"I've never had an or**sm."

It's one of the most vulnerable statements a patient can make, and one I hear more often than most people realize.

This week's article explores female or**smic disorders, why they happen, and why the right diagnosis begins long before treatment.

This week's article in my Sexual Medicine Series explores the fascinating intersection of biology, psychology, and culture to answer a simple question:

Why do women experience or**sm less frequently than men?

At Haven Center, vaginismus represents one of the most common complex s*xual pain conditions encountered in clinical practice.
