An analysis of 17 women participating in a group treatment program for preorgasmic women showed 100 percent success in attainment of orgasm through masturbation within the five-week treatment program. Over 87 percent of the women were capable of orgasm in partner-related activities within eight months posttreatment. In addition, the women showed increased enjoyment of coitus and sexual satisfaction and reported improvement of life in general, sex, communication with their partner, and overall level of happiness and relaxation. Some attitudes toward traditional roles, interest in politics, and a number of body acceptance scale items changed significantly. Increased happiness in the relationship correlated with increased importance of sex, enjoyment of sex, and sexual responsivity. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Significant differences between ‘sexual liberals’ and ‘sexual conservatives’ were obtained for several picture rating dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
