Is this you?
- You can get and stay aroused but cannot climax
- Climax requires very specific stimulation that real partnered sex does not provide
- You're on an SSRI
What the research says
SSRI-induced anorgasmia is among the most common side effects of these medications. Lifelong anorgasmia is rare and often has neurological or psychological causes.
How tantra approaches this
Address the medical layer first. Then re-sensitize through tantric body-work, vary masturbation patterns, and work on the psychological layer (often hyper-control or shame).
Recommended practices
- Pattern-disruption protocol (intermediate, ~20 min) — Deliberately changes masturbation pattern to break habituation.
When to see a doctor instead
Always rule out medication side effects, neurological issues, and prostate-related causes.
