In addition, sexual satisfaction is a primary factor in marital stability. Because of the widespread impact on both individual well-being and marital relationships, female sexual dysfunction is a significant public health problem.

    SEEKING HELP FOR FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN ALBERTA: A MANUAL KATHLEEN LAROCQUE Bachelor of Education, University of Lethbridge, 2010 Bachelor of Music, University of Lethbridge, 2008 A project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION in COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY Faculty of Education University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Kathleen LaRocque, 2021 SEEKING HELP FOR FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN ALBERTA: A MANUAL KATHLEEN LAROCQUE Dr. Noëlla Piquette Associate Professor Ph.D. Project Supervisor Dr. Toupey Luft Assistant Professor Ph.D. Project Committee Member Dedication This project is dedicated to the many women who were not believed when they sought help for their sexual dysfunctions and the many women were told that their sexual dysfunctions were all in their heads, that they would resolve with time or marriage, that they just needed to relax, that sexual problems are normal for women/mothers, or that women do not need orgasms. This project is also dedicated to those who experience, and especially those who have died by suicide due to, the devastating consequences of post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, post-retinoid sexual dysfunction, post-finasteride syndrome, and persistent genital arousal disorder/genito-pelvic dysesthesia. May you rest in peace, may your deaths fuel a passion for future research, and may we find the cures. iii Abstract The proposed final project addresses the need for a bridge between women with sexual dysfunction and the healthcare available for these conditions. Many women experience sexual function problems but there are significant barriers to help-seeking for these conditions. As systemic change takes time, I aim instead to arm women with information that will help work within the current system.

  • 1 Orgasms Without Bodies Karly-Lynne
    Orgasms without Bodies Karly-Lynne Scott “What kind of thing is an orgasm?”1 asks Annamarie Jagose. “Though orgasm makes itself felt through the materiality of the body, it also exceeds the body’s facticity, remaining itself immaterial.”2 Orgasm is slippery, ephemeral. It cannot be grasped with the hands or the mind. The eidetic nature of orgasm, Jagose suggests, makes it an evasive object of scholarly pursuit;3 for, like pain,4 it resists objectification. As Leo Bersani explains, “the shattering experience [of sexuality] is… without any specific content—which may be our only way of saying that the experience cannot be said. That it belongs to the nonlinguistic biology of human life.”5 For this reason orgasm has been difficult to define, and while a single definition remains elusive, orgasm is generally understood to be a pleasurable experience with a sensory or physiological dimension as well as an emotional or affective component.6 Although the term orgasm was not used to refer to sexual experience until the turn of the twentieth century,7 it has encompassed both physiological and psychological meanings since its earliest usage in the seventeenth century.8 The sexual usage of the term emerged in the medical- physiological context of the twentieth century.9 The historical trajectory of sexological definitions of orgasm provided by Barry R. Komisaruk, Carlos Beyer-Flores and Beverly Whipple in their introduction to The Science of Orgasm demonstrates a continuous negotiation of the physiological and psychological aspects: “The expulsive discharge of neuromuscular tensions at the peak of sexual response” (Kinsey et al., 1953) “A brief episode of physical release from the vasocongestion and myotonic increment developed in response to sexual stimuli” (Masters & Johnson, 1966) “The zenith of sexuoetoric experience that men and woman characterize subjectively as voluptuous rapture or ecstasy.
