Sexual Wellness: Why are women unable to have an orgasm?
Women's sexual health is an issue about which they do not know much. If we talk about female pleasure, then about 60% of women do not have an orgasm. A report by Cleveland Clinic claims that only 10% of women have an orgasm the first time and the other 90% need some kind of external help.
There can be many reasons for not having an orgasm. These reasons can range from lack of sexual knowledge to health issues.
Obstetrician-Gynecologist (OBGYN), and infertility specialist Dr. Tanushree Pandey Padgaonkar has shared information related to this on her social media account.
Is it normal for women not to have orgasms or not?
Dr. Tanushree says that this is normal and certainly more than half of the women do not have an orgasm while being intimate. If you are worried about this, then you can contact a doctor once.
For what reasons women do not have an orgasm?
Women feel anxious while being intimate.
In 2018, Valparaiso University of Indiana, America conducted a survey in which it was revealed that anxiety is the biggest problem during sexual encounters. This includes performance pressure and the anxiety of not hurting the partner's feelings. Some people have felt this even during masturbation.
Lack of oxytocin when being intimate
Dr. Tanushree believes that one of the reasons for not having an orgasm is that women do not get the right stimulation. If you are not excited properly, the love hormone oxytocin will not be produced in the body and if this hormone is not there, you will not feel an orgasm while being intimate.
Reminding yourself of a trauma while being intimate
Women also face this kind of problem. Trauma related to a previous relationship or a recent incident can spoil your physical experience. In such cases, you will not be able to feel any kind of happiness with your partner. Being physical is a very important decision for women and in such a situation, if any old trauma spoils that experience, then you will not have the right experience.
The experience of physical intimacy may be affected by any medicine or treatment
If any kind of drug is going into the body, then there will be a problem with your physical activity. Drugs anyway spoil sexual life a lot. Similarly, alcohol and smoking also have an effect due to which you are not able to focus properly on romance and physical relationships.
Lack of hydration spoils the experience of physical relations
Water can regulate fatigue, constipation, and mood. If you are properly hydrated throughout the day, you will be able to perform better at night. Science says that body tissues can perform better due to hydration. It also provides relief from problems like water retention and bloating, due to which your body remains relaxed and physical pleasure also improves.
Apart from this, fear can also be a reason. Women feel that they might lose control due to too much enjoyment. Controlling behavior affects your pleasure to some extent.
