He Comes, You Don’t. Same Old Story

After he’d come (which was fine, I have no problem
with that, not at all, my clothes are in the wash]
he just pulled his pants up and started to leave!

Like the night was over because he came! Now that
was fucking wrong, and I think yhe know that.

There should be a point of pride in this – making
a woman come is not easy, it takes some work, and I
tell you, when I got home and wanked, I came in
less than a minute. Again, you should’ve known I
wasn’t far off just due to generally being aroused.

My new man is great company and good fun,
but reacts with fury to any form of criticism.

The first time we went to bed, he took my failure
to have an orgasm as a slur on his skills as a lover.
So the next time I faked a climax — and have been ever since.

I would suggest women think twice before ­faking orgasm,
because it can easily lead men to believe that women’s
erotic response is a less complex business than generally
proves to be the case.

There should be no embarrassment in showing a
lover the most ­effective ways to achieve a climax.

Remember that however ‘good fun’ your
man may be, the buzz will soon be in
short supply if sex remains a one-sided affair.

Casual Sex: She
Can’t Climax

Cuming: What’s
The Big Deal?

I’ve slept with a fair number of men but I’ve had orgasms with only one, the person I was in a long-term relationship with.

My other sexual encounters had varying degrees of fun, but never resulted in sexual release. The men I’ve slept with always come. This is hardly surprising. In hookups, inequality still reigns.

Some guys, even random dudes I’ve brought home from bars, are really into getting women off. But most of them are driven by their own egos.

“Every girl I’ve ever been with has come” is something I’ve heard more than a few times from guys who just won’t stop until they’re sure you’ve reached their idea of satisfaction — orgasm.

I’ve been known to fake it with these men, because it’s just so much easier than explaining to a relative stranger

I just can’t orgasm unless I am really, really, really in the right mood and there are no distractions and I’m 1000 percent relaxed and my OCD/ADD isn’t acting up.

Also you have to be licking my pussy just right and it also helps if I use my vibrator while you’re fucking me, but even then it just might not happen. Don’t take it personally, I’m still having a great time!

I have given a few dudes the short version of that explanation and they all looked at me like I just killed their puppy.

Then, of course, there are the dudes who are just there to get theirs and get out. These dudes have been plentiful. Though they certainly won’t turn down a blow job, they conveniently skip past reciprocating.

There was one guy I hooked up with multiple times who showed zero interest in my satisfaction. I don’t think he tried at all. I was really frustrated.

Women are becoming equal partners in the hookup culture, often just as willing as young men to venture into sexual relationships without emotional ties.

But the pleasure we receive from those hookups isn’t level with the pleasure men receive. New research supports what my vagina already knows to be true. Women are less likely to have orgasms during uncommitted sexual encounters than in serious relationships

To be sure, some of this is certainly because of how our naughty bits are built. Many, many women have difficulty reaching orgasm through vaginal sex, but can through oral or manual stimulation of the clitoris.

But it’s not like the clit is a button you just have to push to start climaxing. It’s about pace and rhythm and pressure and it can take time for a partner to learn just the right combination.

It takes effort and interest on the part of men, and confidence and assertiveness and openness on the part of women — but many casual sex relationships lack that intimacy.

As someone who quite seriously has stopped actively trying to orgasm with my casual hookups, I wish we would change the perimeters of this discussion and be a little less rigid about what our definition of satisfaction is.

Because the way it’s defined now sets most women up to fail and men not to bother. Just because I may not come from oral sex during a casual hookup does not mean I don’t still want to receive oral sex. Just because I may not come during intercourse, doesn’t mean I don’t have positions I love more than others.

A guy I used to hook up with in New York moved to LA a few years ago, so whenever I’m out on the West Coast for work, we meet up for hotel sex.

That in itself can be hot, with or without orgasm. He’s really into having sex in front of a mirror. I’m into it too.

Sex in front of a mirror is fun and hot, with or without orgasm. Just as life is about the journey, not the destination, sex can be enjoyable and wonderful and funny and horny and hot and pleasurable even if it doesn’t culminate in a shuddering orgasm. Just because an orgasm may not be on the menu doesn’t mean I still don’t want to eat.

Something we don’t talk about is why having an orgasm is the main goal or the only goal. Who are we to say women should be having orgasms?

I’m 34 years old. I know by now how to get myself off. I want something else from casual sex. A way to release energy, a certain level of intimacy, the chance to play and experiment, the opportunity to give pleasure.

I look forward to eventually being in a relationship with a partner who satisfies me on an intellectual and emotional level. With him I’ll have the time, intimacy, trust and freedom to explore all facets of physical satisfaction.

But until then, I still want to get my pussy licked.
