    Can't reach an orgasm during sex...

    My boyfriend and I have sex regularly and no matter how good it feels I can't manage to reach an orgasm...
    On top of that as awkward as this sounds, often i feel the need to urinate during sex, even if i go to the bathroom before having sex.
    I don't know what to do, and i really want to be able to reach an orgasm during sex.

    Any advice? or help?

    The advice I gave on another thread might do: https://www.womens-health.com/boards...tml#post282459
    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

      My boyfriend is a science geek and computer freak. This means he LOVES finding new ways of turning me on. This also means he would not give up when I couldn't orgasm.. He found my G-spot, figured out what voice I find sexy and how to subtly turn me on. Ask your boyfriend to look for tips on the net (if he isn't already) get him to explore you. This was, however, not enough. for a long time I was thinking of giving up because it just wasn't working. My boyfriend on the other hand didn't take no for an answere so I gave him permission to play with me in my sleep. when I woke up he told me I had shown more pleasure than when I'm awake. In later attempts he actually made me orgasm in my sleep. This showed that my difficulty in recieving an orgasm had to do with mental stuff, not only physical. I decided one night when he was fingering me to just relax completely and focus only on the enjoyable feeling and, sure enough, i started a waterfall. So if your boyfriend isn't exploring, get him to. If you aren't relaxing, DO IT! If you haven't masturbated at all, this is a lot harder. Hope you find this useful.

        well, i had the same feeling for a short time. i made a little "research" and found out that, it could have been the ejaculation. and i also spoke it with my bf. he told me it'd be completelty okay even if i pee! you should just feel urself comfortable and think that nothing can be bad in the end. i let it go but...i ejaculate too but...i also still cant say its orgasm!
