Question:
I am a 24-year-old female who has been divorced for over a year now. Since my divorce, I have found someone special and am now pregnant with my second child. However, I have not been able to have orgasms with anyone except my ex-husband. I become sexually very aroused, and feel like I am getting close, but I lose the sensation. It seems that the only way I can achieve orgasm is by masturbation. Is there something wrong with me?

Innumerable factors are responsible for a person to reach the orgasmic peak whilst having sex. State of the mind and body is an important factor. Stressed-up mind or a diseased body is a common obstacle, but seemingly insignificant causes are also just as important. Because you have experienced orgasms in the past with your ex, it is more difficult for you to understand the reason (and also very frustrating) for not being able to climax. I would suggest you to increase communication with your ‘someone special’ DURING sexual activity to show and tell him exactly how you like to be stimulated. Maybe that’s where your ex scored and enabled you to get the big O!
