Abstract: (673 Views)
Objectives The quality of sexual function, especially orgasm, is one of the most important issues related to sexual health and fertility. The present study aims to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based sex therapy on orgasm quality and sexual function of women with orgasm disorder.
Methods This is a clinical trial. Participants were 25 Iranian married women referred to clinics of family therapy, sex therapy, and psychiatry in Tehran, Iran who were selected by a convenience sampling method. After obtaining informed consent, they completed the sexual function questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire on orgasm quality. Then, education in about the structure and performance of sexual system and sexual response processes were given to them and received the mindfulness-based sex therapy at 8 sessions before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention. The data were compared using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANOVA).
Results The interventions improved orgasm quality and sexual function, and the interaction effect of treatment and time was significant. Results of MANOVA showed a significant difference in sexual function (F(2,22)=195.95, P<0.0001), orgasm quality (F(2,22)=330.97, P<0.0001), number of orgasms per month (F(2,22)=352.28, P<0.0001) and number of sexual intercourses per month (F(2,22)=183.15, P<0.0001) over time.
Conclusion It seems that mindfulness-based sex therapy is effective in improving sexual function and treating orgasmic disorders in women.
