AB Female anorgasmia, which the DSM-5 defines as a marked delay, markedinfrequency or absence of orgasm, occurs in the orgasm phase of sexualresponse being the second most frequent sexual dysfunction in women.It is widely accepted that drugs usage has devastating consequences onsexual response. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationshipbetween drug use and anorgasmia and sexual satisfaction, and othervariables that can affect sexual response. An ex post facto study wasconducted. Two groups of women were selected through cluster samplingfrom 28 drug rehabilitation centres belonging to the same institutionthroughout Spain: drug-using females (n = 129) and non-drug-usingfemales (n = 129). They completed questionnaires about sexual function,sexual satisfaction, anxiety and sexual attitudes. Female drug users presentedhigher percentages of anorgasmia (13.18%>2.33%), sexual dissatisfaction(34.10%>3.87%), sexual avoidance (47.28%>17.05%),infrequency (59.68%>44.96%) and less erotic foreplay (3.10%>0.77%)compared to the control group. Moreover, higher scores were obtainedin state anxiety (23.82 > 14.56) and trait anxiety (30.93 > 16.95), whilelower scores were obtained in erotophilia (84.93 < 95.81). Female drugusers reported significant impairments in sexual satisfaction, orgasm andsexual attitudes, concurrently with greater infrequency, avoidance andanxiety compared with the control group of non-drug-user females
