I have been with my husband for three years now and we have been married a little over a year. He is the only person I have ever been with. I have never had an orgasim and I don't know why. Our sex life is awsome I just can't orgasim. And its making my husband feel inadequate and now he doesn't ever want to have sex. What can I do? Are there any positions or tricks? Please help. thanks
Re: HELP!!!
Masturbate.
And, it's orgasm.
I agree with pps. You need to get familiar with your body and masturbate. Only about 20% of women achieve orgasm from vaginal intercourse (I could be off on the %, but I know it's low). So you may need clitoral stimuation to orgasm. It doesn't mean your H is inadequate or you are not normal.
Also, you should try different positions during intercourse. Check out the local bookstore or amazon for tips on positions and try as many as you dare. A different position may result in better g-spot stimualtion for you. Good luck!
You can enjoy sex without an orgasm!
She might not know HOW to fake one though if she's never had one! But yeah, not a bad idea. I know I almost care more about my wife being satisfied than myself some days, it would be a bit crushing to know that she never had an orgasm. Sometimes I'll just give her hers first with foreplay before I even worry about mine. I know mine will come eventually...
I agree, I have really good sex with my husband but I have never had an orgasm. Not just with him but ever. I have been wondering this same question as the original poster. I've heard it's a lot BETTER with an orgasm but masterbating makes me feel embarrassed, even if it's just with myself.
do not be embarrassed to masturbate. it's your own body, and you need to understand it as much as possible, before you can begin to help you husband understand it. getting a vibrator is an easy way to get started. and do not fake an orgasm during sex. that is lying to your man, and being dishonest to yourself too. you can achieve a real orgasm together, but it will take some work and some time. imagine how much more it will boost his self esteem when you finally have a real orgasm with him, and start to have them more and more often!
no this is not he answer faking is never good
If you feel uncomfortable masterbating, pull the covers over you, grab a little lube, lay on your belly, and watch some porn. Might seem dirty at first, but the lube gets you started and suddenly you can't help yourself. The more you do it, the better you get.
One sex therapist that I've read about suggests imagining a ring of fire as you try to reach orgasm. This doesn't work for me, but I've found that watching my H while we're having sex makes my random thoughts disappear. The harder I try to O, the further away I get... that's when I open my eyes. Also, doing kegal exercises strengthen your lady muscles and are helpful when you're 'almost there'. Those are the muscles you use when you're trying not to pee. Do about 30 of those a day, and you'll feel a difference.
I used to not orgasm at all when we first began having sex, just b/c I was concentrating on his pleasure too much to bother with my own. What a waste! Him on top used to be the only way I'd reach orgasm without hand or toy stimulation... but the more we did it, the better we got. I orgasm at least twice everytime now.
