Orgasms and How to Have Them

In an age of sexual freedom, many women are missing out on the pleasure sex can bring: 10 per cent of women have never orgasmed and 30 per cent have never orgasmed with a partner. Many more find they're only orgasmic during the exciting first phase of a relationship and lose it once familiarity settles in. And it doesn't just affect the woman; losing one's orgasm or not being able to have one with a partner is a major cause of relationship breakdown. The good news is that the ability to climax isn't due to your genes or your partner's expertise - it's a pleasure every woman can discover for herself and can improve on with practice. Giving insightful advice on how to uncover mental blocks and embrace your sexuality, whatever that might be, counsellor Jenny Hare encourages the reader to let sensuality into their lives and find their orgasm. Sometimes the knack is quickly learnt, other times it takes longer, but the wish to become orgasmic and the willingness to learn is all it takes.
