This anomaly, for these reasons, may often be confounded with the perversion of nymphomania, where a normal orgasm is induced with every copulation, but where an immediate reawakening of desires, after normal satisfaction, takes place. Through the similarity of the symptoms of orgasmus retardatus and nymphomania great mistakes in treatment have often been committed.
