Sex and no orgasm

45 replies

Hi,

I will keep this short as don't want to go into too much detail.

When with a long term partner, do other women sometimes just wait for their man to 'just finish' when you know you're not going to orgasm?

As in wait for it to be over?
Cos it's easier then them stopping (cos you've had enough) and then coming back later cos they haven't 'finished '?

I realise that does look awful written down Confused

'Would other things be ok for you to do to get him over the line so he doesn't need more later. '

@Opentooffers Sex is not a need or a right- if he doesn't get it his balls aren't going to explode or anything.

You need to make him aware you've gone into freeze mode, although how someone could continue I don't know. I sued to freeze and instantly my ex knew and would ask if I was ok, if I said no, we would stop. Probably by not stopping you may make things worse for yourself in the long run too. It might be worthwhile to go into specific therapy for help with it.

Yup, for years with my ex. I never felt empowered to call time if i'd had enough, i'd just try and speed him up. I'd often be sore after. We never talked about it really.

It's only been since we've split up and i've slept with other people that i've realised it doesn't actually have to be like this...

Shoxfordian · 27/01/2020 10:32

I'm not saying this to show off but I can't relate because my husband makes sure I cum everytime we have sex. Don't stay with someone who treats you like a sex doll

Sunflowernet · 27/01/2020 10:33

@Luckystar777 I used to. I always said to myself (after therapy) that it would never happen again after the past abusive relationship.

It is really important to let him know how it's making you feel. If he's trying again later then he's not being very understanding about it. You need to look after your self and it should be enjoyable for both of you, not just him. I still don't know how he can continue without realising you're in freeze mode. :(

@Interestedwoman
' if he doesn't get it his balls aren't going to explode or anything'
Indeed, but OP has already said if he has not had an orgasm he will be back for more which she doesn't want. I'm merely trying to clarify if stopping, entails stopping PIV or all activities.
At the end of the day if anyone is not enjoying anything they should stop at the time. Then maybe consider why they are not enjoying it, the reasons likely being very complex, especially in OP's case.
He seems to need it spelling out not to come back for more, if it has been spelled out, and he still does, that is getting sinister, and exiting the relationship is the answer.

I'm very aware of anything abusive or controlling and I would never date a man like that again.
So that is why it's bothering me.
I do need to comunicate my feelings more but when you freeze, it is impossible. You are back there in your head. Doesn't matter how long ago or how much therapy.
I usually talk to him, I usually stop if needed as he knows my past so part of me is thinking how did this happen?
He's very loving and attentive usually.
I guess the more I ponder it,the more I analyse other things.

Update, which is more for me really to write down so I can get some sleep.
I spent a few days trying to process after telling him I froze and didn't enjoy it.
He wanted to talk as doesn't understand why it's weird between us.
It was difficult to talk, i don't find it easy to share with him as I don't feel listened to.
Anway, he said it prob was the drinking.
We had had a night out but this had happened in the morning after. And few other times (while ago) when no drink involved.
He said he feels uncomfortable he had made me uncomfortable and didn't understand why.
But it didn't really seem like it.
Feels like the end for us.

You know what I think @Sunflowernet . I'm in a similar situation of realising a lover/friend is dodgy. Once you've seen it you cannot unsee.

75Renarde · 29/01/2020 01:41

Lovely, have you considered you have PTSD?

75Renarde · 29/01/2020 01:42

@Intrestedwoman.

No, you can't.

Flowers18 · 29/01/2020 01:45

I’ve never failed to cum ha

Bluerussian · 29/01/2020 01:53

You wouldn't be boasting now, would you Flowers?

Flowers18 · 29/01/2020 01:54

Huh?

75Renarde · 29/01/2020 02:05

Going out on a limb. I am a rape Survivour of two different men.

I am also sex and BDSM writer.

I really do believe that unless we seek healing for both physical, emotional and spiritual trauma, we can just go back into that moment.

This is odd but sexually, I got over it. I'm not multiple orgasmic and an evaluator. Be cause for ne, the trauma of the rape etcs was never held in my body, it was held in my mind and spirit.

For me, a far FAR worse trauma was not being believed. That pretty much destroys me every day.

But what is normal? Its tricky to say. Bit what I DO know is that my DP does check in with me to make sure it's all ok and consensual. As in, I'm fully conscious and present.

I think that might be close to normal. As a PP said, but paraphrasing, can you stop what's happening without fear of ANY kind of negative repercussion?.

And lovely, it's not normal behaviour for a partner to carry on when the other has stopped responding.

One way to get around this is to ground our trauma on the conscious. Aknowlefge it and reference it hit without another sexual or emotional partner with us.

I hope this helps I feel for you. But no, this isnt normal.

I'm not multi orgasmic and an evaluator = I'm multi orgasmic and an ejaculator

Such a bad AC fail. I'm so sorry!

Huh?

You said you've never failed to cum - h! That brought a smile to my face.

I was being facetious Flowers, no offence meant. Perhaps I should have put a winking emoji after my post.

RantyAnty · 29/01/2020 05:32

How long is it taking him to finish?
