What Causes Lack Or Orgasm During Intercourse?

Hi, I recently started having sex with my boyfriend. We both lost it to each other but I seem to have no pleasure when we are having intercourse. I orgasm through foreplay but when he is inside of me I don t feel anything. I know he is in because I feel a tiny bit of pressure but no pleasure at all. I ve been to the gyno and he says there is nothing wrong with me and can t figure out why I can t feel pleasure.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

First of all, I want to reassure you that there is nothing wrong with you. The majority of women (80 percent) cannot orgasm just with vaginal penetration alone. Most women need clitoral stimulation in order to climax. In addition, you and your boyfriend are new to having sex and figuring out what works for both of you can take time and some experience.

I suggest you and your boyfriend experiment with sexual positions so you may have more sensation and/or your clitoris can be stimulated while having intercourse. In addition, there are lubricants available that can increase sensation for the female partner. Furthermore, it is perfectly OK to have an orgasm first and then have intercourse for your partner's orgasm.

So in summary, many couples through time and effort can find ways for sex to be satisfying for both partners. But I want to reassure you that not having an orgasm from penetration alone is very common.

I hope I was able to answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
