to talk about orgasms. Specifically, the female orgasm. Orgasms are just as important to a woman's health as using dental floss. You want to experience them to their fullest, but you can't do that unless you're in the know about what exactly a female orgasm is, how you reach your climax, and what happens to your body when it experiences one.
Back to Sexual health. Some women don't need an orgasm to enjoy sex. However, for other women and their partners, being unable to have an orgasm can be a problem. They can check for any physical reasons that may be causing the problem. If the cause is psychological, it may help to see a sex therapist or doctor.
