Another thread on here as reminded me of a burning question I have had for ages.

In a conversation with a girl friend of mine, she said that she orgasmed during penetrative sex. I don't. Only during foreplay. Are we doing something wrong?

What do other people experience?

LOL wonder what inspired you to start this thread

TBH I dont feel hardly anything during penatrive sex!

I do know that only a small % of women experience orgasm through sex, the majority of those who have orgasms achieve them through cliteral stimulation.

I'm in the majority then. I hate foreplay. It annoys me. Would much rather get down to the real deal and always orgasm (unless I'm a little rushed IYKWIM)!!

Try reading Shere Hite, she did a huge survey and breaks the results down into mind-boggling detail exactly how women reach orgasm. There are some very unusual methods out there...

nerdgirl · 30/12/2005 12:05

Oops! Not trying to take over the thread. Actually sneezed mid post and double-clicked!

I think climax during penetrative sex without any manipulation of the clitoris is pretty rare, TBH.

I only orgasm through clitoral stimulation, so there has to be a 'helping hand' during penetrative sex for me to achieve it.

FlameRobin · 30/12/2005 12:05

I can, but only in just the right position.

harpsichordcarrier · 30/12/2005 12:06

foreplay annoys you?
sorry to state the obvious but is he doing it quite right??

nerdgirl · 30/12/2005 12:09

Yes he is. And would love to do more of it. I get too excited too quickly and then it becomes almost painful. Penetrative sex is perfect for me.

tamba · 30/12/2005 12:09

Sex is boring, boring boring!

harpsichordcarrier · 30/12/2005 12:10

gosh. fancy that.
[HC lost for words]

FlameRobin · 30/12/2005 12:10

I sort of get where she's coming from... I can't have too much foreplay - just enough to get me worked up, but if it happens during foreplay then the rest hurts... so foreplay, sex, then finish me

FlameRobin · 30/12/2005 12:11

I share waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much on here

SackAche · 30/12/2005 12:13

I can orgasm during sex...... but most of the time I'm well satisfied during foreplay before we get right down to it!!!!!

NomDePlume · 30/12/2005 12:13

rofl, FR !

SackAche · 30/12/2005 12:15

PMSL Flamerobin @ 'finish me off'!! Thats such a good way to describe it though.

JenumGeranium · 30/12/2005 12:16

I also orgasm during penetrative sex, but as FlameRobin said it has to be the right position!

harpsichordcarrier · 30/12/2005 12:17

yes well tell us about this "right position" please
[hc pulls up a chair and makes herself a cup of tea]

JenumGeranium · 30/12/2005 12:18

Oh erm..... I have to go out!

Back later!

NomDePlume · 30/12/2005 12:18

my bet is on doggy - goes deep and presses on the frontal wall where the fabled g-spot is meant to be. Am I right ?

daisy1999 · 30/12/2005 12:19

hc is that the right position (on a chair with a cup of tea) heck I've got a lot to learn

harpsichordcarrier · 30/12/2005 12:19

oh well that's just like sex isn't it?
just when it gets interesting one of you has to go to the shops
Flamerobin - more on this "right position" pls

daisy1999 · 30/12/2005 12:20

I can't beleive I have to go and get lunch ready now!!

harpsichordcarrier · 30/12/2005 12:21

surely not doggy
i would have bet on a man on top one where he is shuffled all the way up so that there is pressure in the right place
but what do I know?
(let's come back to the G spot)

tamba · 30/12/2005 12:21

the best position I have found for me is:

Sitting on the sofa with your bum hanging off the edge of the seat, he puts his hands on your knees and usesthem to lift himself up and down. Closest I have ever got to an orgasm - shame it wasnt with dh grrrr

(dont jump on me - it was pre dh! )
