Dunno where to ask this - I have misplaced my orgasm

Sorry, but I need some perspective.
I left my emotionally abusive husband nearly two months ago, and began a relationship with a friend. Sex with husband was samey, boring, not great, but I did orgasm most of the time. After 8 years together he knew what buttons to press I suppose, but despite that I didn't really enjoy sex. It was functional.
New boyfriend - I am super attracted to him, I want him. However I can't orgasm. There are some issues in that sex doesn't last long, but that is something we are working on - he was celibate for a couple of years before we got together, so I don't know if that's affecting his longevity in bed. But even with loads of build up, loads of foreplay - nothing. Oral sex- amazing, but still no orgasm, and oral has always been a guaranteed orgasm for me.
He is really keen to help me achieve orgasm, he says it's important to him that we both enjoy sex, but I am feeling a little pressured. I'm not even that bothered about it right now, I have a lot on my mind, it's new sex with a new person, I figure I just need to relax into it. But he seems really caught up in the idea that he is failing because I'm not climaxing. Is it possible that I have performance anxiety??? I feel like everything feels right physically but I'm just not getting there. Like I'm reaching that tipping point and then not tipping over.
In terms of my enjoyment, I want to have sex with him, I enjoy the build up and I enjoy the sex we have. It feels amazing. I'm just not climaxing.

Calm down and breath. Your orgasm has not disappeared never to return again - this all sounds like you have an emotional block with it.

No matter how you felt about your ex of course he knew you well and you forget what it's like in the early stages of sex with someone new when you've been with one person for so long.

Try not to put so much pressure on yourself - maybe have a few drinks one night to really relax and try to let it happen naturally because the more you force it - the less likely it is to happen. As for lasting a long time - my DH of 6 years still doesn't last that long but he's by far the best sex I've ever had - it's all about the quality not the quantity, and he more then makes up for it in other ways Smile.

Thank you for replying :)

I'm staying at his this weekend with the kids, so I will suggest a bottle of wine after they are in bed and maybe a massage to try to get things going a bit.

I think you are right about it being an emotional block. I do have body image issues so I feel pretty vulnerable with a new partner. I will try to talk to him about maybe taking the pressure off, maybe concentrating on kissing and caressing for a bit, and taking it all a bit more slowly.

Agreed could be emotional block but you get yourself a wand from love honey and I think your orgasm will come back in a hurry! Us women are all different and cum through various methods give him some hints, men love it (ime), another tip get him to have a safety wank before you meet. Good luck
