Information

Orgasmic dysfunction is when a woman either can't reach orgasm, or has difficulty reaching orgasm when she is sexually excited.

CAUSES, INCIDENCE, AND RISK FACTORS

The condition is called primary orgasmic dysfunction when a woman has never had an orgasm. This is the case in 10 - 15% of women. It is called secondary orgasmic dysfunction when a woman has had at least one orgasm in the past, but is currently unable to have one. Surveys suggest that 33 - 50% of women are dissatisfied with how often they reach orgasm.

Many factors can contribute to orgasmic dysfunction. They include:

  • A history of sexual abuse or rape
  • Boredom and monotony in sexual activity
  • Certain prescription drugs, including fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft)
  • Hormonal disorders, hormonal changes due to menopause, and chronic illnesses that affect general health and sexual interest
  • Medical conditions that affect the nerve supply to the pelvis (such as multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, and spinal cord injury)
  • Negative attitudes toward sex (usually learned in childhood or adolescence)
  • Shyness or embarrassment about asking for whatever type of stimulation works best
  • Strife or lack of emotional closeness within the relationship

PREVENTION

A healthy attitude toward sex, and education about sexual stimulation and response will minimize problems.

Couples who clearly communicate their sexual needs and desires, verbally or nonverbally, will experience orgasmic dysfunction less frequently.

It is also important to realize that sexual response is a complex coordination of the mind and the body, and both need to be functioning well for orgasms to happen.

SYMPTOMS

The symptom of orgasmic dysfunction is being unable to reach orgasm, taking longer than you want to reach orgasm, or having only unsatisfying orgasms.

SIGNS AND TESTS

A complete medical history and physical examination needs to be done, but results are almost always normal. If the problem began after starting a medication, this should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed the drug. A qualified specialist in sex therapy may be helpful.

TREATMENT

Treatment can involve education, cognitive behavioral therapy, teaching orgasm by focusing on pleasurable stimulation, and directed masturbation.

Most women require clitoral stimulation to reach an orgasm. Incorporating this into sexual activity may be all that is necessary. If this doesn't solve the problem, then teaching the woman to masturbate may help her understand what she needs to become sexually excited.

A series of couple exercises to practice communication, more effective stimulation, and playfulness can help. If relationship difficulties play a role, treatment may include communication training and relationship enhancement work.

Medical problems, new medications, or untreated depression may need evaluation and treatment in order for orgasmic dysfunction to improve. The role of hormone supplementation in treating orgasmic dysfunction is controversial and the long-term risks remain unclear.

If other sexual dysfunctions (such as lack of interest and pain during intercourse) are happening at the same time, these need to be addressed as part of the treatment plan.

EXPECTATIONS (PROGNOSIS)

Women tend to have better results with treatment if their orgasmic dysfunction is due to another condition. Women with orgasmic dysfunction that is not due to another condition often do better when treatment involves learning sexual techniques or a method called desensitization, which gradually stops the response that causes lack of orgasms. Desensitization is helpful for women with significant sexual anxiety.

Improved orgasmic function is usually associated with being emotionally healthy and having a loving, affectionate relationship with a partner.

COMPLICATIONS

When sex is not enjoyable, it can become a chore rather than a mutually satisfying, intimate experience. When orgasmic dysfunction continues to happen, sexual desire usually declines, and eventually sex occurs less often. This can create resentment and conflict in the relationship.

Orgasm denial is generally used during BDSM and most commonly by women on men, as a mans orgasmic response is much easier to judge and thus be in control of. Orgasm denial is when a person is brought to the point where they are just about to achieve orgasm then the stimulation is stopped and the orgasm is allowed to subside. Then the stimulation is continued, again to the point just before an orgasm becomes inevitable, then the stimulation is stopped again. This cycle of repeatedly bringing the person just to the edge of orgasm and denying them that orgasm is known as orgasm denial. This is sometimes continued for hours and is considered a form or torture because in orgasm denial, the person never is allowed to orgasm. Keep in mind that the person who is receiving this will need to be properly restrained as someone who has been about to orgasm constantly for hours at a time will do about anything to achieve that orgasm. This is not to be confused with a ruined orgasm or a blocked orgasm. A ruined orgasm occurs when the person is brought just past the point where orgasm is inevitable but before the orgasm actually begins and the stimulation is stopped cold, this results in a very weak and short lived orgasm which can be very uncomfortable and the person will often continue to be very aroused afterward, in the case of a man, a small amount of ejaculate may be released but the full quantity of ejaculate is not dispersed from the body, and the erection is most commonly maintained with little or no flaccid period before his body is again ready for an orgasm. In the case of a blocked orgasm, this refers to only men and it occurs when the body is brought to the point of orgasm and ejaculation but the ejaculate isn't allowed to leave the body, usually by means of constriction to the base of the penis and by firm pressure on the area between the scrotum and anus. The body still goes through all the motions of ejaculation but it is blocked, this can be very painful and dangerous as the ejaculate, not being able to exit the penis, can instead go into the bladder, this is known as retrograde ejaculate. One benefit of a blocked orgasm is that if the majority of ejaculate isn't expelled from the body another erection and orgasm is usually possible shorty afterward.

Usually, the more attention you pay to what turns your partner on, the "hotter" your partner will find you. In general, men reach orgasm much more quickly than women, so a man who can delay orgasm until the woman is ready, or who stimulates his partner to orgasm even after he reaches orgasm, will be considered "hot."
