  In trying to identify the cause of anorgasmia, scientists are exploring different realms: the physiological, the psychological and the chemical. […] A likelier culprit is the brain’s frontal lobe. […] Those linkages may account for a barrier to orgasm that Masters and Johnson called spectatoringstaying outside of a sexual encounter to monitor and judge it instead of fully experiencing it. […] The primacy of the mind in sexual response helps to explain a seemingly counterintuitive finding in clinical practice: treating anorgasmia is easiest in individuals for whom it has been a lifelong condition. […] Directed masturbation, introduced back in the 1970s by Julia Heiman, now director of the Kinsey Institute, and Joseph LoPiccolo, a sex researcher at the University of Missouri, has proved to be remarkably effective in the treatment of lifelong anorgasmia.

  Anorgasmia is a female sexual orgasmic disorder in which there is persistent and consistent inability to achieve orgasm after adequate stimulation that causes personal distress. […] Anorgasmia can be caused by psychologic problems. Anorgasmia can also be caused by medical problems such as diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, genital mutilation or complications from spinal cord injury, genital surgery, total hysterectomy, pelvic trauma, hormonal issues such as low testosterone, low estrogen or low thyroid. A common cause of anorgasmia in women is the use of anti-depressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). […] Very often anorgasmia is secondary to both psychologic and physiologic causes. […] Some women who once had the ability to have orgasm develop secondary anorgasmia from psychologic issues such as drug addiction or alcoholism, depression, grief or loss. Some women develop secondary anorgasmia from physiologic issues such as diminished genital sensation, pelvic surgery or injuries, sexual pain, vaginal dryness, reduced sexual arousal, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, medications especially SSRIs and oral contraceptives, chronic illnesses, or low testosterone, low estrogen, and/or low thyroid hormonal states.

Performance anxiety (when you keep on worrying about not orgasming while youre trying to get an orgasm) is quite common in this case. […] Stress and Mood Issues: Anxiety or depression can sometimes lower your libido and blunt physical response. You cant get excited when youre sad or have low energy.

  The present research, examining patients with OCD, focuses precisely on the psychological factors in AO, aiming to frame it more systematically around its psychological and symptomatological profile. One wonders whether a difference between OCD and obsessive traits (OT) is also typical of other psychopathological disorders, and whether these morbid conditions have significant differences. […] The present study has shown that it is obsessive traits and not obsessive compulsive disorder that correlate with female secondary anorgasmia, as presenting obsessive traits in one’s personality profile does not necessarily mean one has the obsessive disorder, as these traits are also present in other disorders, such as in the anxiety spectrum, psychotic spectrum, bipolar disorder, manic disorder, depressive disorder, masochism profile, and dependent disorder, according to the PICI model, and therefore assessing the personality profile is prodromal to the diagnosis of specific disorder.

[…] Neither depression nor a history of sexual trauma appears to directly affect orgasmic ease, although both can cause desire and arousal difficulties.

  https://drserena.com/female-orgasm-disorders/

  Many women experience the overwhelming how to list of questions and the frustrating jump-start phenomena sexually. In fact, difficulty having an orgasm is the second most common sexual complaint worldwide. Epidemiological studies have found the estimated prevalence of orgasmic dysfunction to vary internationally from approximately 20 to 40 percent, and American studies have found that nearly a quarter of women (24%) report problems with orgasm. Medically we call difficulty with orgasm anorgasmia or Female Orgasm Disorder (FOD). A woman may have been orgasmic previously but then lost this ability later in life, which is referred to as acquired or secondary anorgasmia; and many women have never experienced an orgasm, which is referred to as primary anorgasmia. […] When we study women who struggle with orgasmic function, several risk factors have been identified including lower educational attainment, a higher prevalence of mental health disorders, and more importantly a poorer health status. Women with depression are two- to four-times more likely than non-depressed women to report problems in reaching orgasm, and yet simultaneously many medications that treat mood disorders have a clear suppressive effect on orgasmic function.
