The difficulty or inability to achieve orgasm, despite stimulation and the presence of arousal, is otherwise called 'anorgasm'. Achieving maximum sexual pleasure is not always possible and the causes for this are numerous. This concern is present in both sexes, both men and women, although statistics show that anorgasm is more common in women.

Anorgasmia is often encountered during sexual intercourse between two partners, although orgasm can be achieved through other practices, such as masturbation. There are also cases where individuals do not achieve orgasm at all and often have not achieved it until now.

The origin of this problem is not completely clear even to doctors, however, there are several factors that influence the appearance of this disorder. They are divided into three groups: Psychological, relational, and biological causes.

The most common causes are:

Anxiety about the success of sexual intercourse: this anticipatory anxiety damages or limits intimacy with your partner.

Relationship with the body: it is possible that anorgasmia comes about due to personal inhibition, which can be provoked by insecurity and lack of self-confidence.

Psychological blockages that can arise because the person has been a victim of sexual violence in the past, which can also lead to loss of feelings.

Lack of clitoral stimulation: Women feel embarrassed and ashamed to express this need of theirs and often tend to avoid discussing this topic.

An unsuitable couple: Very often anorgasmia is also associated with a specific partner because this has not happened to the partner with other partners.

The use of narcotic substances and antidepressants also has an impact on the inability to achieve orgasm and can have an inhibitory effect on it.

Excessive self-control: in this case, those most likely to suffer are harsh/self-critical people who find it difficult to let themselves be free to enjoy these emotional moments.
