Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spectatoring is the tendency to become a spectator or evaluator of one's own sexual performance, which can lead to distraction and difficulty achieving orgasm. Inhibiting refers to a general suppression of sexual desire or behavior. Anorgasmia refers to the inability to achieve orgasm, which may be related to spectatoring but is a more specific issue. Sensate focus is a technique used to enhance intimacy and reduce performance anxiety in couples by focusing on touch and sensation rather than sexual performance.
