Anorgasmia
While 10% of women have never reached orgasm in
their lives either by themselves or with a partner, up to 50% of
women infrequently reach climax. That's a lot of dissatisfied women,
to be sure. So why aren't we doing anything about it? Whether you've
never orgasmed before or orgasm infrequently, there's help out there
for you. It's time that you took control of your own sexual satisfaction,
and find out what it takes to make you happy in the bedroom. Experience
the benefits of the whole sexual spectrum. It should be noted that
lack of orgasm is only considered a condition if it happens frequently
and causes the woman distress.
There are a number of physiological causes that
may inhibit orgasm. In particular, certain kinds of antidepressants
called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause
anorgasmia as a side effect of the drug. It's still unclear how
many SSRI users are affected, although estimates run upwards of
50%. This can affect men as well as women. Far less common, some
injuries or medical conditions may also inhibit orgasm. This includes,
but is not limited to, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries,
and other disabilities. If you think this is a possibility, then
consult with your doctor.
More frequently though, a psychological reason is
to blame for lack of orgasm. This shouldn't be surprising, considering
that sexual excitement occurs first and foremost in the brain, our
largest and most complex sexual organ. There are a number of things
that could contribute. A woman's sexual response cycle is different
from a man's - according to a recent British study that measured
brain waves, while a man is most responsive to the physical aspects
of sex, such as genital sensations, women need to fall into a deeply
relaxed state to orgasm. If you aren't comfortable, or are self-conscious,
you're not in the right frame of mind to orgasm. Likewise, if you're
not feeling your best, in any way, you just aren't going to be engaged
in the sexual practice. Another possibility is that your feelings
about your current relationship are affecting your enjoyment - one
should take this into consideration. Think on if there's any resentment
or hurt that you haven't expressed to your partner - not only may
communication be the difference between good sex and all right sex,
and it will most likely strengthen your relationship. Building an
environment of trust is the prime arena for sexual expression and
enjoyment.
Expanding on psychological reasons, it could run
deeper than simply being distracted. It may run as deep as your
feelings and attitudes towards sex in general. While men from an
early age are constantly bombarded with the message that they should
be sexually active, women are taught the exact opposite. Growing
up, they may internalize the message that sexually active women
are loose or with low morals or self-respect. Or maybe an earlier
sexual encounter has left negative feelings and anxiety, such as
rape or incest. A registered therapist or a support group are your
best bet for healing, helping you to move on and enjoy a fulfilling
sex life, and free of the burden that you carry.
