I read an article about how some people can be nonorgasmic during intimacy.

Really? I didn't know that was a thing.

That sounds tough; it's important to talk about these things openly.

Root Explanation

Nonorgasmic → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "orgasmic" (from Greek "orgasmos", meaning swelling or excitement). The word "nonorgasmic" means not experiencing or relating to orgasm or sexual excitement.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'orgasmic' relating to excitement or swelling — so nonorgasmic describes a state of not experiencing that excitement.
