The rest of this article discusses anorgasmia in women.
Two types of anorgasmia have been defined, primary anorgasmia and secondary anorgasmia.
Women with primary anorgasmia have never had an orgasm.
These women can sometimes achieve a relatively low level of sexual excitement and may think of intercourse or other sexual activities as pleasant. They may get most of their reward from touching, holding, kissing, caressing, attention, and approval. However, women who regularly achieve high levels of sexual response without orgasmic release of tension may find the experience frustrating. Emotional irritability, restlessness, and pelvic pain or a heavy pelvic sensation may occur because of vascular engorgement.
Women who have not yet had an orgasm usually have some combination
of the following:
Secondary anorgasmia is the loss of the ability to have orgasms. The cause may be alcoholism, depression, grief, medication, illness, estrogen deprivation associated with menopause or an event that has violated the patient's sexual value system.
Women who are orgasmic in some situations may not be in others. A woman may have an orgasm from one type of stimulation but not from another. Or a woman may achieve orgasm with one partner but not another, or have an orgasm only
under certain conditions or only with a certain type or amount of foreplay. These common variations are within the range of normal sexual expression.
Doctors believe that a woman with situational anorgasmia should be encouraged to explore alone and with her partner those factors that may affect whether or not she is orgasmic, such as fatigue, emotional concerns, feeling pressured to have sex when she is not interested, or her partner's sexual dysfunction.
The same doctors believe that family planners should consider recommending the female-above position for penile-vaginal intercourse, as it may allow for greater stimulation of the clitoris by the penis or symphysis pubis or both, and it allows the woman better control of movement. Bridging is the combining of a successful method for sexual stimulation with a desired technique so that the body learns to associate orgasm with that technique. If, for example, the woman is readily orgasmic with manual
stimulation but not with penile-vaginal thrusting, she is encouraged to combine those two regularly until her body has learned to associate high levels of excitement and orgasm with penile-vaginal thrusting.
Some women are orgasmic but not in enough instances to satisfy their sense of what is appropriate or desirable. Often such women have trouble giving up control and allowing themselves to respond fully. Therapy can be aimed at helping them give up the need to keep their sexual feelings under control at all times.
