Many women believe that if they aren’t easily having orgasm, they are flawed. In part this is because for forty years the American Psychiatric Association’s diagnostic manual, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), has defined a lack of spontaneous sexual desire in women as “hypoactive sexual desire disorder.” (Thanks to the work of Canadian doctor Rosemary Basson, the APA is scheduled to rethink this diagnosis in 2010.) It has also diagnosed men with “retarded ejaculation” has having a pathology.
