When couples have sex in a Hollywood movie, it usually goes a little something like this: two perfectly toned people fall into each other's arms and into a neatly made-up bed. The pair then indulge in a few glorious minutes of sweat-free lovemaking and climax in perfect unison.

If only it were that easy for us in real life! In fact, research suggests that 75 percent of women don't orgasm through intercourse, and 12 percent don't climax at all.

How would you feel if we told you that you could train your body to orgasm more easily just by changing your diet? That's what The Orgasmic Diet (Judy Piatkus Publishers, R133), a new book by Marrena Lindberg, is claiming. It's the first ever scientifically-supported nutritional and exercise method to increase women's libido.

"If you've never had a vaginal orgasm, this diet will definitely change that," says Marrena. "If you're already having them, you'll have them much faster and stronger. You can also increase the ease and intensity of your clitoral orgasm."

So what's this magical orgasm diet about and where do we sign up? Marrena says that her easy approach involves just four main components:

- A diet low in carbs that's free from 'orgasm killers' like refined sugar and caffeine.

- High doses of fish oil capsules, found in your local supermarket.

- Regular Kegel exercises.

- Maintenance of the levels of serotonin and dopamine, the chemicals in your brain that make you feel happier, and which regulate your libido and improve blood flow to your genitals.

A typical week on the diet?

25 Kegel exercises - you'll find these muscles by stopping urine flow mid-stream. Tighten and relax them 25 times.
