Male Orgasmic Disorder

When a male experiences significant delay or total absence of orgasm following sexual activity, he may have male orgasmic disorder. in order to be qualified as a disorder, the symptoms must present a significant problem for the individual.

The orgasmic dysfunction is not better accounted for by another mental disorder (except another sexual dysfunction) and is not due exclusively to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition.

Male orgasm disorder is often thought of as beginning in adolescence or early adulthood because sexual intimacy becomes related with a negative life event or aspect.

Due to the widely varied sexual response in men, it must be judged by a clinician to be significant, taking into account the person’s age and situation.

Treatment options include sex therapy involving behavioral therapy can result in complete resolution of the symptoms. Sometime intimacy may be issues which can be addressed with sex therapy and also addressing other causes.

Prognosis is variable but can result in complete resolution of the symptoms if  underlying issues are addressed correctly.
