WHAT IS ANORGASMIA?
Anorgasmia is a medical term for regular difficulty reaching orgasm after ample sexual stimulation. Orgasm vary in intensity, duration, and frequency.
Orgasm can occur with little sexual stimulation, but oftentimes much more stimulation is required. Some women have difficulty reaching orgasm with their partner, even after ample sexual stimulation.
This orgasmic disorder tends to affect more women than men. Studies assume anorgasmia is far more common in females (4.5 percent) than in males and especially in post-menopause women.
Anorgasmia in men is most closely associated with delayed ejaculation.
Anorgasmia can most of the time in sexual frustration, dissatisfaction, and disaffection towards a partner. Anorgasmia is also known as “orgasmic dysfunction” or “female orgasmic disorder”.
Women vary in the frequency of their orgasms and the amount. Most of them require some degree of direct or indirect clitoral stimulation and don’t climax from deep penetration alone.
Orgasm always changes with age. Your medical condition can affect orgasm as well as the medications you’re taking. Emotions affect orgasm.
