Do many women actually orgasm during penetration?

[pebblecleaner]

I'm not sure if this is the right board for this and will admit to nn changing for the thread .

So I have never orgasmed through or during penetration with DH (he's the only person I've ever been with). The actual sex part of our relationship is OK - nice at times and very pleasant at others, but not nice enough for actual orgasming for me during the sex bit. I just wondered if this was normal or not.

I only ask as (and I realise this is a bad frame of reference) I'm reading '50 shades' at the minute and will admit to being quite naive about things in general and one of the characters mentioned something about it taking her a year to orgasm through sex. I have no trouble orgasming before or after when DH stimulates me but for some reason even if he does this to me during sex I just can't orgasm and I stand no chance if he doesn't stimulate me.

Apologies if I'm being a bit blunt, or naive, or asking this on completely the wrong board. I'm just wondering if a) this is common or normal and b) if there's anything DH and/or I can do to try and work on this. I'm so used to it now that it's the norm but when I sit and think about it it does seem a shame if it's something that holds an obvious answer

ZOMBIE THREAD

Ive had a LOT of sex with lots of different partners.
I can count one the fingers of one hand how many times I’ve orgasmed through piv penetration alone.
I used to think it was my problem and that there was something wrong with me until I learned a bit more ref our bodies and the statistics re this.
It’s the best feeling when it happens but it’s not something I expect anymore, just love it when it happens!

WOops just seen it’s a zombie thread!

No, women don't orgasm during penetration, although some women will say they do/pretend they do.

Any woman who does, is probably having her clitoris stimulated at the same time, because penetration alone will not result in an orgasm.

Who gave you the right to speak for all women petbear? I am a woman and I orgasm from penetration alone. I don't just think I do. I don't just say I do. I do. And I'm 50 so I think I've had enough time to know for sure.

Me too imablackstarnotapopstar 😊

imablackbear I do also, always have, never had a problem. I am amazed other women think they can speak for all women, we are all different. By the same token I am amazed when women say they don't/can't.
I know what I am talking about too, I'm in my 60's and still functioning ok, thanks.
