What is anor**smia?
Anor**smia is when a person has difficulty or can’t or**sm even if they’re enjoying s*x and it feels good to them.
It also describes or**sms that aren’t as strong or don’t happen as frequently as you’d like.
It’s a form of s*xual dysfunction that affects all genders. It can take a toll on your mental health, causing distress and anxiety, and can even interfere your relationships. Anor**smia is also called or**smic dysfunction
Or***ms (also called s*xual climaxing) are feelings of pleasure or s*xual excitement that occur after being aroused.
It may feel like a release and involve bodily movements beyond your control.
They can vary in duration and intensity. Some people need more s*xual stimulation to have an or**sm, while others need less.
With anor**smia, you can still have a desire for s*x and feel pleasure.
However, you may feel anguish or emotional distress because you can’t have an or**sm.
Anor**smia in women.
Anor**smia in women (also called female or**smic disorder) is classified into four types:
Primary (or lifelong): You’ve never had an or**sm.
Secondary (or acquired):
You were once able to have an or**sm but can’t now. This is common with menopause.
Situational: You can only reach or**sm in specific situations like with ma********on (self-stimulation).
General: You don’t reach or**sm in any situation, even when you feel aroused or excited.
Problems with or**sm increase as you age, but it can affect people of any age. Up to 15% of women report never having an or**sm.
Anor**smia in men.
Healthcare providers often classify anor**smia in men as a type of s*xual dysfunction called delayed ej*******on or inhibited ej*******on.
This causes problems with s*xual performance and pleasure, often leading to anxiety and avoiding s*x. Anor**smia in men has two types:
Primary: You’ve never had an or**sm or ej******ed for as long as you can remember.
Secondary: You only or**sm or ej*****te under certain conditions.
Ej*******on is a complex process that involves hormones, nerves and organs, as well as your mental state.
A disruption in any part of this process can interfere with your ability to or**sm. Certain medical conditions can also impact or**sm.
Who does it affect?
Anor**smia can affect anyone. It’s most common after menopause in women.
Symptoms and Causes
What are the symptoms of anor**smia?
The main symptom of anor**smia is not reaching s*xual climax (or**sm). Other symptoms are delayed climaxing (it takes a long time to or**sm) or not feeling fulfillment from s*xual climax.
What causes anor**smia?
Many factors can make reaching or**sm difficult. These factors can be physical, mental, emotional or medical (related to a disease or condition).
