We measured the safety and efficacy of a treatment protocol that includes Orgasmic Meditation (OM), a structured attention training practice conducted between two people who follow a predefined set of detailed instructions. The practice involves one person gently stroking the clitoris of the other person for 15 minutes while both place their attention on the point of contact and notice what they feel. Practitioners of OM have reported that this practice is distinct both from typical sexual engagement and other forms of meditation (Siegel et al., 2022).
Approved by Advarra Pro00061665. The study involved 28 participants (14 pairs), who were recruited based on residence in the Massachusetts area, being in a relationship, and having no history of practicing OM. Twenty-three of these participants identified and scored as having PTSD symptoms (PCL-5 scores >31). Participants were instructed to perform the OM practice a minimum of 12 times over a 4-week period and met weekly with the principal investigator to determine if any safety issues were manifesting. A series of surveys (Daily: Tumescence Survey and OM journal. Baseline and weekly: PCL-5. Baseline, completion and follow up: Eudaimonia assessment, PHQ-9, Gad-7, BIPF, and OM perception survey at) were administered to measure the results.
Orgasmic Meditation showed positive results in persons with PTSD. Orgasmic meditation is safe and may offer improvement in symptoms. OM showed 47 % improvement in PTSD scores Average score decreased from 60 to 28. Average score across 23 participants rate 4.9/5 that OM is safe.
These results suggest that Orgasmic Meditation may be safe for this traumatized population, and may ameliorate symptoms of PTSD. Further research appears to be warranted to determine the efficacy of OM in treatment of PTSD.
我们测量了一种治疗方案的安全性和有效性，该方案包括性高潮冥想（OM），这是一种在两个人之间进行的结构化注意力训练练习，遵循一组预先定义的详细指导。该练习包括一个人轻轻抚摸另一个人的阴蒂15分钟，同时两人都将注意力集中在接触点上，并留意自己的感受。性高潮冥想的练习者报告说，这种练习既不同于典型的性活动，也不同于其他形式的冥想（西格尔等人，2022年）。
经Advarra Pro00061665批准。该研究涉及28名参与者（14对），他们根据居住在马萨诸塞州地区、处于恋爱关系且无性高潮冥想练习史进行招募。其中23名参与者经识别和评分显示有创伤后应激障碍症状（PCL - 5评分>31）。参与者被要求在4周内至少进行12次性高潮冥想练习，并每周与首席研究员会面，以确定是否出现任何安全问题。进行了一系列调查（每日：肿胀度调查和性高潮冥想日志。基线和每周：PCL - 5。基线、完成时和随访：幸福感评估、PHQ - 9、Gad - 7、BIPF以及性高潮冥想感知调查）来衡量结果。
性高潮冥想对创伤后应激障碍患者显示出积极效果。性高潮冥想是安全的，可能会改善症状。性高潮冥想使创伤后应激障碍评分改善了47%，平均得分从60降至28。23名参与者的平均评分显示，性高潮冥想安全性的评分是4.9/5。
这些结果表明，性高潮冥想对这个受创伤的人群可能是安全的，并且可能改善创伤后应激障碍的症状。似乎有必要进行进一步研究以确定性高潮冥想在治疗创伤后应激障碍方面的疗效。
