Orgasm

Welcome to the Orgasm Hour.

I'm Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill here with you today to talk about what comes between arousal and orgasm.

So many women talk about, I'm aroused.

So This is the definition.

As I was sharing with you, we're going to take a look at this.

It's a journal article titled Women's Orgasm.

Cindy M. Meston, University of Texas at Austin, was the lead author.

This is published in 2004.

Welcome to the Orgasm Hour.

I'm Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill.

And today is episode 15, where we're going to talk about failure points in the treatment of female orgasm difficulty.

But in a sense, there's... arousal is both still the physiological response of sexuality and sexuality has been typically defined by our sexual organs.

But what if orgasm can happen without those orgasms, without those orgasms, without sexual stimulation? So what is the field of sexual medicine? How do we change the field of sexual medicine if women can learn to orgasm through non-genital stimulation in order to have a genitally stimulated orgasm.

I mean, these are the kinds of questions that I think about and why I'm here with the orgasm hour is to bring a perspective that perhaps, um, whether I don't know if it has been, maybe I think the word I want to use is I've really synthesized the literature that's already in the field to come up with this orgasmic learning framework that Dr. Jim Faust, who came up with hypnotic induction, he has a paper on women who can be hypnotically inducted, who've never orgasmed, and he is not the first one.

There's research going back to the 1950s In 1970s is I would call like formalized research, but there's papers going back to the 1950s of women learning to orgasm back then if you researched it and it's all in my orgasm library, Female Orgasm Research Institute.

If you go to femaleorgasmresearch.org and go to our resources, orgasm library.

You.

Orgasm.

Ooh, knock.

Kids, kids.

Doorstep.

Ah.

Orgasm.

Ah.

If you're all stuffed up and you don't have decongestant spray, scientists have now linked that action between the sheets, clears out your nostrils with a small caveat.

Orgasms don't just feel good.

They've been shown to offer stress reduction, brain benefits, and reduce cancer risk.

Did you hear that? Take notes, ladies.

He's going to have a lot of work on this.

And then every page is like, orgasms fix that.

Orgasms fix that.

Did you hear what I said, ladies? In the article.

Hello from Florida.

Welcome to the Orgasm Hour.

I'm Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill, and I'm six hours late today.

I mean, I had been living in Italy for the last three months, and I would record at 6 p.m., and today around 4 o'clock, I was like, oh my God, I was supposed to be recording at noon Eastern Standard Time.

However, we will, or in addition, we will also address the larger component of all women, because it can really relate to all women who have difficulty orgasming, regardless of whether they can masturbate and orgasm during masturbation, and not orgasm with a partner, is the number one reason women have difficulty orgasming, is not being able to make that transition.

And I talked last week about some of the research that relates to that, about aligning whatever you're doing during masturbation to bring it along into partner and sex, right? Today's show, like I said, we're going to talk first briefly about the problem and the way it's conventionally looked at.

We're going to talk about my new research paper that actually came out today, October 7th, 2026, titled Orgasmic Learning as a Treatment Framework for Female Orgasm Difficulty Disorder.

And it is a new way with new questions based on 70 years of synthesized research So it has another perspective that I'm excited, really excited that it came out today.

I practice-

Orgasm.

Yeah, in the Xiao Ma head massage video, he's sitting there moaning, and he's like, "It feels like an orgasm." [laughs] And the, the Indian guy's just...

uh, has like an AirPod in, and he's just like fingering the ear with the massage gun, and he's like...
