Male Orgasmic Disorder
|
Maybe you're one of the thousands of men who suffer from male orgasmic disorder - that is, the inability to orgasm despite adequate sexual stimulation, or experience severely delayed orgasms. This condition is more commonly found in women, going by the term anorgasmia. While there has been much attention paid to the condition in women, it has remained virtually ignored in men, taking a back seat to other male sexual problems like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. |
While men who suffer from those conditions have overcome their embarrassment enough to search for a solution, those with orgasmic disorder often remain silent. Some men go as far as faking orgasms or avoiding sex altogether. If this sounds familiar, then be comforted by the knowledge that help is out there. Speaking to a medical professional or a registered sex therapist is advisable, as they are the best resource at your disposal. But here is a starting point for you to learn about male orgasmic dysfunction.
Male orgasmic disorder is the absence of orgasm despite sufficient sexual stimulation, we've stated. Sufficient is subjective of course, and things such as age are taken into consideration. The problem must also be persistent - if it has happened a few times, and is not recurring, then it is not defined as an orgasmic disorder. Doctors will also see if the problem occurs only during partner sex, or during masturbation as well. Even if all other symptoms are present, it's only considered a disorder if it causes stress to the man affected. Often those who suffer from orgasmic disorder also have feelings of guilt or inadequacy, that they are not a 'real man' unless they can orgasm during the time frame they perceive as normal.
Male orgasmic disorder may have either physiological or psychological causes. Determining what is causing the dysfunction is necessary in solving the problem. In physiological cases, many diseases could be to blame. Some of these diseases or disorders that could be to blame include multiple sclerosis, Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, or if you had strokes in the past. Medication is another factor to consider. Some medications, such as typed of those to treat blood pressure or certain kinds of antidepressants, can keep you from reaching your climax. If you think this may be the case, your doctor can help, possibly switching your medication that does not have sexual side effects.
More commonly though, the inability to orgasm or delayed orgasms is mostly due to psychological reasons. While we've stated above that certain kinds of anti-depressants may cause orgasmic disorder, so may depression. Also to blame is anxiety, stress, mental exhaustion, or fear, to name just a few. Because most cases of orgasmic disorder are caused by a psychological factor, therapy has proven to be the most effective form of treatment.
After consulting your doctor and maybe a therapist if the situation warrants, changes in your day to day life may help. Consider the habits in your life - do you drink or smoke? Both can cause you to be unable to orgasm, and are also a factor in erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to get or sustain an erection. Exhaustion is also a factor, so make sure that you get plenty of sleep and find ways to relax. A healthy lifestyle, with proper exercise and a balanced diet, may help you achieve orgasm regularly.
