Difficulty Having an Orgasm? Try these 5 tips
Here are 5 steps that can help if you are having a difficult time achieving an orgasm.
Sex After Trauma
Sex after trauma can be painful, scary, and re-traumatizig. Here are some helpful tips to re-process painful emotions and get you back to having orgasmic sex that you deserve.
Dyspareunia
Dyspareunia is the fancy word for pain with sexual intercourse. Most often this occurs in women, although it can still happen with men. Typically this pain occurs with vaginal penetration. The Vagician can help with all types of pain with intercourse, but for simplicity and commonality we will focus on pain with vaginal penetration.
Pelvic Pain
After any sort of trauma to this area, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) typically want to protect you, so they will tighten up and go into a spastic state. This can lead to consistent pain that doesn’t have much of a rhyme or reason as to when or why it is occuring. Pelvic floor therapists can help retrain the muscles to lengthen, relax, and decrease the spasms.
