Many forms, one topic
Orgasm difficulties show up in different ways. Common examples include:
An orgasm is not a performance you have to deliver. What matters is whether you would like something to be different.
Arousal is learned
From the Sexocorporel perspective, the way we build arousal is learned. If you always become aroused with a lot of pressure, fast movements or a tense body, for example, you may only reach climax in that one way.
Performance pressure, shame, limited knowledge of your own body or the fear of losing control can add to this. Medication, such as certain antidepressants, can also make orgasm more difficult.
What has been learned can be expanded.
How sex therapy can help
Together we look at how you experience arousal and what is missing. Through information, awareness exercises and small experiments at home, you discover new ways of arousal – at your own pace and in your own privacy.
You can come on your own or as a couple. Sessions take place fully clothed; there is no physical contact.
Frequently asked questions
Is it normal not to orgasm during partnered sex?
Yes, this is common – especially for women. Many people reach orgasm more easily through masturbation than during partnered sex. If you would like something different, sex therapy can help.
Does this affect men too?
Yes. Men can also have difficulty reaching orgasm, or experience it as not very intense.
Are there exercises?
Yes. Depending on your concern, you receive awareness and movement exercises to do at home – on your own and at your own pace.
Is it covered by health insurance?
Sessions are generally not covered by basic health insurance. If you have supplementary insurance, it is worth checking in advance. A session costs CHF 150 (individual, 50 min) or CHF 225 (couple, 75 min); a reduced rate is available on request.
