On the whole traumatic birth thing again...

From http://www.psychnet-uk.com/dsm_iv/female_orgasmic_disorder.htm :

Female Orgasmic Disorder occurs when there is a significant delay or total absence of orgasm associated with the sexual activity.

That bit's ok.

This condition must cause a problem in the relationship with the sexual partner in order to be defined as a disorder.

THAT BIT ENRAGES ME BEYOND BELIEF.

This reminds me a lot of my recent (about a year ago) Kidney Stone Episode, where I calmly told the ER staff that the pain was unbearable, and the pain I'd felt an hour ago was the worst I'd ever felt and it was worse than that now (while curled into a ball). They flat didn't believe me, and it wasn't until I was actually going into shock from the pain that they started to treat my pain.
