- Abstract
- I will try in this short introduction to sketch the history of women’s orgasm as an in between existential claim and biological trap of the reproductive function assigned to women both by sexual and biological contract. The aim of this paper addressed to clinicians is trying to set the limits of the medicalisation of orgasm. The issue of women’s sexual pleasure remains a societal challenge although the women movement led to women’s partial reappropriation of their bodies affects. How one should then beyond psychoanalysis, address women public and private affects on orgasm? Can it be defined as a capacity to relate to their body, not according to any form of biological or social destiny but as an existential situation or a singular project?
