Table 65-2 DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for female orgasmic disorder

A. Persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a
normal sexual excitement phase. Women exhibit wide variability in the
type or intensity of stimulation that triggers orgasm. The diagnosis of
female orgasmic disorder should be based on the clinician's judgment
that the woman's orgasmic capacity is less than would be reasonable for
her age, sexual experience, and the adequacy of sexual stimulation she
receives.
B. The disturbance causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
C.
The orgasmic dysfunction is not better accounted for by another Axis I
disorder (except another sexual dysfunction) and is not due exclusively
to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of
abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition.
