Clitoral Location in Relation to Sexual Function Using Pelvic MRI: A Case-Control Study

Women who are unable to achieve orgasm compared to women who have normal orgasmic function
may have different clitoral anatomy and different hormone levels. The investigators
hypothesis is that women who have difficulty with orgasm may have a clitoris that is closer
to the vagina and may have higher testosterone levels.
