Anorgasmia — the persistent difficulty or inability to orgasm despite sufficient stimulation — is a common, treatable condition, not a "character" issue.
When is it considered a clinical issue? If it involves ongoing, significant stress and has been present for at least 6 months, despite sufficient arousal and stimulation, then specialist consultation is recommended.
Possible causes include hormonal (e.g. low estrogen), pharmacological (a common side effect of antidepressants), psychological (anxiety, past trauma), or factors related to relationship dynamics.
What is the treatment process like? A sexologist usually starts by taking a detailed history — medications, hormonal status, psychological background — and then discusses the appropriate approach: behavioral therapy, sex therapy, or, if necessary, changing medication with the doctor.
The main message is that anorgasmia is treatable in most cases — it's not a "this is how I have to live" issue.
