Orgasms through intercourse alone - common or not?

How common is it for women to reach orgasm through penetrative sex alone?? Was discussing this with a couple of my girlfriends over some vino and the consensus seemed to be that it isn't that common.....

Warthog, I love the comments on the article in that link. Bitchy and funny.

HaventSleptForAYear · 02/04/2008 13:23

Only once here. Have been unsuccessfully trying to recreate it for the last 10 yrs . Am reassured by the number of "nos", I am quite slow too so often feel guilty that I'm taking too long and just give up.
New resolution is to make it clear that I'm NOT done though... Wondering if a vibrator would be a faster route but think DH would be horrified.

OrmIrian · 02/04/2008 13:27

4 out of 5 times I suppose. After foreplay only though. And if it happens it happens quickly. I get bored if DH goes on too long and start getting cramp and wondering what to cook for dinner.

I'm an everytime kind of girl here.

mylittlepudding · 02/04/2008 14:36

Sometimes. Much more easily from behind, am sure that's about the angle and the anatomy, and only ever with my DP, though I'd never really had that great sex before. Requires him to take a bit longer, though.

SixSpotBurnet · 02/04/2008 14:40

Yes, nearly always, but for some reason it's become easier since having children - I don't know what strange effect that had on my anatomy!

Anna8888 · 02/04/2008 14:41

With my partner, who I met when I was 35 - orgasm from penetration alone every time, including the first time.

But before that - never, ever.

It's a state of mind and being, IMO. Self-awareness and consciousness and the ability to let yourself go.

Childbirth was the same mental and physical process - just needed to let my body take over my mind....

skyatnight · 02/04/2008 14:45

Hm, it's interesting that many people are still together with the first person who was able to give them a penetration orgasm. I will keep looking.

SixSpotBurnet · 02/04/2008 14:45

I wouldn't want to only have orgasms from penetration alone, mind you. I like a bit of variety.

Anna8888 · 02/04/2008 14:46

skyatnight - it's a dealmaker

skyatnight · 02/04/2008 14:49

Yes, I can only imagine, Anna.

Ahhhh, the romantic holy grail of simultaneous orgasms. Just like Mills & Boon.

StillWaters · 02/04/2008 14:51

I had never had an orgasm till I got a vibrator, and still can't get there without it.

Not sure why? I enjoy sex and am quite unhinited but just don't quite get there.

Novicecamper · 02/04/2008 14:52

Common here!

Anna8888 · 02/04/2008 14:53

SSB - don't you think that orgasm from penetration (no other stimulation) empties your head and relaxes you in a way that orgasm from clitoral stimulation never can?

Novicecamper · 02/04/2008 14:54

Agree with others that it happens more since had children. How bizarre.

Anna8888 · 02/04/2008 14:55

Novicecamper - do you think that you have got more in touch with your bodily feelings by having been pregnant/given birth?

skyatnight · 02/04/2008 14:57

Is it nature's way of compensating you for the pain of childbirth and encouraging you to 'do' 'it' again?

Anna8888 · 02/04/2008 15:00

skyatnight - no.

But orgasm from penetration and the whole pregnancy/childbirth process are highly related, IMO. All about loosening the mind's grip and letting your body take control.

Novicecamper · 02/04/2008 15:01

Anna - I don't think so, I don't think anything has changed there. I don't know why it is - maybe things are different, anatomically, down there?!

PotPourri · 02/04/2008 15:04

There's a different type as far as I know, different from the more common external related one. It's all internal, and feels much more fuzzy. Something related to the G-spot I think.

But in answer to the question, I think most people would say that type is quite rare.

mylittlepudding · 02/04/2008 16:09

I didn't deliver vaginally, and it definitely started with my DP but pre-children (I can remember the night tmi, sorry). Definitely a dealmaker!

DragonFaerie · 02/04/2008 16:11

Always used to with an ex

Rarely with loveable DH

Should I be worried??!

Remotew · 02/04/2008 16:23

Agree with Anna. It require the ability to really relax, free your mind and let your body take over. Something that females find hard to do especially if we are self conscious.

mrsleroyjethrogibbs · 02/04/2008 16:43

dragonfaerie,

nah no need to be worried. remember mens anatomies are different and shall we say stimulate you in different areas? I dont quite know how to put that without being explicit
