Anorgasmia The persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following normal sexual excitement. A common occurrence, 15% of women in the United States report difficulties reaching orgasm, while 10% of women in the United States report never have reached orgasm. Anorgasmia is reported in men as well, where the disorder may present itself in the inability for the male to reach orgasm during intercourse. Anorgasmia may result from anxiety, stress, depression, worry, fatigue, guilt, fear of painful intercourse, undesirability of partner and/or setting, alcohol, or use of illegal and/or prescription drugs. Less recently, this disorder was referred to as “frigidity,” or female orgasmic dysfunction.
