1. A method of treating orgasmic dysfunction the method comprising:

  • identifying a patient with orgasmic dysfunction;

    implanting a distal end of a first implantable medical electrical lead in a first tissue volume of the patient adjacent around or in a left sacral nerve or branches or portions thereof;

    implanting a distal end of a second implantable medical electrical lead in a second tissue volume of the patient adjacent, around or in a right sacral nerve or branches or portions thereof;

    operably connecting a proximal end of the first lead to an hermetically sealed implantable electrical pulse generator configured to provide at least first and second electrical stimulation pulse regimes via at least the first and second leads;

    operably connecting a proximal end of the second lead to the implantable pulse generator;

    implanting the implantable pulse generator within the patient; and

    delivering, from the implantable pulse generator, first electrical stimulation pulses to the left sacral nerve or branches or portions thereof through the first lead and at least the first electrode, the first pulses being provided in accordance with the first electrical stimulation pulse regime;

    delivering, from the implantable pulse generator, second electrical stimulation pulses to the right sacral nerve or branches or portions thereof through the second lead and at least the second electrode, the second pulses being provided in accordance with the second electrical stimulation pulse regime;

    wherein the combination of the first and the second electrical pulse regimes is delivered through the first and second leads in a configuration effective to provide at least partial relief from orgasmic dysfunction.
