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.
