Sex and the damage from Anorexia?

[Mianis]

So, before my ED I was able to brink myself to amazing orgasms, and multiple. As my ED got worse my sex drive went down and it was less pleasurable for me. Now that I am weight restored I still can't bring myself back to the amazing orgasms I once had. And now that I have a boyfriend, the sex for me doesn't give me secual pleasure. It's as if my pleasure nerves have been damaged, and it's really hard to feel any pleasure during sex. I've never orgasmed with him, but I was close once when he used his fingers and mouth. The sex still feels good, just not in a sexual way.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Or if anyone knows if anorexia can damage you this way, and if so will it heal?
What can I do to help make it more pleasurable for me?

Any input is appreciated.

Sorry but i don't have much to say on this, but i just thought that this might be why i've never orgasmed or find myself able to. Hope more people will post something as i'd like to know more too.

Yeah ditto..I very rarely am able to, and it bothers me but it makes me feel bad too, cos the guy I'm seeing makes such an effort to try and make it happen.
I get really close but then it just doesn't happen, and now that I know it's a problem for me, I worry about it which probably makes it even less likely to happen.

Sorry I haven't got any advice Mianis, but yeah I know how you feel.

I think this might be hormone related a bit. I dont think i have too much hormone damage due ED. But i have hormone fluctuations through "medication". When my estrogen is either too high or too low i have erectile disfuction and dont enjoy orgasms too much. Also have to put a lot of effort into getting an orgasm wich i barely even feel when i do get one(when estrogen is too high or too low). Funnily enough female libido is controlled by testosteron i think. Maybe your testosteron levels are too low? Or any of your other hormones. Maybe you are taking medication wich is making it harder for you? It might be embarassing but maybe you could even visit your doctor for it.

It's funny my sex drive is unnaturally low , but when I restrict it's like it kickstarts..strange

I didn't have an orgasm until I was about 20, when I had given up and had accepted that I was incapable of having them lol.

Are you on any antidepressants? SSRIs (zoloft, prozac, etc.) are notorious for this side effect. If you're on one of these, consider switching to something else. I tried both zoloft and prozac and on both I was just totally disinterested in sex and had the same problems that you're describing. I switched to effexor and it's soo much better now. My boyfriend and I are both much happier!

Yes, and I'm going to try switching my meds. Thanks, I'm currently thinking of trying wellbutrin.
