Emma Khan, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...
Emma Khan, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had always enjoyed a healthy sexual relationship with her husband. However, after two years of trying to conceive through timed intercourse and ovulation tracking, sex began to feel like a clinical, high-pressure chore. The intense focus on her fertile window and the monthly disappointment of negative pregnancy tests gradually eroded her ability to experience pleasure or orgasm, a condition known as secondary acquired Female Orgasmic Disorder. Her IVF specialist, Dr. Chen, recognized the profound psychological impact of infertility on intimacy. She recommended that Emma and her husband pause active fertility treatments for three months and instead begin a course of psychosexual therapy, focusing on sensate focus exercises and cognitive-behavioral techniques to decouple sex from the goal of conception. The treatment was emotionally challenging, requiring Emma to confront feelings of failure and guilt. However, with consistent therapy, she slowly began to reconnect with her body and her partner without the shadow of the fertility calendar. Post-treatment, while not every encounter led to orgasm, the pressure had lifted, and she regained a sense of intimacy and pleasure. Emotionally, she moved from a state of performance anxiety and detachment to one of greater self-compassion and reconnection, feeling more emotionally fortified to eventually resume her fertility journey.
