    Default A Barrage of Questions! What's normal, what's not?

    I'm a new member here, and I'm grateful to have found the site! I'm not sure how to get this out in a way that makes sense, but here goes! Hope I'm not breaking any rules.

    A little background: I'm 23 and have been with my boyfriend for seven months. He's my first boyfriend, and I'm his first girlfriend. I was his first kiss (I'd been kissed a few times before-- it was never pleasant). We were obviously both virgins! (Please don't make fun of our dorky selves! ) He's extremely attractive, very attentive, and sweet. We live apart while he finishes his last year of college (five hours away!) and spend as much time together as we can when he's home. We plan to move in together once he graduates and finds a job. I love him very much; in fact, he's the first guy I ever wanted to make out with, have sex with, etc. Even when I had crushes on guys, I never had interest in any of that.

    Anyway! Here are my actual questions.

    I should tell you that I'm on anti anxiety medication (Lexapro). Before that, I was on Paxil. I hear they inhibit the sex drive. I still have the desire, though-- which came with being with my boyfriend.

    Okay, so my boyfriend and I started having sex in November. I find it fun, and sometimes it feels good. I enjoy it, but I never get to the point of orgasm. Actually, I've never orgasmed (except in my sleep, what on earth?!)-- I've never masturbated either. I never had an interest in orgasm or masturbation. However, my boyfriend is obsessed with getting me to orgasm. No matter how much I tell him it doesn't matter that much to me, he worries. So anyway!

    I do agree that perhaps it would be nice to have an intentional orgasm while awake, especially because he would like it (and I love pleasing him!). I just don't know what, if anything, is wrong with me. I'll probably talk to a doctor, but I'm wondering what any of you would have to say.

    I should also mention I am EXTREMELY stressed.

    Oh yeah, and when I have sex with my boyfriend-- things can feel good but i feel like the nerves aren't connecting so it doesn't progress as I feel it should, and I have the DESIRE and some of the AROUSAL (because my boyfriend is very hot and does a lot for me <3) but it doesn't go OVER THE EDGE-- and if it does, I feel more overwhelmed and physically uncomfortable, like it's stuck and cant go further so it just feels weird (I don't know if im saying this right)-- it like gets intense and I want him to stop.

    What on Earth does it feel like just before you orgasm? Is it uncomfortable? Am I weird? Is my boyfriend's worrying, and the subconscious obligation to orgasm, part of the problem?

    That was a lot- please forgive me if this is a ridiculous thread.

    Thanks so much!

    This is not ridiculous, not at all. Get a copy of The Orgasm Loop, it not only addresses the questions of how but has a section on the effects of drugs and ways to deal with that.

    I think that before you are able to have an orgasm with your boyfriend you will need to experience one for yourself, you are giving him a really tall order of figuring out how to please you when even you are unsure of what it would take to please you... do you know what I mean?

    If you are comfortable with this idea, when you are alone.. relaxed, think of him. Think about what turns you on about him and explore your body. When touching yourself find what feels good and keep doing it, when you find the right way to touch - the pleasure will build, go with it... when you think you can't make it feel any better than it does, just keep going eventually you will hit a peak, a wave of pleasure... an eruption inside of you that feels like a spasm, after that rubbing will feel more sensative and ticklish

    At least thats how it is for me! lol

    You did have an orgasm in your sleep. Do you remember what you were dreaming about?

    you know i think another things to try would maybe to get a vibrator. if you really can't get to an orgasm thats a great way for you and your partner to find out if you can. i know with me, and many many other women, there body just isn't as sensitive. if touching yourself or him touching you just isn't enough it could be as simple as needing more stimulation. try something like a bullit on a very low settings and see what happends! just remember, sex is FUN! don't let yourself get so worked up and worried about not being able to do it because your body will respond to your nerves. relax, enjoy your time, enjoy your body, and don't even think about getting to an orgasm, just think about exploring and having alittle fun!!!

    Thanks everyone! Hearing what you have to say has been really helpful. I'm really thinking about what you're saying.

    SinisterUrge-- it's happened a few times; sometimes I don't remember the dream, sometimes I can see where it might have contributed (but not really?), but usually, it makes no sense and seems almost random!

    Also, I've been trying to experiment with finding out what I like-- the problem is, I don't like masturbating and I can't seem to make any progress. Everyone seems to recommend masturbation as a way to figure things out, and it makes sense, but I can't seem to get it to work for me. That must be weird! Or is it?

    MissLyss - masturbation has never quite done the trick for me either. I love the feeling of a mans body......the body heat, the smell of him, the smell of he and I together, the sounds......the oh so beautiful penis. So....when masturbating, I try to think about these things, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but I never orgasm through masturbation.

    Actually, you sound a lot like me. When I started having sex, I was oh so in love....and would've done anything to please him and he would've me. I faked it...regularly.....couldn't to save me have an orgasm. But finally...after more than a year of regular sex, I found my spot. For me, it is on top, riding him sliding my pelvic area forward and backward. The first time I discovered this.....WOW, is all I can say.

    So, you'll find your spot....it comes with time, with comfort, with being able to fully let go while not having to worry how the other person is feeling, but just KNOWING you're satisfying them. try not to worry about it...try not to "look" for your orgasm....you won't find it that way. For women, it's truly such a mindset.....or for me at least. If I'm feeling uncomfortable, unattractive for some reason, or various other things, I just CAN'T do it. Overthinking can keep you from coming to the BIG O as well.

    Best of luck to you. It sounds like you have an awesome guy that you can learn and experiment with. Remember, he's as inexperienced in this as you are. :-) Give it time.....and it'll all just come naturally.
