Anorgasmia is delayed,
infrequent
, or absent orgasms (or significantly less intense orgasms) after sexual arousal and adequate sexual stimulation.
The factors that can cause anorgasmia, explained Mayo Clinic professionals, are multiple.
These may include relationship or intimacy problems, cultural factors, physical or medical conditions, and medications.
The psychologist
Mariana Kersz pointed
out that many times there is talk of anorgasmia when what actually happens is a
disconnection between the mind and the body itself
.
"It is essential to access a sexological consultation to identify if what is happening is a picture of anorgasmia or if you do not understand how your body works at this moment in your life," she explained.
On the other hand, the specialist highlighted the influence of the porn industry when generating wrong expectations.
“Porn is scripted, it's a movie.
Probably your orgasmic capacity is not necessarily the same as what you saw in fiction ”, she highlighted.
The influence of porn continues to be detrimental to sexual life in general.

Characteristics of anorgasmia
Mayo Clinic spokespersons said that anorgasmy can be:
Permanent
, if you never felt an orgasm.
Acquired
, if you suddenly start having trouble reaching orgasm.
Circumstantial
, if you only have problems having orgasms in certain situations, with certain types of stimulation or with certain partners.
Generalized
, if you have problems reaching orgasm in any situation.
Self-knowledge, key in sexuality.

Anorgasmia: 3 essential recommendations
Kersz (on Instagram, @lic.marianakersz) offered three essential recommendations for dealing with anorgasmia:
Self
-knowledge : you have to identify well what you like and what are the issues that are taking you closer and closer to those higher thresholds of pleasure.
May your mind be permanently connected to erotic situations
, because if you are trying to have an orgasm thinking only about that, it is most likely that the entire spectrum of erotic and sensual issues that you are experiencing at that moment will disappear.
Identify what you like
so you can also communicate it to your sexual partner.
Treatment of anorgasmia
Possible treatments for anorgasmia include lifestyle changes, therapy, and medications.
From the Mayo Clinic they mentioned that, in general, the treatment of anorgasmia begins with one or more approaches to better understand the body, know what works in your case and change behaviors.
Treatment may include sex education, directed masturbation, and the incorporation of sex toys.
