SEX STRESS

I never reach an orgasm during sex with my boyfriend and I get so stressed

DEAR DEIDRE: COUNTLESS times I have tried to reach an orgasm with my boyfriend but nothing has worked.

Then I read about it on your page and I decided enough was enough – and I was going to speak up about it.

I am 24 and my boyfriend is 27. I’ve never had an orgasm during sex.

We have a great love life and have tried sex in different ways but I can only reach a climax if I do it myself.

Normally my boyfriend tries to turn me on and we have sex for as long as he can manage, then he has to stop because we are getting nowhere.

I let him climax then finish myself.

It is ruining our sex life because I get so stressed about it.

I keep thinking that I must be doing something wrong.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is common that women can’t orgasm through intercourse alone, but can with a combination of intercourse and manual or oral stimulation.

You are right to talk about it and show your boyfriend what feels good.

Use foreplay to make sure you are fully aroused.

My e-leaflet on Orgasm For Women explains in more detail.
