Few phenomena in this world are sliced and diced more than the female orgasm: Did it happen? Was it good? Where did it come from? Does size matter? Why did one technique work last week, but not this week?

I had just given a lecture at a singles workshop in New York City when a young woman approached me. She was attractive, thoughtful, articulate, and warm--the kind of woman you wouldn't expect to have "major issues," at least from external appearances.

"I need help," she confessed after a few seconds of small talk. "I'm suffering from OCD."

I stopped her to tell her that I probably couldn't help her. As a sex therapist and not a psychiatrist, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) was not an area within my professional expertise.

"No, no. Not that OCD," she interjected. "I mean that I suffer from obsessive compulsive dating."

Is there really such a thing as "male menopause"?

The result can be andropause, which is estimated to affect about 5 million American men.
