replies: text: When case studies are properly crafted, as Sank's were, they constitute empirical evidence, not anecdotes.  I must have missed the article about Bartlik & Goldstein denouncing my citation of them.  Three or four articles is actually not a small amount of work on a topic.  AIDS was established as a disease based on a case study of three people.  I repeat that an atypical (esp. prone) masturbatory style is not a point of dispute in the health community.

text: I think that due to the lifestyle constraints of spending so much time editing Wikipedia, some people here are considerably experienced wankers who may be biasing this article with their own POV (I speak from experience). Therefore it is perhaps even more important than ever that any claims made here be backed up by adequate sources. -Ok, joking aside now-
It seems that there actually is a school of thought which maintains masturbatory technique as a factor, in relation to associative psychology, in achieving orgasm through intercourse. So surely the correct way for this to be included in this entry is to present it as a theory rather than an established and untontested fact. --JamesTheNumberless 10:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Role of masturbation

message: The Primary Anorgasmia section mentions a partner who has primary or secondary difficulty in achieving an erection. Should this be a link to Erectile Dysfunction? I had guessed so, but I don't see any reference in that article to primary v. secondary, and this isn't an area in which I claim any knowledge. Hv 23:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erectile dysfunction? 

message: I've removed two unsubstantiated claims from this page: first, the claim that anorgasmia dissipates for SSRI-users over time, and, second, the claim that anorgasmia can persist permanently after SSRI use has stopped. Unless a reputable source can be found backing these claims, they shouldn't be here. My psychiatrist directly contradicted them when I talked to her about these issues, dispelling them as common misconceptions about the SSRI drugs. Please do not add them back to this page unless a reputable source can be found to support them.
::I've taken SSRIs for about 10 years, and I cannot live without them, but it still takes me about 10 minutes MINIMUM to ejaculate while masturbation (with a woman, my record short time is about 45 minutes of intercourse.)  It can take up to 2 hours and 45 minutes to masturbate, and over three hours with a woman.
::Well, I can say from experience 2 things...  First off, time doesn't diminsh the symptoms in me, and I've never seen any proof that it does for many, if not anyone.  Second, I went off the drugs once to change from one to another, and it took me about 30 seconds to masturbate (I was a virgin back then).  Well, I can say that discontinuing the drug does give you back what you lost, and as far as I know, that's supposedly a pretty common fact.  I will try to get you a ref.  I'm sure for some people, the drug's effect does diminish over time, but I don't think it's common.  But we should ref all medical facts, and they are easy to ref anyhow.

replies: text: ReignMan writes, "Well, I can say that discontinuing the drug does give you back what you lost, and as far as I know, that's supposedly a pretty common fact."  Ability to have an orgasm is common and anorgasmia is not, so we should ignore anorgasmia?  No.  Orgasmic function commonly returns soon after SSRI discontinuation, but that doesn't mean Wikipedia should ignore the uncommon times that it doesn't, regardless of your original research on yourself, study size of 1, or personal body of knowledge ("as far as I know").--71.203.125.108 (talk) 17:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  SSRI Misinformation 

message: "In many contexts, anorgasmia whatever the physical factor can be solved through a mental process of conditioning, and as such hypnosis is a common and effective treatment for anorgasmia."
Um, I'm sorry, but radical removal of the clitorus (in females) and prostate (in males) are shown to cause a complete removal of the ability to orgasm.  I've revised this to be more equivocal than appearing that Hypnosis is a cure-all.

Removal of clitoris (or spinal trauma severing the clitoris-brain nerves) does not automatically mean complete removal of the ability to orgasm.
In the same article it is mentioned that women have for decades claimed loss of sexual pleasure following hysterectomy and removal of the cervix, while the clitoris is left intact.
:Fact still remains that some 90% of patients receiving a radical prostatectomy lose entirely their ability to orgasm.  They are able to ejaculate by electrostimulation, but they can't have an "orgasm", which is not the same as ejaculating.  Hypnosis cannot cure physical deficiencies, simple fact.  It may be useful in overcoming psychological blocks to orgasm which, well, a large number of causes actually fall under.  --Puellanivis (talk) 03:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi. I'd like to edit the first portion of this article. 
First, I think adding the prevalence, 4.7% (according to Abnormal Psychology Sixth Edition by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema), of how often this occurs in women would help those seeking out that information. Adding it in the first portion of the article would give allow people to get that statistic instantly. Second, I'd like to add that it is most common in postmenopausal women. 
Let me know if anyone has any questions!

replies: text: , first you put added "In males, the condition is most commonly related to premature ejaculation." Then you changed it to "In males, it is most closely associated with delayed ejaculation," and removed the fist usage of the source, which you added to support that material. What does the source state? Flyer22 (talk) 03:24, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 A Genome-Wide Association Study of Female Sexual Dysfunction published in 2012 by Burri et al stated that “twin studies have shown a genetic contribution to the development and maintenance of FSD.” The study further elaborated that inherited gene variations contribute to FSD. A study entitled “Genetic influences on variation in female orgasmic function: a twin study” by Kate M Dunn et al found that “A significant genetic influence was seen with an estimated heritability for difficulty reaching orgasm during intercourse of 34% (95% confidence interval 27–40%) and 45% (95% confidence interval 38–52%) for orgasm during masturbation. These results show that the wide variation in orgasmic dysfunction in females has a genetic basis and cannot be attributed solely to cultural influences.”

message: I checked the article linked to this and could not find this fact. IIRC the study mentioned 4% to 7% of women having difficulties with climax, but that is not the same number and not the same thing as never having climaxed at all. 50.39.174.4 (talk) 09:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
