What is “Anorgasmia”?

I never knew this, but did you know that the condition of not being able to have an orgasm has a name for both men and women? The condition is called “anorgasmia”, and it affects more women than men of course. Women are just different creatures when it comes to achieving orgasm.

Women are only affected by a few external stimuli when they become sexually aroused, where as men are stimulated by several different external stimuli when they become sexually aroused, and then orgasm. Because women really need everything to be “just right” to orgasm, they experience difficulty in achieving orgasm and sustaining them much more often than men.

Not only that, women need to be stimulated for a longer period of time and more intensely than most men know when they’re in the sack. An example of how much easier it is for men to achieve orgasm is in this fact : even men with their prostate removed or part of it missing can still orgasm.

This goes to show the natural predisposition for men to experience orgasms more easily than women, and perhaps it is by design to make men more ready and able to procreate when necessary.

Like men, women can also be affected in their ability to orgasm if they are taking prescription antidepressants, or if they suffer from low testosterone levels. Once a woman is infused with more testosterone, or starts taking prescription medications like Cialis, which can bump testosterone up, they usually have an easier time reaching physical orgasm peaks.

Testosterone levels which are too low also can result in difficulties with initial sexual arousal, and most often testosterone treatments can also restore ability for sexual arousal to take place more easily.
