Anyone here with Endometriosis? sex Q (maybe tmi)

[DemDem94]

Hi this might be just me, but I have Endo, and well recently ive noticed certain times during the month when my dp touches me there or we have sex I feel totally numb there, it also takes me a extremely long time to climax, is this just me?
Be nice to here from other endo sufferers.

Yes this happens to me! I always thought I was weird, but sometimes I feel really numb down there and can’t orgasm, or my orgasms feel very weak, it’s got worse with time as well. Sorry, don’t have any solutions, but you’re not alone.

@Elsiebear90 thanks for the reply. That’s what happens to me but only certain times of the month, like a week before my period is due. I feel numb and can’t orgasm or if I do it takes like what seems nearly 30 to 45 minutes to achieve and isn’t worth it
Most the time when I’m not feeling numb it still takes a good while to orgasm.
I said to my dp the other day sex must feel like I right task for you these days, he said it’s fine and it doesn’t. But I feel like I’m letting him down and he will get bored of trying.

How old are you ?
This can happen as you get older and head towards menopause.

Well I’m 30 and definitely not menopausal, I think it’s the endometriosis, because it definitely coincided with my periods, and was probably the first symptom I had, along with pain, but now it’s happening most of the time. I genuinely a lot of the time cannot feel what is happening inside my vagina (sorry tmi) and if I do feel anything it’s usually pain. I’m lucky in a way that I’m a lesbian, so penetrative sex isn’t so important, but it makes me feel very limited sexually and it has had a knock on effect that I want sex less. I wish I had a solution or answer.

I’m 27 so definitely not menopause.
Penetrative sex can get painful towards my period time which I have to work out now as I don’t have periods due to having the Endometrial ablation when I had key hole surgery to determine what was causing me so much pain in my abdomen which turned out to be endo.
I’ve noticed over the past 3 months that the numbing and the struggle to orgasm comes towards the end of the month which is around the time the pain gets worse, when I had periods they was at the end of the months.

This morning me and dp had sex (sorry tmi) and I managed to orgasm, though after trying for 5 days it wasn’t worth the wait it built up as if it was going to be intense and I was expecting a huge firework to go off and nothing lol
