Orgasmic dysfunction is a condition that occurs when someone has difficulty reaching orgasm. Men can also experience orgasmic dysfunction, but this is much less common. Orgasms are intense feelings of release during sexual stimulation. They can vary in intensity, duration, and frequency. Orgasms can occur with little sexual stimulation, but sometimes much more stimulation is necessary.
I can't orgasm during sex, only masturbation | Life and style | The Guardian
I'm a healthy year-old man, but am unable to orgasm through vaginal sex. I could probably get there eventually, but usually give up after minutes, though I'm capable of reaching orgasm while masturbating. I know sex shouldn't be goal-orientated, but I feel I'm missing out. Self-pleasuring as a youngster is an important sexual step; a way of learning how your body works. However, sometimes a person's masturbating style is one that does not easily bridge to partner sex. For example, if a man gets used to a very rough style of masturbation, no vagina will provide the necessary level of friction.
Some facts of life are sad but true, and one of these facts is that climaxing for many women is anything but easy. In fact, a recent survey from Valparaiso University in Indiana showed that more than half of women who struggle to orgasm attribute the problem to anxiety. Plus, because of the complex nature of the condition, other hangups can be heightened during sex, causing a vicious cycle of worry and frustration. Brenner writes in Psychology Today.
Dr Sherry Ross says there has long been a gender bias in the way women's sexual dysfunction has been treated compared to men's. One of the most glaring is female orgasms. Women are rarely taught about the intricate details of their anatomy and often work these things out through their own experimenting.
