Published by 2BOIS Sexual Wellness Team | December 2024

The Hidden Struggle: When Physical Release Lacks Pleasure

Have you ever experienced a physical release without the accompanying pleasure?

You're not alone. Many men face this puzzling situation where the physical act concludes, but the expected wave of pleasure never arrives. While occasional instances aren't cause for concern, persistent experiences warrant attention.

What is Orgasmic Anhedonia?

Definition: A condition where individuals can achieve physical release but experience no accompanying pleasure - similar to any other routine bodily function.

🔍 Clinical Note: "This condition, while under-discussed, affects approximately 8-10% of sexually active adults." - American Journal of Sexual Medicine
