ORGASM TROUBLESHOOTING People of all genders can struggle with orgasm during partnered sex. There may be one reason, or a combination of many. Here are some common challenges: 1) Not feeling safe enough with your partner... - This goes beyond mere physical safety and speaks to how emotionally open and vulnerable you can be with this person. Can you fully be yourself without judgment? Can you allow them to witness you fully and trust them to hold you with the utmost care? 2) Not enough time spent on build up - Foreplay begins in the way that you engage with each other throughout the day. Build up requires attention, attunement, and anticipation. Then, when physical touch is introduced, the whole body needs to be activated before genital touch occurs. 3) Touch that doesn't work for your body - We all have our unique ways of touching, and sometimes what your partner is doing simply isn't hitting the right buttons for you. Though it might feel scary to offer feedback, your partner probably wants to know how to better please you. Sharing that information can be a huge gift for both of you. 4) Being up in your head - Overthinking is probably one of the biggest challenges for most people today. Whether you find yourself worried about how you're "performing" or if/when you'll reach orgasm, practice taking a deep cleansing breath and reminding yourself to return to the present moment, focusing on what feels good now. 5) Real life not matching your Core Erotic Theme - In his book The Erotic Mind, Jack Morin talks about the Core Erotic Theme, which is a set of defining features in your favourite fantasies. When we spend our private time pleasuring ourselves to one thing, then find ourselves in a reality that looks radically different, this may result in dampened arousal. 6) Embodied shame or trauma - Most of this is subconscious and lives in our bodies. If we experienced non-consensual touch at a young age or grew up in an environment where sexuality was taboo, we tend to carry that in our body, and subconsciously block any sexual feelings. Working slowly with the body while staying within the window of tolerance can help reconnect us with our capacity for pleasure. #sexeducation #somaticsexeducator #somaticsexeducation #somaticpractice #somatics #eroticintelligence #mindfuleroticexploration #mindfulsex #bodymind #mindbody #intimacycoach #sexcoach #sexcoaching #sexualitycoach #anorgasmia #orgasmic #communicationskills #sexualcommunication

Intimacy. How does it land in your nervous system? Can you meet the gaze of another with a relaxed belly and open heart?... Sometimes being witnessed can feel like the most difficult thing. We are confronted by our shame, our stories, our old wounds. We try to wriggle away and hide behind ego defenses and distractions. But if we can breathe deep and keep our hearts open in the midst of our struggle, we slowly learn to trust. And as we learn to trust, the armouring falls away and we can discover ourselves whole again.
