The nine deadly sins of obesity and poor blood flow that hinder women's orgasm

Everyone knows that sex has many benefits. In fact, orgasm also has many health benefits, such as relieving stress, reducing pain, eliminating depression, and improving brain power. However, in real life, only 1/3 of women can orgasm regularly, and 1/10 of women have never known what an orgasm is. What exactly prevents women from experiencing orgasm? Let’s take a look at the “nine sins” that experts have summarized that prevent women from experiencing orgasm.

1. Pretend to have an orgasm

A survey found that as many as 70% of women said they had faked an orgasm. However, sex consultant Dr. Knowles said that as long as the woman pretends to have an orgasm, even just once, the man may think that a certain way of having sex is the secret to satisfying his wife and it works every time. As a result, the woman will never be able to reach a true orgasm.

2. Antidepressants

The professor of neuroscience and psychology said antidepressants and antipsychotics have a very strong inhibitory effect on orgasm. These drugs increase serotonin levels in the brain and reduce dopamine levels, a euphoric hormone in the brain, thereby seriously affecting sexual arousal and orgasm.

3. Contraceptive pills

Sexologists believe that birth control pills are a key factor in reducing women's sexual desire. A new study involving 1,101 sexually active women at Indiana University found that compared with condoms, hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills and patches are more likely to cause women to have poorer sexual arousal, fewer orgasms, insufficient vaginal lubrication during sex, reduced pleasure, and less frequent sex.

4. Gaining weight

Experts say that gaining weight can change hormone levels in the body, which in turn affects sexual pleasure. Weight gain can lead to an excessive increase in sex hormone-binding globulin, which in turn leads to a decrease in androgen levels, thus affecting sexual desire and orgasm. In addition, obesity may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which can lead to reduced blood flow to the genitals and brain stimulation centers and damage the neural signal transmission pathways closely related to sexual arousal and orgasm.

5. Not paying attention during sex

A study has found that important areas of the brain go into a "shutdown" state during orgasm. This suggests that if you want to reach orgasm, it's best not to be half-hearted. During sex, various interference factors should be reduced or avoided as much as possible.

6. Genetics

Hospital researchers studied the sexual lives of 4,000 twin women, half of whom were identical twins with similar genes, and the rest were fraternal twins with half of their genes different. The results showed that the "high climax difference" related to genetic factors was as high as 34% to 45%.

7. Poor blood flow

The president of the London Sexual Counseling Association and a cardiologist said that scientific research has confirmed that male erectile problems are closely related to poor blood circulation caused by poor vascular health. Some experts believe that poor blood circulation may also be a female "orgasm killer." Like the penis, the female clitoris requires adequate blood flow, which is essential for female sexual arousal and orgasm.

8. Sexual Ignorance

Dr. Graham says the most common reason women have trouble orgasming is "sexual ignorance." There is a lot of evidence that couples should learn sexual knowledge and techniques to achieve orgasm, which is especially important for women.

9. Getting older

Dr. Maupin, author of "The Mysterious Female Hormone," said that for women, androgens are also orgasm hormones. As women age, their androgen levels will gradually decrease, and their orgasm frequency and sexual desire intensity will also decrease accordingly. Therefore, middle-aged women should supplement androgen appropriately when necessary.
