Whether or not a woman who has undergone FGC can achieve an orgasm, especially those who have had their clitoris excised, is a question that tends to have more than one answer. Hanny Lightfoot-Klein traveled throughout The Sudan (where Type III is the prevalent form of FGC, ~90%) in the early 1980s asking women who had FGC this very question: "How often do you experience orgasm?" following sexual intercourse with their husband.[29] Most of the women she interviewed not only insisted that they did achieve orgasm, ranging from 90% of the time when they were young to 10% of the time once they had children, but were very open to talking about their experiences and thought it was amusing. They were able to describe in great detail exactly what an orgasm meant to them, often alluding to feeling like electricity had entered their bodies, or being unable to move for some time afterwards

I feel as if I am trembling in my belly. It feels like electric shock going around my body - very sweet and pleasurable. When it finishes, I feel as if I want to faint.

I feel as if I have had a shot of morphine. My body vibrates all over. Then I feel shocked and cannot move. At the end, I relax all over.

I feel as if I am losing consciousness, and I seem to love him most intensely at that moment. I tremble all over. My vagina contracts strongly, and I have a feeling of great joy. Then I relax all over, and I am so happy to be alive and to be married to my husband.

– Patient

Sometimes women would describe feelings of numbness and heart palpitations, which sounded more like anxiety attacks. Women who had undergone infibulation, the most extreme form of FGC, reported having both internal and external feelings of pleasure. About one-third of women interviewed said they experience some sexual sensitivity at the area of their scar as well as internally, whilst others reported only internally or only externally. In general women with Type III FGC experienced strong to very weak orgasms, depending on the severity of the procedure. There were also women who did not enjoy sex at all, as it was too painful or did not leave them with any feelings.

(and of course many women with an intact clitoris don't enjoy sex...)
