Thank you for submitting your question. Your question is common, so do not worry. There are two answers to your question. Your inability to have an orgasm may be due to your partners and may be due to you. An orgasm is not simply a physical reaction. Emotionally and mentally, you need to be relaxed enough to experience it. If you are tense, anxious, or only focused on the orgasm, chances are you will psych yourself out of having one. But you also may not know exactly what pleases you yet. If you are not sure what gives you pleasure and how to create that sensation, it is unlikely that your partners will be able to do it. But do not panic. Just because you have never had an orgasm doesn't mean you won't ever have one. If you are comfortable masturbating, you may be able to find out where and what is most stimulating for you. From there, you can share this with your partner. I hope this information helps.
