[01]
The speaker recounts her struggle with anorgasmia throughout her 20s, which she attributed to being 'broken.' She describes seeking a sex therapist and receiving a pivotal piece of advice connecting her inability to experience pleasure with being 'at war with her body,' stemming from a past eating disorder. The speaker then details how this new understanding allowed her to have an open conversation about sex during a one-night stand, which ultimately led to her first orgasm and a profound sense of release and healing.

Worst of my twenties couldn't orgasm at all and I didn't think that was even a bad thing. I just thought that I was broken, that there was something wrong with me, tier was something wrong with my bad, that I didn't work the way I was supposed to. And I kind of carried this, I guess, a lot of shame around that. So I started seeing a sex therapist, and the first thing I said to my sex therapist was I very much doubt you're gonna be able to fix me. I really thought she would just give me like a list of like masturbatory practices to do. But tier was one line she said to me that just profoundly changed the way I see my bad. And that was for as long as you are at war with your body, you're going to struggle to enjoy sexual pleasure. Like so many young women, I grew up with a really bad eating disorder. And I just never really thought how my eating disorder might best affecting other aspects of my life. I'd always see my body as something that was supposed to be, like, punished and thinner and in the gym. I didn't think of it as something that I could, like, give pleasure to or that I associated with pleasure. Over the course of couple months doing sex therapy, it began to chip away at the shame that I synonymized with sex. I had a one night stand with someone I'd met on a dating app. I, pretty early on, just spoke about sex. In turn, he also told me his own personal struggles, and it was this incredibly open and vulnerable conversation around sex with someone I was on a first date with, which to me was so novel, but also so freeing, because I never wanted to talk about having sex with a person I was having sex with. It was like, let's turn out the lights, get naked, and make the best of it, and see what happens. There was no conversation about like, hey, what do you like? So we went back to his house and, ended up having sex, and the next morning he made me orgasm. It was great. I'd felt broken for so long, and I was suddenly reminded, like, my body was able to feel this amazing sensation. It was like taking off that body of anxieties that bad previously been so inhibitory to actually being able to enjoy sex. Being able to talk about it makes it so much easier for it to be better.
