What defines Female Orgasmic Disorder?

Female Orgasmic Disorder is characterized by difficulties in achieving orgasm after a phase of sexual excitement that typically includes an adequate level of sexual stimulation. The essential feature is the presence of a delay in orgasm or significantly reduced intensity of orgasms. Therefore, the correct choice directly relates to the experiences of individuals who may have low-intensity orgasms or struggle to reach orgasm altogether, despite adequate sexual stimulation.

In contrast, a complete absence of sexual desire would indicate a different issue, possibly aligning more closely with a desire disorder rather than an orgasmic disorder. Pain during penetration speaks to conditions such as vaginismus or dyspareunia, which are related to sexual pain, not orgasm concerns. Lastly, low libido generally refers to a lack of sexual interest or desire, which is separate from the physiological ability to attain orgasm. Thus, the focus of Female Orgasmic Disorder is specifically on the orgasmic experience itself rather than these other aspects of sexual functioning.
