Get StartedSymptoms
By Mayo Clinic staffBy definition, the major symptoms of anorgasmia are inability to experience orgasm or long delays in reaching orgasm. But there are different types of anorgasmia:
- Primary anorgasmia. This means you've never experienced an orgasm.
- Secondary anorgasmia. This means you used to have orgasms, but now experience difficulty reaching climax.
- Situational anorgasmia. This means you are only able to orgasm during certain situations, such as only during oral sex or masturbation. This is very common in women. In fact, about 70 percent of women experience orgasm only from stimulation of the clitoris, not during intercourse.
