Abstract
To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and maintenance of two group interventions using orgasm consistency training in the treatment of female hypoactive sexual desire, 57 women were randomly assigned to a women-only group, a couples-only group, or a waiting list control group. Controlling for social desirability, subjects were assessed on six variables: sexual compatibility, sexual esteem, sexual desire, sexual fantasy, sexual assertiveness, and sexual satisfaction. Independent assessments were made on these variables before treatment, after treatment, and at 6 months follow-up. Although the treatment was found to be generally effective in women reporting hypoactive sexual desire, a consistent pattern of change favoring the couples-only group was evident on all measures. Possible explanations for the superiority of couples-only interventions are explored in the discussion.
