These are common variations and within the range of normal sexual expression.
What causes anorgasmia?
Some drugs can impair orgasmic sensitivity (including alcohol). A common cause of anorgasmia, in both men and women, is the use of anti-depressants, particularly selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or SSRIs as they are commonly known. There are various medical conditions that affect the nerve supply to the pelvis such as multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, and spinal cord injury, but hormone problems, and some chronic illnesses may also affect general sexual interest. Judgmental attitudes toward sex in childhood may suppress responsiveness, as may experiences of rape or sexual abuse, or the difficulty may be related to problems within the partnership/marriage and lack of emotional closeness, which can also cause low sexual desire. Boredom and/or monotony in sexual activity can also contribute to secondary anorgasmia.Research has shown that somewhere between 33% to 50% of women experience orgasm infrequently, and are not happy with how often they reach orgasm. Performance anxiety is believed to be the most common cause of orgasm problems, and 90% or more of orgasm problems appear to be psychological in nature. This means that the difficulty originates in the mind compounded by emotional conflict.
Most women require clitoral stimulation to reach an orgasm, women who have not yet had an orgasm may have Inhibitions of a socio-cultural nature that interfere with normal sexual response or have been subject of genital mutilation (female circumcision) that removes all or part of the clitoris.
