I can't have an orgasm - NeedHelp

Hi, I hope I can talk about this on this message board. I am an attractive 28 yr old female, never been married, had 4 serious relationships, been in love twice, and haven't had an orgasm for years! And I mean years! The last time was in college with a "good" friend who thought he loved me. Well, that is another story, but I can still remember my last orgasm. Since college, I've had 3 relationships all of which lasted longer than 6 months. And yes, I had sex with all 3 of them. Despite the fact that they were "hunks" who were, should I say, well endowed, I just haven't been able to reach the point of climax. My current boyfriend is tall, dark, handsome, lifts weights, has a good job and plenty of esteem. He has a great body and is an excellent lovemaker. So why should I complain? Sigh...

We have tried everything. When we start fooling around, I concentrate on getting excited. At first, I am really turned on and the feeling is great, he touches my breasts and goes down on me. That all feels good but the excitement goes away after the first few minutes of contact. By that time he already has his penis inside of me and it basically feels like I'm being poked. It actually feels annoying. Don't get me wrong, it is nothing he is doing wrong, it is with me. I've had tis same problem for the last 2 boyfriends.

I am going crazy! So many times I've dreamed of just having an orgasm that it ticks me and he wonders what he's doing wrong. We've tried all sorts of play-toys and oils, etc... Nothing seems to work. I've never masturbated and have no desire to do so. I am positive that will not turn me on. The thought of it disgusts me.

Someone please help me! We've shared all our fantasies and nothing is working. I really love this guy and I think he is the one. But my sexual problem HAS to be worked out before I think about marriage! One thing that I love best is having his penis slide up and down inside my lips and gently touching my clit. This feels better than anything, but like I said, the feeling goes away after a while. Help me, I'm pulling my hair out!

Hi, your problem is very common. Your trying to substain an orgasm with someone else. This is your first problem. You don't know your body yet. Some women don't discover themselves until their in there fortie's. I know what you mean when you say about masturbating, but, most times that's what it takes to realize what you need and what you don't. If what turns you on is your boyfriend's penis rubbing you then you need to get a good vibrator, this will bring you to orgasm, get the one that stimulates your clitoris. If it's to expensive then buy a powerful shower massager. This item will bring you to orgasm, for sure. Trust me. My boyfriend complains that when he goes down on me it takes forever, but It just takes me that long to relax and enjoy it.

Wheather it be self-consious or not that's what happens to me. You'll find after you get over the fear of masterbating with a vibrator, you'll enjoy it. I myself won't use anything else other then a shower massager. Believe me, it will help you. Another thing is try to stay away from alcohol when engaging in sex. It will take 3 times a long and it will only frustrate you. Try this. Wait 2 weeks after you have had an orgasm with your tool, go to your boyfriend and watch a porno. Guaranteed this will bring you to orgasm when he goes down on you. Last thing, remember very few women actually orgasm through sexual penatration. Most women only orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris. Hope this helps. I know this is quite blunt but what the hell, this is what this site is for. Let me know.

I suspect many women have the same worries and concerns that you mentioned about not reaching orgasm. the line that stood out at me in your post was “I concentrate on getting excited”. To me, this is a self fullfilling prophocy. You get so bogged down in the “destination” that you forget to enjoy the “trip”. When we are anxious and worried about reaching orgasm, we are not able to fully feel the sensations that we ARE having from out partner or ourself.

We are guilty of not KNOWING our own bodies. I think every woman should explore her body and be aware of what feels good and what feels great! Take some time and just relax and run your fingers over your arns, belly,hips,legs and really Feel the sensations. You don’t have to touch anywhere that you arn’t comfortable with....every inch off our skin is home to many nerve endings.

Once you have done this a few times, perhaps you could have a ‘touch session” with your partner. No sex, no genital touching, just sensuous soft kisses, light touches etc. With this type of play, the “worry” about orgasm is not in the picture and you can relax totally. Give yourself permission to enjoy the magic of simple touch. I understand your reluctance to try masterbating....unfortunately, society has had a great deal of influance over a woman’s sexuality from when we were little girls,”don’ touch down there”.

I respect your choice, but I also ask you to keep an open mind re masterbation...it is a wonderful, healthy way to explore safely how “you” work. In fact, as a nurse, we recommend women take a mirror and also know what they nornally look like in the genital area, so that any changes in color etc, are caught early. After all we are all very beautiful because God doesn’t make mistakes:) I hope you find some help here, we are all searching for the same thing in the end.....greater Love. Good luck!! hugs
