i'm gonna start by saying that i'm a non-english speaker,so i apologize for how non fluent and grammatically incorrect my reply could turn out to be.
anyways,
some of you should not underestimate the 'mental' factor. sometimes,the uncounscious could hide many unrevealed fears/discomforts who are keeping you from feeling sexual pleasure and having an orgasm.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO! HERE'S HOW I STARTED FEELING ACTUAL PLEASURE!
i think you should all talk about it with your partners. i understand that such problem could bring tension between the two but i also believe that it is not fair for you and your partners to keep this problem a segret. Based from what i have read, most of you are lucky enough to be in a stable relationship and i'm sure that if the relationship is strong enough,you will be able to affront such problem together. as a couple.
sex is not only about feeling immediate pleasure once the penis enters the vagina,it is also about sexual arousal:
do you find your partners attractive enough to get you horny? by 'horny' i dont mean the desperate desire to feel something during intercourse, i mean the actual desire of wanting your partner (him and him only) to be inside you and to feel HIM pleasure you.
AFTER I RATIONALIZED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, I STARTED ASKING MYSELF HOW I WOULD LIKE TO BE PLEASURED AND BY WHOM.
your partner has a primary role during sex. (that's why i recomand you to be honest) also,please remember,he should be sensitive enough to care for you while having sex. i say this because many men have this tendency to take everything for granted once they have started the actual penetration.
it could sound cheesy but unfortunatelly it's true: sex,is an art. it's not about cuming,it's about the couple's physical interaction.
i've lived 6 yrs without being able to feel anything while having sex,but when i had found my currend partner (soon-to-be-husband. yay!),i DECIDED to feel something.
i find my partner extremely attractive. (unlike my exes: i would like them physically,but not enough to say that i could get aroused by them provoking me) and after we had dated for a while,i decided to tell him what was ''wrong'' with me. i dont know why i did it,i knew that there was a very high chance he might not understand,but i had to try. and also,i helped me understand whether he was 'worth it' or not.
surprisingly enough,he has been very supportive and patient about the whole issue.
of course,i did have to reassured him many times about the size of his penis assuring him that it had nothing to do with the size ( i'm eurasian and my exes were all white wherelse my fiancèe is chinese,comparativelly,his penis size is the smallest among all the men i had slept with).
After many various attempts,we had found out what gets me horny (sex toys,videos, sexy games,various kinds of teasing,ect) then,we focused on the physical part of the problem. One of the things my partner does best and has brought successful results in bed is that before he would penetrate me,he would tease me till i could not take it anymore and would ask him to actually be inside me.
i was responsive to him and,while concentrating on my desire to want to feel pleasured,i would tell him what to do and how to move accordingly to how i felt.
it took a while for me to actually feel pleasure while being penetrated. till today,i dont get pleasured just by the penetration but my partner has learned how to successfully arouse me before doing 'it' and now,our sex life is amazing. it's surprising how important is your partner's support,reassurence and patience during sex. especially when you have a problem.
i tried,knowing i would risk to loose the person i loved. but i love myself more and i was ready to do whatever it took to make myself sexually satisfied. are you?
i really hope my reply will help- thank you for your attention.
all the best,
L.
