no orgasm since 14!!

anyone got any advice. I have only ever once had an orgasm with a man (boy!) when I was 14 and it was obviously a fluke. I have them on my own but just don't with a man. I have slept with a lot of men and am married now (although having an affair) and neither of these men make me come, although I pretend that they do all the time. Any advice? PS I do try and relax!

Good idea re one step at a time. You need to prioritise. And you must consider the effect your own emotional turmoil is having on your child.

easy for me to say I know....

Baba - if you read this, and I hope you do, please read it as it is intended to be read, as advice and not having a go. You mentioned that your dh has been dumped by 2 partners previously for other men, he also found one of his relatives hanging in the garage. But with you he thinks he has found happiness, he has no reason to believe that there is anything wrong with his marriage as you haven't mentioned anything. You have a little boy together, and from what you've said he adores his little boy and his boy adores him. To make things even better for him, you and him are trying for another baby - on film in fact!

Just think now how he would feel if all that were taken away from him! Let us just move you aside for the moment and concentrate on the other people involved in this, your lover's partner, your little boy, your husband.

You mentioned in other threads that the affair was over, so what started it again? You say you fell deeply in love with your dh, but now have fallen out of love with him and in love with your lover. I can see a pattern emerging here, do you really think that you will stick with this new partner? Is he worth giving everything up for? He is already cheating on his partner, what's to say that he will not do the same to you? He obviously cannot be trusted.

I have no doubt that tonight you are with him, and yet this weekend you are going to Glasgow to start filming 'Making a Baby' and hopefully to try and conceive with your dh. Does this sound very fair to you?

So my advice is this. Ditch your lover, he's a cheat so he's not really worth it. Confess to your dh that you are not happy with the marriage. Stop trying for a baby until you have sorted things out, it's not fair to bring a baby into this mess. See a therapy for yourself, because you have a hell of a lot of problems that will not go away by themselves. Until you sort out the problems within yourself, you will never be happy.

Hope you manage to take some of that advice on board. It is meant well.

CRSEIH, thank you so much for your wise words - they made a lot of sense to me and in the cold light of today I can see that you are right. Yes, you are correct, I did work last night and we did have sex and for the first time, I felt like the spell was broken when I drove home and was crying like a baby, full of guilt and realising that I was hurting my dh and ds like crazy. And crying for the fact that I was indeed treating myself with no respect and just because I didn't like the way that I look, doesn't mean that I owe myself some self-respect.

This morning I am at work and looking at the man I slept with last night, I can see him for what he is. He didn't kiss me this morning when I came to work and that was all I wanted.... after all sex is such a physical bond that at least I think I was worth a kiss the morning after..... how could I ever think of falling in love with someone who obviously just uses me for a physical need and is obviously not in love with me at all. I kid myself that I am similar to him when in fact I am not at all.

Although we are still flying to Glasgow tonight for this program, luckily we are not allowed to sleep together because of all the tests that are going on.... I think this is (ironically) an ideal opportunity to tell dh that I am not happy and have thought long and hard about having another baby and I agree that it is not the time, or I think ever will be, to bring another child into the world.

Again, in the cold light of day, I can see how selfish I am being and although my dh is very clingy and monitors my every move, I can see why, because of what has happened in his life. I can also see why I do the things I do because of what happened in my life.

But no more excuses now. I am going to take responsibility for my own actions. I will let you know how we get on this weekend - I am also booking an appointment with Relate this morning as I think this would do us good and I have something to back up my comments to dh this weekend. And I am going to go back to my therapist, despite the fact that its £40 an hour and we can't afford it. I think its time I put myself first and not sex.

Many thanks for bringing me to this point in my life.

I think you might be better off going to your GP and asking for referral to a Community Psychiatric Nurse, more than just a therapist and completely free! They can also refer you for other things such as relaxation therapy, sessions with a psychiatrist, etc all on the NHS.

I wish you well.

I echo this, good luck Baba. Let us know how things go.

Best of luck and wishes.

Oh, baba, you poor thing. Well done for deciding to be honest with dh about ttc, and for booking with RELATE - those sound really positive steps. And therapist or Community Psych nurse or a psychologist(personally I would ask for referral from GP as the others suggested but you might want to go private whilst you're waiting as it can take a while.)

I think not falling out of love when you're depressed is really common, isn't it? It's not a good time to decide to throw away a relationship you really treasured just a year ago, not a good time to make any major decisions, certainly not irreversible ones.

Good luck! And hugs!

good luck baba

Hey Baba,

You kept mentioning that you had never had an orgasm with a man. What about a woman!? It's not a suggestion - was just being nosy
