Do you Orgasm with your Partner Present?

If you don’t orgasm with a partner present, you are not alone.  But it can be done.

Orgasm with your partner

“I love my man. I love connecting with him, feeling his body against mine, seeing his pleasure, but his hopeful gaze in the bedroom, searching, waiting for me to orgasm is too much pressure. I can’t seem to come when he is in the same room. I love the feeling of sex, but it just doesn’t bring me over that edge to orgasm.”

This complaint is something I often hear from women of all ages and sexual backgrounds.

There is no surprise to why this is the case. Why do some women have trouble reaching orgasm with a partner?

  1. The presence of another person is distracting.
    Reaching orgasm is just easier to do when someone isn’t watching. When we are alone we pay attention only to our own needs and ‘what turns us on’.
  2. Our main orgasm engine — the clitoris — is located on the outside of the vagina.
    Sex is often defined as intercourse. And the clitoris can be unattended during intercourse. Asking a woman to orgasm with intercourse alone is like asking a man to have an orgasm by fondling his testicles. Possible, but difficult.
  3. It is difficult to communicate our sexual needs.
    Let’s face it, it is tough to talk about sex. We worry about hurting our partner’s feelings, scaring them or turning them off.  Too often we forego our sexual pleasure because we fear those few uncomfortable moments of conversation.
  4. We don’t know our own sexual triggers.
    Many of us don’t know what really turns us on. How can we expect our partner to know what works for us if we don’t know ourselves? Understanding our sexual triggers is a key to controlling arousal and orgasm.

There is hope. So, how do we get there?

Tips for the partner:

    • Find out how you can be supportive.
    • Learn to create an environment where there is no  pressure.

Is sex therapy right for you?

Thoughts of eroticism and sexuality are intensely personal, yet it can bring great relief to talk about sexuality genuinely with someone trusted. It can be difficult to navigate through your own sexuality without guidance . A trusted friend (or lover) who will not be judgmental is invaluable for this purpose, especially if you set up a series of discussions.

It may be wise to consult a sex therapist when:

  • An issue or negative pattern is so close to you that you are unable to separate it from the rest of your life.
  • You are trying hard to make a change, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere.
  • You know that something is wrong, but you can’t put your finger on exactly what it is.
  • You know you want to make a change, but you don’t know where to start.
  • You are uncovering thoughts or memories that make you uncomfortable.
  • You are conflicted by a situation, and can’t seem to see which direction to take.
  • You are uncomfortable doing or fantasizing about certain erotic things.
