i know this might sound weird, and is essentially a Google self-diagnosis, but hear me out. i would really appreciate hearing from other women if they have had similar experiences.
I'm a an amateur and newbie (40yr old, squat 60kg dl 80kg, bench 35kg) and ive been training haphazardly over the past three years. But this September and October i got really into it and was at the gym 3-4 a week and seeing very nice progress. in the second month i noticed that i was finding it difficult to get aroused and even more difficult to achieve orgasm. and it felt that i was unable to really relax my pelvic floor. a bit of googling and i came across the idea of a hypertonic pelvic floor (i also do kegel exercises when I'm bored, probably a bit too much..) and some websites mentioned that lifting heavy could be connected with this. of course it can also be stress related, like some people carry the tension in their neck or shoulders, for others it is the pelvic floor. additionally this website *
connects this with orgasms.
i have now been on holiday and out of the gym for almost three weeks and i must say i have pretty much reverted back to normal 😁. i am off course relieved and happy about this.
i guess my question is if any of you ladies have had our have heard of similar experiences?
i understand the stress explanation could be the valid one, but the thing is i wasn't under any particular stress, although granted being on holiday is still less stressful than that.
but i am concerned if lifting was even part of the explanation. does that mean i was maybe doing something wrong in how i lift? or was progressing too quickly? I'm not sure how to proceed when i get back, as i really want to continue lifting - although not necessarily progress much more, but maintaining my current fitness level and body shape would be my aim.
looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
