Question:
My girlfriend and I have been dating for over a year now (1 year, 2 months, 9 days, to be exact). Being young, neither of us had tried sex before this relationship, although we both had masturbated. My girlfriend claims (and I think she would know) that she has never orgasmed, both when she is masturbating, and when we have sex.

We started having sex about 6 months ago, and we have no problem with motivation...she even enjoys herself. However, it's frustrating that I can't fully satisfy her. With her, she will get to a point during sex where she will begin to push me harder...I naturally push her harder back. However, after a while, she reaches a point where she claims that she isn't feeling anything anymore, and she is done. Her sexual desire is gone.

I don't think it's a problem with my size...some positions we can't do because I hurt her when I hit her back wall. However, I will admit lack of practice at sex. If you have any advice on how she can get herself to orgasm, or anything I can do, I would be very appreciative. I need your help....this lack of orgasm is really making me feel insufficient.

Sincerely, Lacking P.S. I don't know if this matters, but for us, we have two different types of sex we have. One is the all-out, give it to me, lust-filled sex. We also use sex as a tool for love, to be closer...during this, I will simply slide into her once, hold her close to me, and we will lie together and talk. Please, help me.

Your concern about her orgasm is understandable. However, if she says that she is done and does not desire more sex, I think you must respect her feelings. Women (and men too) have a varied physical and mental orgasmic response. Not all of them have a strong ‘body-shuddering’ orgasm all the time. After-orgasm loss of sexual desire is a common occurance and usually is a good indicator to know if your partner has come. However there are exceptions to this statement. There is absolutely no need for you to feel insufficient because of what happens when the two of you have sex. If you repeatedly keep harping on this issue she may feel pressured and inadequate.
