Group treatment of situationally orgasmic women.

It appears that an all women's group treatment program is successful for two-thirds of the women who enter the program in terms of teaching them to experience orgasm with their partner more frequently and in different ways and that these changes are maintained. The program is most effective for those women in casual relationships and relationships which are of a committed or very serious nature but which have not been in existence for over 1 1/2 years. In those relationships that are committed, but over 3 years' duration, results are more mixed. It may be possible that additional conjoint treatment may increase the effectiveness of the program for these couples, but this hypothesis requires further research.
