Orgasmic differences and problems.

As a female I can confirm that I have always taken longer to reach orgasm than my (Male) partners. I have also suffered short bouts of anorgasmia and occasions where it took ages to reach orgasm. I just wonder how common or uncommon these problems can be for females especially, but both sexes in general. I also think starting a thread like this will put anyones mind at rest who have learned from porn and assume a woman is supposed to spontaneously orgasm the moment a penis slides inside of her. I have often had a suspicious relationship with my orgasms, assuming I "Take longer" than other girls. I have also experienced a snidey comment or two from men due to the time I took so I guess now I am older and wiser and feel more confident, I want to share my experience with others, especially any young folks worrying that they are doing something wrong or taking too long etc.

Join in if you feel so inclined to share your experiences, it would also be good to get guys opinions on this.

No, I know some of the questions are female specific but I would love guys opinions on the rest too, to get a balance between the two sexes differences and similarities. I wanted to add loads more (Eg can you continue and orgasm again, males do you ever lose your erection during the session. Have you ever been unable to get an erection, and so on) but I didnt want it to be a massively long quiz so I focused on questions important to me.

I am so pleased so many people responded. It is heart warming to see that there is no "Normal" and that nothing about my experiences are abnormal as a female. I hope this helps others too.

As for the men answering......Do none of you own a sex toy? :O (strokers, anal toys etc? no? :( ) hehe glad you guys have answered too. I think I am noticing that often men can take longer when a partner is in control and I never expected that. I thought men would take longer alone. See you are blowing my assumptions out the water :D Its a question I have never thought to ask my partners so this is interesting indeed.

Thank you all for sharing your answers.

Hopefully more will too xxx

Yes I mean the question is in two parts. First your time taken on average when just using manual stimulation, then your time using toys (or any sex aids) does your anal toy help you get there faster? I notice with the ladies that toys help them get there faster in most cases but not all, with some its the opposite way around. Boys toys count too though, any kind xx

I just wish I could go back and add one more question for both sexes which would be this: Are you happy with the time it takes you to orgasm or do you think you are too fast or slow" Grrrr

ive only ever orgasmed with a partner through oral stim or when i was rubbing my clit on ANY part of them .
