I'm also on anti-anxiety meds right now. The result? I have absolutely no sex drive!! And when I try to have sex with my husband, I don't get wet like I used to and my orgasms elude me (and I'm used to having multiple orgasms every time!!). A sure fire way for me to cum is for my hubby to eat my pussy. That's how I have all my orgasms.</p> <p>For the past many many months, however....NOTHING! I don't self lubricate and I don't cum. Not to mention I don't crave sex anymore (something I always loved!). Is this totally normal for a woman my age? Will I get my drive back once menopause is done?</p> <p>How long will that take? What's a girl to do?</p> <p>K</p> <p>Dear K,</p> <p>Your loss of sexual interest and the ability to orgasm is due to the anti-depressant med you are taking. See if your doctor will lower the dose of prescribe something else. You might consider alternative healing modalities for the common occurrence of menopause. It happens to all of us and many women deal with the discomforts through diet, yoga or meditation and avoid the meds all together to get your orgasms back.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT

definitely going to give your tips a try regarding my anorgasmia. I was wondering though if you or anyone you know of, run a class in the UK like the group body workshops you have videos of. Also I notice that the video prices are in $, can I still buy these in the UK?</p> <p>If not a class, could you recommend a therapist in the UK, as I feel like it might be nice to have the support.</p> <p>Lastly, if I took antidepressants at 15 (gabapentin and amytriptiline for about a year) then for about 2 months ages 23 and then citalopram from 1 year ago till now aged 28 (I am weening off it and no longer suffer from anxiety attacks), do you think this may have stopped me from ever being able to achieve orgasm?</p> <p>Thank you so much in advance<br> S</p> <p>Dear S,</p> <p>I no longer use the word "anorgasmia" as it's just too clinical and cruel. I much prefer the term preorgasmic as any woman can learn how to enjoy her sexuality through the practice of masturbation. Once she gets her orgasm in place, she can share that information with her partner.</p> <p>You can stream videos right off our website. We also sell them on Amazon. Since we are just beginning to certify women to run Bodysex workshops, there is no one in the UK right now doing them. Hopefully there will be soon.</p> <p>Before you seek out a therapist, see if the information on D&amp;R is sufficient to help you grow. Sorry I don't know a therapist to recommend and I also worry they might put you on some meds. It has been clinically proven that these antidepressants block our orgasms. Given your history I suspect that once your body has cleaned them out of your system you can begin to enjoy orgasms. At age 28 I would invest in a quality vibrator and begin learning how to best use it. A good one is the Eroscillator that can be purchased from their website. Go into the D&amp;R website and start reading the abundance of sex information available for free. Give yourself a pat on the back for confronting the meds. You're doing great.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

undiagnosed sexual dysfunction for about six or seven years now. I began a very satisfying masturbation career at the age of about 18. My clitoris was too sensitive, and I've always preferred to stimulate my labia. Sometime in my early twenties, I'd found that I'd lost most of the sensation in my labia, and that persisted until a couple of months ago, when a small amount returned. I still cannot feel enough to orgasm the way I used to (and greatly prefer to), and so, as I'd done for the past several years, I've had to resort to clitoral stimulation.</p> <p>Because of the sensitivity of my clitoris, the orgasms are so uncomfortable as to be almost painful; they also do not last as long as prior orgasms did and feel...very superficial (as opposed to the deeper climaxes I had before). My arousal level has also declined some, especially since I feel that something is wrong with my body, but, mainly, it feels like the blood flow is just not what is used to be. My vibrator has not helped; in fact, it seemed to dull what little sensation I did have.</p> <p>I would like your input as to what I can do to get things back the way they were. The problem started around the time I had a falling out with a family member and was taking prescribed antidepressants, but, aside from a little stress from school and chronic loneliness, I am relatively psychologically healthy now. I eat right, I like my body for the most part, and I don't have any sexual hangups that I'm aware of that would impact my solo sex life. I have only had one real sexual partner in my life, and that was a couple of years ago, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison. In other words, I don't know what I need to fix.</p> <p>Dear H,</p> <p>You are a late bloomer with masturbation, but I wouldn't go so far as to describe you as having "an undiagnosed sexual dysfunction." You have answered your own question: "The problem started around the time I had a falling out with a family member and was taking prescribed antidepressants." Voila!' All anti depressants interfere with sexual functioning, especially orgasm. The med and stress will knock anyone off their game.</p> <p>Also, your early masturbation technique of indirect clit stim by manipulating your labia was bound to change once your vulva got used to it. Read First Orgasm on the website. Even though you've had orgasms in the past, go through this process step by step. Following my suggestions might help you to control the intensity of your clitoral stimulation so it become pleasurable instead of "too intense." Also vaginal penetration and using your pelvic floor muscle often enhances clitoral sensations. But don't compare now with what used to be. Our arousal patterns change as we mature. If not, it's a sign we are stuck in a rut and it's time for a change. I'd check out the potential of using an electric vibrator correctly by softening the vibes layering a cloth and building up very slowly. Get out of your head, trust your body and enjoy yourself with a new love affair.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/paragraphs/templates/paragraph.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-category.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-category.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <div class="articles__categories"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--card paragraph--view-mode--default simple-band transparent"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--title paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Mentions And Related Topics</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/articles/category/creating-sexual-desire" hreflang="en">Creating Sexual Desire</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/articles/category/bettys-rock-n-roll-orgasm-technique" hreflang="en">Betty&#039;s Rock n Roll Orgasm Technique</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/articles/category/combination-orgasm" hreflang="en">Combination Orgasm</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tags--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-tags.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-tags.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Cloud Tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/781" hreflang="en">anti-depressant</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/796" hreflang="en">arousal</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/651" hreflang="en">ask dr betty</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/631" hreflang="en">orgasm</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-blog-comments--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-blog-comments.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-blog-comments.html.twig x field--comment.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <section class="field field--name-field-blog-comments field--type-comment field--label-hidden comment-wrapper"> </section> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig x field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--boolean.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:13:21 +0000 Betty Dodson 1806 at https://www.dodsonandross.com https://www.dodsonandross.com/articles/anti-depresssants-orgasms-arent-same#comments
