What to do if you're having trouble reaching orgasm

Many people think that only women have to fake an orgasm. Indeed, ladies sometimes have difficulties reaching orgasm during sex. In fact, men also experience this kind of trouble. That was confirmed by a recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Sexual Medicine. It was revealed that only in 80% of cases men experience an orgasm. Sexologists believe that anorgasmia can lead to serious nervous system disorders.

If you are happened to be among the 20% of the "lucky" ones who can't have an orgasm for whatever reason there is, you should give a try to the following:

Recognize the problem

Be honest with yourself. That might not be an easy one. But only by acknowledging the problem you can figure out the cause and find a solution. Analyze the case. How often do you fail to reach orgasm? Have you always experienced similar difficulties or only with a new partner? What else could have affected it?

Get a professional help

Only a doctor can conduct a thorough evaluation and order the necessary tests. Usually anorgasmia can occur due to taking antidepressants, painkillers, and blood pressure-raising medications. Moreover, the disease can occur against the background of other concomitant diseases: depression, thyroid diseases, hormonal disorders, problems with the nervous system.

Any healthy individual needs sex and the emotional release which it ends with. If the orgasm does not occur over and over again, the see what may possibly happen:

• One becomes easily annoyed. Over time, that could lead to chronic stress or depression.
• A man has a growing state of unease and anxiety, which can provoke other diseases (for example, erectile dysfunction).
• Dissatisfaction with sex affects the partner as well. That can lead to conflicts and even the end of a relationship altogether.

Get rid of bad habits

Alcohol and smoking decrease the blood flow to the genitals. That can affect how you feel during sex and your ability to have an orgasm. There is a common myth that alcohol increases potency and enhances sensations during sex. And that is an absolute misconception: drinking alcohol reduces the sensitivity of nerve endings contained in the penis, disrupts the structure of spermatozoa and reduces their activity. In addition to that, ethanol accumulated in the body destroys the circulatory system and other organs.

Experiment with masturbation

Often men who experience problems with achieving an orgasm can easily get it during self-satisfaction. And difficulties arise only during sexual contact with a partner. And that is natural, as masturbation accustoms the body to a certain type of stimulation. If you are used to watching porn or using a certain technique, your body will eventually adjust to your habits. Over time, you will simply get more comfortable with simulations that are not part of your usual masturbation routine.

Relax

Tension and the urge to control everything, including the process of intimacy, will definitely not help you get an orgasm. Scientists from the University of Groningen (Netherlands), led by Giannico Georgiadis, conducted several studies of the brain activity of women and men during orgasm. So, both of them had the area of the brain that is responsible for controlling behavior (located opposite the left eye) turned off during the climax. Researchers suggest that this area may be related to controlling sexual behavior. And if you loosen your control, you will experience an orgasm.

Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep negatively affects all areas of a man's life in general and the ability to achieve orgasm in particular. We have repeatedly said what chronic lack of sleep can possibly lead to. The first thing on the list is an increase in the body's main stress hormone – cortisol. That can be critical for men's health. After all, cortisol blocks the action of testosterone, which is responsible for sexual desire, sperm formation and even the mood.

To avoid anorgasmia and get pleasure and emotional release out of each sex, you should give up bad habits, get good night's sleep, and have regular sex. As you can see, everything is quite simple.
