Thank you so much for your question. First, let me commend you for taking an active role in your relationship and wanting to know more about your girlfriend’s sexuality. Your situation is not uncommon. Many women are ticklish during oral sex. Sometimes just the thought of oral sex and the intimacy involved can make a woman tense. If a person (man or woman) isn’t comfortable, then nothing will feel good. If you want to try oral sex again, start slowly and ask for your girlfriend’s feedback at every step of the way. Together, you may be able to discover a new technique so that she becomes less ticklish and more stimulated during oral sex. But there is nothing wrong with your girlfriend’s sexual response - she does have orgasms from manual stimulation and sexual intercourse. It is important to remember that sexual pleasure is not universal. Just because some people love oral sex doesn’t mean that everyone enjoys it to the same degree. Again, thank you for your submission. I hope that this information has helped you. Feel free to write back if you have any additional questions.
