What is female anorgasmia and why does it happen?

From the

Teknon Medical Center

they define

female anorgasmia

as "the absence or

excessive delay

of orgasm, persistently

or

recurrently

,

after a phase of excitement considered normal."

"The woman does not experience the orgasmic discharge and remains in a more or less elevated state of arousal, despite the fact that the stimulation is sufficient and adequate," adds the institution.

The causes of anorgasmia are multiple and

the Mayo Clinic

points out that they can be

psychological

, if for example you suffer from

anxiety

or are going through a stressful stage, or linked to your

personal relationships

, either due to a lack of communication or trust with your partner.

In some cases it is due to a

physical ailment

.

"Long-term conditions, such as

diabetes

,

overactive bladder

or

multiple sclerosis

, may be contributing factors or complicating orgasmic disorders. Tissue damage from

gynecologic surgeries

, such as a hysterectomy or cancer surgery, can affect the ability to have an orgasm," the clinic says.

Types of female orgasms

Different types of orgasms are often talked about, although some experts disagree.

"There are not two types of orgasm, it is

a single psychophysiological response

. Orgasm

is a reflex

, and like all reflexes, it has a certain range: some people need a light touch on the knee to move the leg and others need a The female orgasm seems

to be distributed

in

a bell shape

: at one extreme, those who have never experienced an orgasm, and at the other extreme, those who can reach orgasm without clitoral stimulation or only through fantasy. this bell are those who need a

direct stimulus

to the clitoris and those who can reach orgasm with penetration (after an intense or short stimulus)", they explain from

Clínica Ment

.

With this in mind, orgasm can be classified into types depending on where the stimulation takes place.

  • Clitoral orgasm

    : this is the most frequent.

    In a study carried out by

    Diversual

    , 66.9% of the women surveyed stated that clitoral stimulation is the most important thing to reach the climax.

  • Vaginal orgasms

    : it is the second most common.

    "When orgasm occurs during intercourse, it does not occur due to stimulation of the penis in the vagina, but through

    indirect stimulation

    of the

    clitoris

    ," recalls Clínica Ment.

  • Some sexologists claim that orgasm can be achieved without stimulating the genitals, either through nipple feeding

    ,

    kissing,

    or

    anal

    sex

    .

Tips to reach orgasm

If you have problems reaching orgasm and you think

it is not due

to any

pathology , we have compiled some

advice

below

.

  • Know your body

    : The first step to a fulfilling sex life is to know your own body and know what you like and what you don't.

    "Exploring your body will allow you to know your sensations, times and preferences," they emphasize from

    El Prado Psicólogos

    .

  • Do not focus

    on

    orgasm:

    One of the biggest mistakes is to focus solely on the search for orgasm, something that can make you obsessed and frustrated.

    "The key is to stop looking for pleasure and allow

    pleasure to come to you

    ," they emphasize from

    Avance Psicólogos

    .

  • Communicate with your partner:

    Once you have practiced self-awareness and you are clear about what you want, you must communicate it to your partner.

    "If it is difficult for you to communicate, try to practice short and clear sentences with which you feel more comfortable," they propose from

    Serena Psicología

    .

  • Change

    your

    postures

    and

    movements:

    Whether you are alone or accompanied, including

    variations

    in your sexual life can stimulate you.

    "Do not settle for the classic variety of sexual positions if they do not give you any results. In the same way that each position can mean different levels of pleasure in each woman, so the type of movements and the speed with which we do them also

    work

    " recalls the psychologist

    Silvia Sanz

    .

  • Do not focus

    on

    penetration:

    If you are having sex, keep in mind that there are

    many practices

    outside of penetration that

    will increase your arousal

    and make it easier for you to reach orgasm.

  • Try new things:

    "Experiencing new things in sex is a way of

    surprising the body

    and

    mind

    with new sensations that will help increase sexual tension. In addition to encouraging yourself with practices or stimulation, including erotic accessories such as sex toys has many benefits" , say from El Prado Psychologists.

  • If nothing works,

    seek professional help:

    "Once a physiological cause has been ruled out, we should ask for psychological help," recommend the experts at Avance Psicólogos.
