Anorgasmia, or difficulty reaching orgasm, is a devastating condition that causes pain and frustration for many people. As with anything to do with sexuality, anorgasmia can involve a tangle of fears, aversions and complex emotional issues, often of very obscure origin. Unfortunately, people with anorgasmia often feel too ashamed to talk about it. But it’s important to address any sexual disorder, sex phobia, or anxiety for the sake of your wellbeing, and for the sake of your intimate relationships.

What Causes Anorgasmia?

Anorgasmia is typically put into two categories: primary anorgasmia and secondary anorgasmia. Primary anorgasmia is defined as a condition that’s affected someone for their entire sexual life, starting from their very first sexual experience. While secondary anorgasmia usually develops after a period of normal sexual experiences.

While some causes of anorgasmia are physical, such as nerve damage or certain medications, Some reasons are psychological. Depression and anxiety are two of the biggest culprits.

How Serious Is Anorgasmia?

Worrying about not being able to have an orgasm can ruin the entire sexual experience and, ironically, make it even less likely that you’ll be able to achieve one. People with this problem may start avoiding relationships or physical intimacy, leaving them feeling isolated and unloved. Anxiety, depression, and poor self-esteem are also potential consequences.

Not only that, but anorgasmia may be an outward manifestation of serious buried issues that could do further damage if left untreated. Whether it’s connected to sexual trauma in your past, a breach of intimate trust, fear of intimacy, or an aversion to sex for other reasons, anorgasmia can deeply impact your life. Counselling may be able to help you uncover the underlying causes of the problem. At the same time, therapy may give you tools to start building a healthy attitude to sex and your own sexuality — whatever your orientation or gender identity.

The inability to reach orgasm can lead to serious feelings of frustration, avoidance of sexual situations, and emotional stress.

What Are The Types of Anorgasmia?

Anorgasmia, comes in a few varieties each with its own characteristics:

Primary (or Lifelong) Anorgasmia:

Primary Anorgasmia is attributed to those that have never experienced an orgasm. The condition is present for the person’s entire sexual life.

Secondary (or Acquired) Anorgasmia:

This type refers to a situation where a person who previously experienced orgasms and now has developed a sexual dysfunction. It can be caused by a medical condition.

Situational Anorgasmia:

Situational Anorgasmia makes it hard for a person to orgasm under certain conditions. Masturbation might be the only way to reach orgasm.

Generalised Anorgasmia:

This is the inability to achieve orgasm, no matter the circumstance. Even with sexual arousal and a relaxed situation the ability to orgasm is interrupted.

Just remember, occasional being unable to reach orgasm is not an uncommon issue. Stress, fatigue or anxiety can be the cause. However, if the difficulty is persistent, it might be a sign of anorgasmia.
