I am a 33-year-old woman. I never had problems with
orgasms until I broke up with my boyfriend several years ago after he cheated
on me. I still have feelings for him. Now it has been three years since I
orgasmed, I don’t feel as sensitive to touch and I am dry all the time. Please
help.
The mechanisms involved in becoming
physically aroused and achieving orgasm are informed by your psychological
state. In your case, there could be some residual trauma or depression after
what sounds like a very painful separation. Simplistically speaking, the body
sometimes tries to protect a person by shutting down sexual responses so
further heartache might be avoided. And when your mood is dramatically lowered
in the aftermath of such a loss, it is sometimes difficult to get back on track
without help.
Seek an immediate evaluation for
depression, and treatment if necessary – bearing in mind that talking therapy
might be a first choice because some antidepressants can affect certain aspects
of your sexual response. Take heart: the fact that you are intellectually
interested in having any kind of sex again is a positive development, and
suggests you might be beginning to move on. The mind-body sexual connection is
a delicate and complex one; respect it, and actively work to kickstart your
full healing process.
