Death of the Female Orgasm

The number of women with Female Sexual Dysfunction or FSD is staggering. It is not surprising the big pharmaceutical companies are anxious to find a solution they can sell to this huge and growing market.

You have to wonder if the rising numbers of women who report FSD is a new development or is it that women are more aware and comfortable with their sexuality and are speaking up about it now. What is the cause of the sudden rise in FSD and can it be reversed?

Could be it a case of “Viagra envy” to borrow a concept from Freud. On a recent Opra episode, Dr. Christiane Northrup was asked by a woman in the audience if there was anything like Viagra for women. The answer was no. Dr. Northrup went on to explain that sexual arousal is more complex in women than it men.

She explained the need for women to “cultivate” their sexual feelings and to get in touch with their bodies and emotions. Dr. Northrup prescribed a minimum of three 30 minute sessions of “self-cultivation”, a code word for masturbation and body awareness. She went on to explain the need for women to rewire themselves for maximum pleasure and to get their minds, their bodies and their clitorises connected.

Why is this need for conscious connection necessary? Aren’t women naturally wired to enjoy sex and have orgasms?

The death of the female orgasm began with the invention of the chair. Dr. Moyeses Paciornik OB/GYN who has spent decades living among the Caingangues Indians in Brazil believes the use of the chair has contributed to the loss of sexual function in the women of today. The women of the Caingangues tribe never use chairs. They either squat down or sit cross legged on the ground. Dr. Moyeses Paciornik believes this practice plus the way in which the Caingangues women carry loads and walking in rugged terrain is what has made the Caingangues women’s pelvic muscles 3 times stronger than Brazilian women living in the cities. Incontinence in Caingangues women is rare and orgasm during sex is as normal as breathing. The Caingangues women were shocked when told orgasm during sex was rare in European women.

The next death blow the female orgasm came with the end of the real cowboy. In the past the majority of beef was range fed. Cattle raised on the range eating wild grasses before being driven across the country to feed lots and then to market. The beef from these range fed animals was high in omega-3 fat. Numerous studies have shown the importance of omega-3 fat in brain function, including female sexual response. For the past several decades cattle have been raised on corn and grain in feed lots instead of the open range. These grains have little or no omega-3 fats in them and instead are high in omega-6 and omega-9.

Around the same time the population was leaving the small family farm along with its open range fed poultry (chickens roaming around the farm eating grass, bugs and such) and lots of home grown vegetables and going to the cities and consuming the grain fed omega-3 deficient poultry(eggs and chicken) and beef and other industrially raised food.

Next came the birth control pill. The Pill is a major cause of loss of sexual desire or libido in women. Recent studies show a diminished enjoyment of sex from using the Pill to continue for years after a woman stops using it.

Now add the atrophy of the pelvic muscles causing loss of physical sexual response, to the deficiency of omega-3 in the diet causing the brain to be less responsive, to the damaging effects of the Pill and you have all the ingredients for the Death of the Female Orgasm or FSD.

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) can be reversed. Women can restore their natural sexual functions, including sexual desire and orgasm without the use of powerful hormones like testosterone. Simple changes in diet, increasing the amount of omega-3, correctly exercising the pelvic muscles, and removing libido killing substances such as the Pill can revive the Female Orgasm.
