Women Orgasm Issues No One Talks About: Fix Your Mood and Hormones the Natural Way!
“A woman is unstoppable after she realizes she deserves better.” – Unknown
There’s something quietly revolutionary about women talking openly about orgasms — not the kind plastered on magazine covers, but the real, often elusive, deeply personal experience of it. Yet, when women cross 35 or 40, the conversation becomes even more muffled. Libido dips? Hormones wane? Orgasms become harder to reach? Silence. It’s time we break that.
Why Are Women Orgasms Different After 35?
It’s not your imagination — your body, mind, and hormones are all intertwined, making orgasms a multifaceted experience. After 35, estrogen and testosterone — the unsung heroes of sexual vitality — start their slow waltz downwards. Add stress, mental load, body image issues, and health conditions like perimenopause, and suddenly, pleasure feels like work.
This is the age where juggling career demands, family responsibilities, and the invisibility cloak society drapes on women post-35 all converge. Desire doesn’t vanish — it just gets buried under burnout, expectations, and a hormonal hurricane.
Hormonal Havoc — The Pleasure Blockade
Estrogen Decline: Less lubrication, thinner vaginal walls, and decreased blood flow mean less sensation.
Testosterone Dip: This hormone isn’t just for men. In women, it fuels desire, arousal, and orgasm intensity.
Progesterone Fluctuation: Mood swings, anxiety, and insomnia that come with lower progesterone levels can create a mental blockade to pleasure.
Mental Load & Stress: The Silent Killers
The term mental load isn’t just a trendy phrase, that millennials or even gen-zs use these days it’s a reality. Constantly calculating, planning, and caretaking makes it hard for the brain to switch into pleasure mode. The brain is a major sex organ — when it’s cluttered, desire takes a backseat.
Remember Kareena Kapoor’s iconic character in the cult-classic film Chameli or the eternally super memorable Catherine Tramell aka Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct? Both these characters helped redefine unapologetic female desire in the world of cinema. Uninhibited and nonchalant about their desires yet acutely aware of their own emotional landscapes.
That’s the complexity many women navigate internally — wanting connection and intimacy but struggling with mental and emotional exhaustion.
The Emotional Component of Orgasm
Orgasms aren’t just physical; they’re profoundly emotional. If you’re disconnected emotionally — from your partner or yourself — it reflects physically. Midlife often brings unresolved emotional baggage that creeps into the bedroom.
Mood, Hormones, and The Orgasm Equation
Low mood and anxiety: Affect your brain’s reward system, making it harder to achieve orgasm.
Sleep deprivation: Common in midlife, worsens libido and sensitivity.
Body image: Feeling less attractive can subconsciously block arousal.
Natural Ways to Rekindle the Spark(!)
Ashwagandha: This adaptogen balances cortisol, the stress hormone, helping reset the mind-body connection crucial for intimacy.
Maca Root: Known as the Peruvian ginseng, it’s shown to improve desire and orgasmic function in women.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Support hormonal balance and improve blood flow.
Mindfulness & Breathwork: Being present in your body, through techniques like yoga or breathwork, enhances sensitivity.
Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthen the muscles involved in orgasm, enhancing both sensation and control.
Good Sleep Hygiene: Sleep is the original aphrodisiac.
Emotional Tools: The highly important yet somewhat overlooked steps to better orgasms —
Therapy or Counselling: Sometimes libido issues are emotional more than physiological.
Communication with Partner: Honest conversations can rebuild intimacy and remove performance pressure.
Self-Exploration: Understanding what you like changes with time — self-exploration isn’t just for teenagers.

Closing Thoughts & How Self-Love Can Transform the Female Orgasm:
An orgasm isn’t just a climax — it’s a culmination of emotional safety, hormonal harmony, and bodily ease. When we start treating it as an essential part of wellbeing rather than a frivolous bonus, we unlock a new dimension of health, confidence, and connection to ourselves.
And at the heart of it all? Self-love.
Self-love isn’t just bubble baths or spa days — it’s a conscious practice of tuning into your body’s needs, desires, and rhythms without guilt or shame. It’s about looking in the mirror and embracing the woman staring back, every curve, every line, every story written on your skin. When you nurture yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically, you lay fertile ground for pleasure to return — organically, joyfully, unapologetically.
As Maya Angelou once said,
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.”
That applies in — and out — of the bedroom.
Your pleasure matters. Your mood matters. And your hormones? They just need a little love, care, and sometimes a little help. But it all starts with you — and the way you love yourself first.

FAQs
Yes! Thinner vaginal walls, less lubrication, and reduced blood flow due to lower estrogen can dull sensations, making orgasms less intense.
Blood circulation decreases with age, and so does nerve sensitivity. Regular pelvic floor exercises can help reawaken those nerve pathways.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which suppresses libido and disrupts hormonal balance. The good news? Adaptogens like Ashwagandha can help.
A lesser-known fact: a healthy gut microbiome influences estrogen metabolism. An imbalanced gut can disrupt hormones and mood, indirectly affecting desire and orgasm.
Yes. Practices like sensate focus — guided touch exercises without the goal of orgasm — help reconnect with bodily sensations and reduce performance anxiety.
