To understand more about orgasm, you may want to watch some of our interviews with relationship and sex expert Dr. Marty Klein:
Also, the wonderful Dr. Deborah Rouse-Raines answered a question from another woman regarding orgasm that I think you will find helpful. You can read the question and Dr. Rouse-Raines answer here: https://www.empowher.com/ask/why-cant-i-reach-orgasm
And yes, it is frustrating to know that Viagra has been around for 10 years now with Levitra and Cialis close behind, while women are still waiting and wanting. But there are two companies that are looking to at least help with the sex drive portion of orgasm.
BioSante Pharmaceuticals out of Illinois has launched several late-stage studies of a testosterone gel intended to remedy libido loss after menopause. And, a nonhormonal treatment sits on the horizon, with late-stage testing well underway. Boehringer Ingelheim's once-daily pill acts on serotonin receptors in the brain, which is the organ most heavily involved with sexual desire. Studies involve pre-menopausal women bothered by a low sex drive. Whether these pills will lead to orgasm is another story entirely. http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/sexual-reproductive/2008/03/27/...
Finally, as Alysia has mentioned, we have forwarded your question to one of our amazing sexual health experts.
