Not Able To Get Orgasm During Intercourse. Has Defibrillator And On Medication. Looking For Suggestion
Question: I have trouble sometimes getting my boyfriend to climax. It makes me feel awful but there are times I'm so tired I just give up. He says its ok but I sometimes cry when he's not looking. He has a defibrillator and is on a lot of medications. He blames them, I blame me. I don't know what to do but on the times that I am the only one climaxing it makes me feel bad and ruins what should be a really good moment for us to connect. Can you give me some insight into possible medical issues or if it really is me?
