ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Anorgasmia

Anorgasmia is when people can't have an orgasm, which is a really nice feeling that happens when you like something a lot. It's like when you eat your favorite ice cream or play your favorite game and you have a really good feeling in your body. When grown-ups have sex or do other things that feel really good, their body gets a special feeling in a certain place. This feeling gets more intense and then suddenly it's like a special big BOOM of good feelings!

But some people's bodies don't have this special big BOOM. It might feel really good for a long time, but they never get that big BOOM and they feel sad or frustrated. Sometimes it's because they're sick or taking medicine or stressed or something like that. But sometimes it happens for no reason at all. If they are having trouble having that special big BOOM feeling, they can talk to their doctor who can maybe help them find a way to feel better.
