  Orgasm is the feeling of intense please we humans experience at the peak of sexual arousal. It involves several seconds of wave-like muscle contractions in the pelvic region, usually as a result of sensual stimulation of the clitoris in women and penis in men. For more on orgasm, read these articles: The Clitoris: New Insights, Orgasms During Intercourse – Improving Women’s Chances, and Six Ways to Help Her Have Orgasms.

  Hysterectomy removes the uterus (womb), an internal organ deep in the lower abdomen. It usually has no effect on the clitoris, which sits on the skin surface above the vaginal opening tucked beneath the upper junction of the vaginal lips. The vast majority of women who have total abdominal hysterectomies can still have orgasms. For more, read: Does Hysterectomy Affect Women’s Sexuality?

  If you’re not sure you’ve ever had an orgasm, you might read the classic self-help book, Becoming Orgasmic. It takes women through a step-by-step process that has helped thousands release the orgasms waiting inside them. The program is based on masturbation. If you have any concerns about pleasuring yourself, I urge you to read: Solo Sex: It’s Fun, Relaxing, and Educational—and Having a Relationship Doesn’t Mean You Should Stop.

  If the book doesn’t work or if you’d like individualized coaching, I suggest consulting a sex therapist. Sex therapists have an excellent track record of helping pre-orgasmic women become orgasmic. For more about sex therapy, read: An Intimate Guide to Sex Therapy. To find a sex therapist near you, visit the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, or the American Board of Sexology.
