Anorgasmia
likelihood: common
What's the scoop?
Female anorgasmia, also called female orgasmic disorder, is when a woman is often not able to have an orgasm or takes a very long time to reach an orgasm even with a normal level of sexual activity.
Anorgasmia can be difficult to diagnose, so usually a doctor will monitor the stress and difficulty it causes the relationship to give the diagnosis.
Can there be different types?
There are a variety of type of female orgasmic disorder ranging from lifelong or beginning at a certain stage in life, as well as ocurring at all times or only occuring in certain situations.
An example of this is seeing if a female is able to have an orgasm from self masturbation or stimulation but cannot during sex with a partner.
Because of these differences, anorgasmia is broken into two sub-types:
- primary anorgasmia, describing lifelong and generalized trouble
- secondary anorgasmia, describing acquired and situational anorgasmia
The disorder is pretty common with around 18-29% of women reporting anorgasmia. Many women have trouble from reaching climax from vaginal sex alone, and it is common to require stimulation at the opening of the vagina near the clitoris.
