Ok so this is probably TMI but I just had to ask for some advice. I personally HATE oral both getting and receiving it and my DH loves both. I feel like a horrible wife especially when he honestly tries to please me, so I don't let him know how much I dislike it. I don't want to tell him how much I dread it when he obviously enojys it so much because I know he'll stop and I know how much he really likes it. Am I weird? I find my husband so attractive so I don't understand why I struggle with this. Does anyone else struggle too or have any advice for me? I'm at my wits end.
Re: Just can't...
Do you struggle with orgasm in general? If you mentally aren't in the "zone", that is where you can try to work on things. It's great that you are attracted to your H, but having a hot man isn't always enough for you to be able to be comfortable with oral.
This isn't to say that there is anything wrong with you, lots of women struggle with all types of orgasm.
If you're not mentally in the mood/ ready to reach orgasm, maybe either tell YH that you should just have sex and take care of him (sometimes it may just not be happening- never, ever fake it), or give it a few minutes and see if you can try to calm your mind, focus and get there.
Are you uncomfortable with touching yourself? If not, perhaps try doing so once a week and practicing getting in the frame of mind where you are comfortable. It's kind of like running a race- if you aren't in shape beforehand, you won't do well and may not even finish.
Have you ever liked receiving oral? (previous lovers) What do you not like about it? Is it psychological? When your husband goes down on you, does it feel good at all? Or do you just want him to stop? Do you orgasm regularly during other sexual activities with your husband? Have you ever masturbated?
Do you like being manually stimulated? Since it is obvious that your husband wants to please you (yeah for your DH!), would you feel comfortable with him manually stimulating you to orgasm?
If you aren't interested in receiving oral, how do you prepare yourself for intercourse? How do you get yourself excited/lubricated for penetration?
What don't you like about giving oral? Many women find it physically challenging, but there are a lot of techniques that help you control depth and vigor. Are you open to trying some of them as oral makes your husband so happy?
Lol Binzy. OP, Binzy is generally a troll. Generally you can just laugh and disregard anything posted by this person.
I think it's partly psychological and partly becasue it just doesn't feel good.I have no problems climaxing usually, just not orally. I know! I have a wonderful husband which is why I'm trying not be selfish but to please him even though I don't like it. I didn't know if maybe anyone else struggled with the whole idea but yeah I would like to find a way to not only make my husband happy but make it easier for me as well both physically and mentally. Thanks for all the advice! I very much appreciate it!
Thank you so much! I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone..I felt like I must be the only woman in the world who feels like this!
