10 THINGS those stopping You from ORGASM..

THE PILL-EFFECT

Ironically, the contraceptive pill has been found to have a dampening effect. A study published last year by Indiana University involving 1,101 women, found that women using the Pill or a contraceptive patch had fewer orgasms and also reported lower levels of arousal and frequency of sex than those who used non-hormonal contraception such as condoms.

But Dr Cynthia Graham, a senior lecturer in health psychology at the University of Southampton and a leading sex researcher, says this is more likely to be down to the Pill's effect on libido rather than on arousal - so the link might be simply because women are having less sex generally, rather than fewer orgasms.
