“A Unique and Wonderful product”
A letter from Dr. Ruth Westheimer
Dear Internet Surfer and Searcher,
I’d like to let you in on a little secret. Despite the fact that in movies and books, women seem to have no problem achieving orgasm (and fantastic, multiple ones at that), the truth is that many women have a great variety of problems when it comes to orgasm.
Some women experience orgarms rarely or never. Most cannot climax simply through intercourse alone but need direct clitoral stimulation. If you are not used to direct way in which I approach this topic, please excuse me, but I am always frank. It’s the best way to communicate. On radio or television, I tell women to seek professional help if they are having difficulties reaching orgasm. In my private practice, the advice I give most often to women is that they have to be able to bring themselves to orgasm before they can expect to do so with a partner (of course, if a women has strong personal or religious beliefs against self stimulation, my advice to her is different).
One therapeutic approach that I recommend frequently to women, who would benefit from it, is the use of a vibrator.
A vibrator used during masturbation can almost always give a woman an orgasm. That does not mean that fingers or running water or other methods don’t work, only that vibrators are more effective. This is very useful, particularly for those just learning how to masturbate.
