Vaginismus and orgasm

Can a woman with vaginismus be sexually aroused and have an orgasm?

Of course!

Unlike the penis, which is a one-for-all body part (urination, sexual activities), the vagina is not a sexual organ but rather a passageway connecting the uterus/cervix to the outside.

The clitoris - the female’s sexual organ - is located way above the vagina and the urethra… In other words, totally outside of the vagina!

Do women need anything - finger, penis, dildo - in their vagina for sexual arousal? No, they do not. Women can be sexually aroused by clitoral stimulation without EVER involving the vagina.

Had the vagina been a sexual organ, every tampon insertion would have been a thrill… Every gynecologic exam would have been a delight…

Bottom line (no pun intended): a woman does not have to give up on her sexual arousal even if she has vaginismus or any other vaginal concern that restricts penetration.

  1. If Vaginismus had anything to do with me not having an orgasm, I would’ve been a very grumpy lady. I as a former Vag sufferer can deffinitly attest to the fact that my vag had nothing to do with me coming. Thats what kept my boyfriend and I sexually close, knowing we could always satisfy each other even without penatration.
