Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of two sexual therapy techniques, a non-clinical population of 36 married women were randomly assigned with their spouses to either a sexual enrichment workshop with instruction on the coital alignment technique (19 women) or directed masturbation (17 women). Both workshops yielded clinically significant improvements in orgasm consistency during sexual intercourse, orgasm strength, and the overall number of orgasms experienced in partner-related activities. In instances where diff… Show more

“…Laan et al [1] also report that the coital alignment technique was equally effective as directed masturbation, but the cited study actually showed that masturbation was inferior to the coital alignment technique in improving intercourse orgasm consistency [42]. The description of the coital alignment technique approach and results were reported more accurately in the recent JSM review of etiology and treatment of orgasm disorders in women [43] (another review article ignored by Laan et al [1]).…”

“…This suggests that orgasm might be even more rewarding for women, in whom the response is more variable. However, ''orgasm consistency training'' in women resulted in only modest increases in sexual desire (Hurlbert & Apt, 1995;Hurlbert, White, Powell, & Apt, 1993;McVey, 1997). Orgasmic reconditioning often fails even in men (Conrad & Wincze, 1976) and has run into resistance and negative results as a ''treatment'' for sexual orientation (Turkat, Bruch, Kuczmierczyk, & Stechow, 1980).…”

“…Sex therapists have touted the benefits of masturbation for years, including ways to improve orgasm consistency and frequency during intercourse, sexual desire, and even a technique to treat female orgasmic disorder (Hurlbert and Apt 1995;Kelly et al 1990;Zamboni and Crawford 2003). In fact, in a classic study by famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, researchers found that women who masturbated before marriage were more likely to orgasm during the first year of marriage with their husbands than women who did not masturbate prior to the marriage (Kinsey et al 1953).…”
