    Orgasms, or lack there of...

    I am 20 years old, and I have been sexually active for 3 years.
    I have never had an orgasm before. This is very frustrating for me, almost to the point where I don't even want to have sex with my boy friend. We have been together now for a year, and I love him so much. There is so much passion between the two of us. But, when it comes to having sex, I just can't cum. When it's over he always feels bad that he can't get me off. We will have sex some days for a couple hours (more the less), with foreplay, toys, videos, ect...
    We are both very open in the bedroom and always trying new things to keep it interesting. I love having sex, and I get extremely wet every time, to the point where we have to change the sheets before we sleep most days.
    I get this insane and intense feeling, and sometimes it feels like I'm going to cum, and rarely I will get all shaky. But, it always just goes away, even when I play with myself this happens. It's so instant and then it's almost like I don't enjoy the sex after this point. I don't know what to do, I want to keep my love happy and I want to enjoy sex like I used to. But, the more sex I have the more frustrated I get because I can't cum.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any advice or tips you can maybe give me?

    I was married for 4 years before I orgasmed for the first time. I t took years of patience on my husbands part and years of frustration on my part!! We would try stimulating my clitoris for ages before I would get him to stop due to extreme frustration. I always felt so close but didn't quite get there!! Then one night I came, out of the blue, like a dam broke and now I can cum whenever I wish. So when I crossed the brink, so to speak, it seemed to unlock the ability or mindset to cum!! I hope the same thing will happen for you and then you can experience a very fulfilling sexlife1 :-)

        Some women don't have their first orgasm until much later in life. Take your time until you find out what works for you. Relax and take it slow. Do your best to not have a psychological block.

          How do you think you will identify an orgasm when you have one?
          Orgasms come in many styles, sometimes they are very intense and other times they may be just a little shiver or flush of pleasure.
          Studies of brain activity have found that many women who report being non orgasmic, will show by brain activity that they have had an orgasm but they claim not to have. Apparently they are disconnected from their responses and unable either to feel or identify when they have an orgasm.

          Are you able to bring yourself to orgasm when you masterbate? This may be a good place to start.
