Abstract
Much has been written about the benefits of masturbation therapy for the preorgasmic and nonorgasmic female. Not only does this therapy often result in orgasmic achievement, but it is often instrumental in the client successfully integrating the genitalia with the body image. Largely missing from the literature, however, is any extensive coverage of the benefits masturbation therapy can have on body integration for the postorgasmic female. This may stem in part from a failure of therapists to recognize that althought a female may be orgasmic, she may still be hampered by a failure to accept and thus integrate her genitals into her body image. Therapists need to be sensitized to this possibility and to explore it with the client who presents with a sexual problem other than absence of orgasm.
