There are more factors affecting your ability to climax than you probably realise. In episode seven of Sisters Without Shame, alignment and intimacy coach Nu Davidson has some comforting words for a distressed friend who has never had an orgasm. “You are not broken if you cannot orgasm.”

An anonymous writer from Free State reached out to Sisters Without Shame over fears that there might be something wrong with her. She has never experienced an orgasm in the 19 years she had been sexually active.

Davidson, based in Cape Town, suspects that the hurdle to overcome may be in our distressed friend’s head as our mental well-being plays a major role in sexual experiences.
