    Difficulty having orgasm

    I am looking to see if anyone has any advice or can share similar experiences. I can only have an orgasm if I am on top of my partner moving very slowly with pressure on my clitoris.
    When we have sex in any other position, there is virtual no vaginal feeling. Other positions are simply not pleasurable for me.
    I do use a cream called Finally which works well for clitoral sensitivity.

    Any suggestions/ ideas?

    Do you orgasm from masturbation, manually or orally?
    I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

    Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

    From a speech by Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 at St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia

      I've have similar issues. I used to only be able to orgasm with oral sex; during vaginal sex I used to barely feel anything. I thought I was weird but soon found out that women are more likely to orgasm with clitoral stimulation because it has tons of nerves. I started tightening my pelvic muscle to increase blood flow down there and it actually worked! Hope this helps.
