Orgasms<\/a> can be tricky, and sometimes they\u2019re hard to achieve. Very often the lack of an orgasm, especially for people with a vulva, is excused by the partners\u2019 lack of effort or skills in the sexual pleasure department. However, sometimes a problem lies deeper, and you might actually be suffering from anorgasmia. Get Flure<\/a> supportive guide on how to recognize your condition and how to treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is anorgasmia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with the term anorgasmia, it comes from the medical field and refers to a condition where the person is unable to have an orgasm, regardless of what they try in bed and how long they are stimulated for. We predominantly see anorgasmia in women, but this is a known issue for male part of the population as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of anorgasmia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are four types of anorgasmia known today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary anorgasmia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When someone is born with a congenital issue, sometimes it prevents them from ever achieving an orgasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondary anorgasmia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a condition when someone was successful in reaching orgasms before but lost it later in life due to medical reasons, both physical and mental. Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: Sometimes the secondary anorgasmia is provoked not by the medical condition as such, but by the drugs that are prescribed as a treatment, so if someone\u2019s feeling that their orgasms changed ever since their medical condition altered, they might need to talk to their doctor about possible medication alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situational anorgasmia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This type of anorgasmia is arguably the best of the possible ones because with it you can experience orgasm, although only under certain conditions. For example, through masturbation<\/a> or vaginal sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of anorgasmia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several reasons for anorgasmia to develop, and there is still not enough research, so our knowledge is limited. However, here are the main causes of this unpleasant issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menopause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When a female reaches menopause age, a lot starts to change in the body. Unfortunately, one of the side effects is losing your orgasm. We know ladies, it\u2019s really not fair! It\u2019s believed that the estrogen level drop, typical for menopause, is to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delayed ejaculation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anorgasmia in men is often a byproduct of delayed ejaculation (DE) when a man can\u2019t reach an orgasm for an extended period of time. DE is not a dysfunction but rather a result of stress, medication they\u2019re taking, neurological or other medical issues. In any case, if a man is having sex and getting to the O-town takes forever, he can lose the momentum and end the act orgasmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s likely that we don\u2019t know even half the truth about anorgasmia, its origin, and the best ways of treatment yet. However, we have a rather good understanding of what diseases can be a symptom or a cause of anorgasmia. If you\u2019d like to get the full list, it\u2019s best to reach out to your local doctor, but here are some of the conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
