Here are some top tips to help you get there:. Go back to basics and start getting to know your body and how it responds. You will need privacy, comfort and time. Love your body. Put on clothes you like — or take them off — look in the mirror and appreciate your features.
Get to know your genitals, using a hand mirror. Learn and practice different techniques to stimulate yourself, then share them with your partner. To fake or not to fake? If you have been faking orgasms to get sex over with, or to please your partner, how will your partner ever know how to stimulate you in the most enjoyable way for you, if they already think they are hitting the spot? Communication is key. Tell or show your partner how to touch you. Everybody is different and nobody comes with a manual of how to turn them on.
Talk about other sexual activities you might like to try with each other. Trust is important so you feel safe and able to let go in the presence of another person. Remember, what porn stars do and have done to them in front of the camera is unlikely to work for you.
Experiment with sex toys and lubricants , reading erotic literature, looking at female friendly porn and thinking up sexual fantasies.
Practise pelvic floor exercises , known as Kegels, which increase blood flow to the pelvis and help you learn to feel and recognise sensations in the pelvic region, giving you more connection and control over it. Your pelvic floor muscles, also known as PC muscles, are the same muscles used to stop urinating midstream or to hold in wind.
Practise by tightening them, then relaxing them in both fast and slow twitches throughout the day not whilst urinating. Relaxed minds and bodies allow for more playfulness, leading to better blood flow to the genitals, more pleasure and probably orgasm. Take turns. If Anorgasmia is situational, it only happens in certain situations, for example, when with a partner but not during solo sex stimulate yourself alongside your partner then gradually try letting your partner take over the stimulation either with their hand, tongue or penis.
Talk to your GP about your medication or hormonal contraception, and consider changing medication. Think about your attitude towards sex. On a deeper psychological level, you may have absorbed negative cultural or family attitudes towards female sexual pleasure. Nan column and in my new book Why Good Sex Matters. In other countries where cultural attitudes about sex are more negative, rates are significantly higher. You may be able to orgasm during certain circumstances—for example, when masturbating alone but not when your partner is present, or not during sexual intercourse.
So what can you do about it? Males appear to have an easier time discovering how to masturbate to orgasm than females. This may be in part due to biology—an erect penis is hard to ignore—in combination with a culture that more readily accepts male masturbation as the norm. The solution: If anorgasmia is persistent, masturbate.
And while you are doing that, Kegel, Kegel, Kegel. Kegel practice can be the single most powerful tool in ramping up the orgasm machinery. Our culture bombards us with conflicting and creepy messages about our sexuality: You should have a perfect body. You should be a sex object.
Learning plays a big role in our sexual dysfunctions. No matter how sophisticated or sex positive the attitudes and beliefs at the top of your mind are, old sex-negative messages and experiences can trigger defenses and prevent us from letting go into the experience. Beyond cultural programming, traumatic experiences related to our sexuality can shut down our ability to relax into sensations and feel comfortable with and entitled to having sexual pleasure.
For example, a client of mine struggled with the ability to orgasm for years that stemmed from something that happened when she was a kid. While taking a bath, her mom walked in and saw her touching her genitals when the soap slipped between her legs and yelled in an uncharacteristically harsh way.
Put that together with a Catholic school education, and what you got was a big, fat orgasm blockage. So staying silent about what really turns you on isn't going to help you climax. Plus, every woman is different, so movements and angles that feel amazing for one person may not do it for another. Seek behaviors that feel good, listen to your body, ask for what you want, and guide your partner in pleasing you. If they still don't get it, tell them directly, or move their hand exactly where you want it.
Everyone knows to pee right after sex to help prevent a urinary tract infection , but it's smart to go beforehand, too. The reason is simple: instead of being in the moment, you're constantly feeling the pressure to pee, and praying you don't do it in bed.
If there's no way you're going to make it to the end, Van Kirk suggests slipping out of bed to dim the lights, lighting a candle, and encouraging your partner to masturbate while you take a quick pee break.
Medications that cause a spike in prolactin levels — a protein that reduces libido — could be the culprit behind your inability to climax, Van Kirk says. Antihistamines may also work against you because they can reduce your ability to self-lubricate and make sex comfortable. If that's the case, make sure you have plenty of lubricant and talk to your doctor about a possible medication switch if problems persist. Chaining yourself to your desk may make your boss happy, but it's bad news for your pelvic muscles.
Sitting all day shortens them, and that can lead to pelvic pain that could make it more difficult to orgasm , says Van Kirk. To prevent problems, she suggests setting an alarm as a reminder to move every half-hour to hour during the work day. Some activity trackers and smart watches will buzz your wrist to encourage steps every hour.
Able to slip into a private office or conference room? Stretch your hip flexors with back bends , squats , and butterfly stretches. Not only are high heels often painful to walk in, wearing them can also have deforming effects on your psoas muscles, which connect with muscles and nerves that lead to your pelvic floor, genitalia, and related organs, Fromberg explains.
Avoid wearing them as much as possible, opting for more comfortable, supportive footwear instead. Too much emphasis on achieving orgasm can make sex feel like a goal-oriented task, turning intimacy into more work than pleasure. If a woman tries too hard to achieve orgasm, then chances are she's missing out on the pleasure and the joy of her own body. According to Ghose, you should avoid the temptation to focus on results rather than enjoy the moment.
