Female Troubles?

Contributor: Sin Secret Sin Secret
I generally have a hard time getting aroused and reaching orgasm. When I'm in a new relationship this isn't usually an issue, because I have fun either way. But in long term relationships, it becomes a real drag on our romantic life.
So, I was curious. For those of you who may have experienced this, whether it's a usual thing like it is for me, or it is just an occasional bother, what do you do about it?
Any particular tricks or ways of dealing with this kind of difficulty?

I have this problem on and off, and I tend to "fake it til I make it." I tell my husband if I'm having one of those slumps to keep him in the loop, but I try to make sure that I respond to his advances some of the time, because once I'm started and going at it, I'm fine, it's just getting to that point that gets me sometimes.

I think most women go this some time or another. Try using a vibrator during sex. That way you both can reach orgasm.

Hmmm no, I've never had that problem. I don't know anyone who has either. If it isn't clicking sexually, that's usually the end of the relationship romantically.

I would suggest always keeping things fresh by trying new things. I do this constantly with whomever I am with so it never gets boring and is always exciting. Maybe this is why I've never had that problem. It pays to communicate too though. Maybe your partner will do something to make you feel sexy

I think you should talk to your doctor if you haven't already. I'm not saying anything is wrong with you, but I tend to believe it never hurts to check it out just in case. Sometimes hormonal issues or thyroid problems can trigger low sex drive. If they don't find anything, then you can go to alternate methods (buying new lingerie to show off, write in sex dates on your calendar, or work out to get those endorphins flowing). But, if the doc does find something, there may be options there too. Good luck!

Could be hormonal and due to age; there are a good number of women who lose interest in sex once the relationship gets to a comfortable status.

I heard on an advice show once, a long time ago, that men are ready for sex at any time but women have to be revved up before sex. Your partner needs to understand that the wham-bam-thank you ma'am has gone the way of the do-do and you need to be romanced.

I agree. My boyfriend can look at me, morning breath and all and be like Mmmm hey hottie.
And I'm like BLECH.

I'm just simply not in the mood.
Somedays I read romance novels or masturbate a bit beforehand,

My boyfriend also loves to play with my toys on me before intercourse as a part of foreplay so I have plenty of time to get revved up.

I have had this problem in the past and feel that many women do or have experienced this. One of the worst things you can do is feel there is something wrong with you, feel guilt, feel inadequate or anything like that. First and foremost just know that many women have experienced this and also overcome it!

So many things can be causing what you are experiencing as well. For example in my personal experience I used to have REALLY had time having an orgasm not because I wasn't aroused, but because I had trouble letting my guard down. It was an issue of trust for me and being able to let go and be intimate with that person.

Because there are so many reasons why you might be feeling this, it's hard to say what will fix it. All I can say is be open with your partner and tell him or her that you are feeling this. Let them know so they can help you, and at the very least so they can be sensitive and not pressure you to have an orgasm if it's not going to happen for you. You two can just enjoy the experience for what it is, for all the pleasure that can come from the intimacy, and not see the orgasm as the be-all and end-all.

My other advice is to spend a lot of time alone with yourself masturbating, reading erotica or watching porn, fantasizing, things like that. Just get to know what really does turn you on and work for you. If you become an expert in getting yourself off, maybe you can teach others to be as well!

Good luck, it's a difficult problem but I know you can get through it.
