In orgasmic disorder (synonyms: Anorgasmia; Dysorgasmia; Psychogenic Anorgasmia; ICD-10-GM F52.3: Orgasmic Disorder) is either the inability to experience orgasm after a normal period of arousal or delayed orgasm.
A distinction can be made between the following forms.
- Primary anorgasmia – this means that orgasm has never been experienced.
- Secondary anorgasmia – in this form, orgasms were experienced earlier
Sex ratio: overall, women are more often affected than men.
Frequency peak: the maximum occurrence of orgasmic disorder is found in the middle years of life.
The prevalence (disease frequency) is up to 25% of women (in Germany).
Course and prognosis: The prognosis depends largely on the cause of the orgasmic disorder. Therapy of organic disorders usually leads to experiencing orgasm again. Treatment becomes more difficult and, above all, more time-consuming if psychological causes underlie the orgasmic disorder.
