When Dr Stuart Meloy put an electrode into a woman's spine in an attempt to cure her back pain, he inadvertently gave her an orgasm.

Some women develop this condition, and it may be temporary; for others an orgasm has never featured in their sexual realm.

While the male orgasm is a relatively uncomplicated 'push button response', it has proved much harder to unlock the secrets of the female climax.

Scientists have generally agreed that there are four stages to sexual reaction, starting with the arousal or rising sexual excitement stage. This is followed by a plateau or heightened state – the stage where some women get stuck. For those who do orgasm, the third stage, this is followed by a fourth and final relaxation phase.

During the period of sexual arousal, there are several changes in a woman's body: her heart pumps faster and her breathing gets heavier; hormones such as endorphins are pumped round the brain and body; and blood is pumped to the genitals to create the tension that will ultimately trigger a muscular spasm. This spasm results in the pelvic floor muscles contracting between five and 15 times at 0.8-second intervals – this is the orgasm.

Rather than the simple physical response that causes a man to orgasm, a network of emotional, physical and circumstantial responses are interacting when a woman climaxes. With mind and body inextricably involved, there is far more scope for something to go wrong.

The rest of the article is on the Channel 4 site.

A reasonably interesting programme about women who can't orgasm. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but it looked to me like two of the three womens problems were psychological or just incompatible partners.

Oral sex, never.

Not surprising you haven't orgasmed then, I think she was penetrative sex in the missionary position only.

The other woman almost got it to work, but her other half wasn't helping. He was trying to get her to orgasm while playing with the remote fully clothed like she was a remote controlled car.

I think the giveaway was when the device almost worked. Her words? "I think the doctor has a better bedside manner."

Spinal cord massage, I believe it is an old thing.

The only way to make a woman squelch like running in wellies in deep mud is to try and hit the magic 5 pelvic thrusts a second mark. That is the problem with women not achieving orgasm, the blokes ain't doin' it right.

Oh the folly of youth... You don't go stampeding straight for the five pelvic thrusts a second routine... What's wrong with a little teasing the clitoris boy?

Right, the kids will all be in bed by now, let's hope Ted is too...

I've never had much trouble in the horizontal salsa department: apart from one forgetttable time when I thought I really WAS shagging a corpse - her breathing didn't even get any faster.

Anyway, maybe (and I can foresee a merciless ribbing for this, but I'll say it anyway ) it's because my weapon is only half an inch less round than it is long.

There, I've said it, who'll be first with the punchline?

Eh, why should that be a factor? It's amazing what I can do with one hand...

C'mon, why try automatic when you have the option of manuel?

I felt sorry for the women on that programme... but I did wonder if it was something they just hadn't found out how to do?? I dunno, never had a problem myself.

All this modern man, political correctness. What difference does it make if she has an orgasm or not?

I got the feeling when watching it that two of them would probably have achieved better results with a rampant rabbit and the doctor at the controls.

I think Mrs Rounded Middle Aged Housewife had found a new purpose in life however

Now it could be very good for spinal injury patients, but I think two of them had psychological barriers, not physical.

They should have just left some copies of Cosmo lying around the house at strategic locations for their other halfs.

I'm not sure what the problem is? My ex was a brilliant teacher (just a bit of a psycho!)

That numpty of a husband was a right arse

When he "controlled" her and she didnt reach the bog "O" he said something like

"Its depressing -- er if you let it be!"

Great help

Get the doctor shagged! He'd do a better job

You tell my missus that. She insists on a certain position, which I hate. (I end up with hair between my teeth)
