Abstract

Background: Sexual satisfaction among sexually active individuals is altered by presence of sexual dysfunction among both men and women. Aim: This study aims at determining how age and religious devotion predicts female orgasmic disorder in a sample of Jos-North women. Method Cross-sectional design is utilized in this study; participants of interest were recruited using purposive sampling technique: Result The total of 119 samples of Jos-North women participated in this cross-sectional study.Three hypotheses were tested, result of the first hypothesis revealed a significant effect of religious devotion on female orgasmic disorder , F(1,115) = 9.999, p = 0.002 (p<0.05) (table 2); with female orgasmic disorder mean score of 1.868 for those with low religious devotion and 1.603 for those with high religious devotion. Furthermore, result of the second hypothesis did not reveal significant effect of age on female orgasmic disorder, F(1, 115) = 279, p = 0.279 (p>0.05) (table 2); with female orgasmic mean score of 1.757 for older women and 1.713 for younger women.Also, significant interaction effect between religious devotion and age on female orgasmic disorder was not found, F(1,115) = 0.185, p = 0.667 (p>0.05); with mean female orgasmic score of 1.864, 1.872, 1.563 and 1.643 respectively. Conclusion: Authors conclude that, religious institution and family unit with strict orientation towards sexuality need to be revamped, so they could consciously guide their wards to prevent occurrence of female orgasmic disorder
