Lack of orgasms

3 replies

CM97 · 02/04/2024 08:09

So I'm 52 years old, on HRT, and been in a relationship for almost a year. We get on well and have a good relationship. Sex is good, plenty of desire but my ability to orgasm has diminished quite significantly over the last few months. It's not causing any issues other than frustration on my side, I don't feel pressured but would like them back!

Any suggestions?

Can you make yourself orgasm? You might just need to employ some new tactics.

Were you on hormonal contraception earlier in life, and if so, were you able to orgasm then? I have found that being on the pill over time makes it significantly more difficult to orgasm, so it might be related to estrogen issues.

If you're on HRT it might be worth speaking to them to try a different formulation/product if you think that might be having an effect.

It does sound hormone related, you could try a different hrt or add in some oestrogen cream ( Ovestin) which is applied topically. Your GP may also agree to prescribe testosterone to boost libido/ response.
