I am really sorry that it has taken me so long to answer this question. Evidently there is something wrong with the server and it didn't send me a message that you had written.

Let me answer your question now even though it has been in my queue for a month. I apologize!

I know that you suggest in your question that you have a problem, but I see nothing in your question that indicates a problem. First, most females do NOT ejaculate. Only about 1% of women have a fluid ejaculation that occurs during climax. It is not something you should expect to have. Also, you mentioned that you only reach climax with clitoral stimulation. That is how the vast majority of women reach orgasm. I realize that there is a myth out there that penetration of something (usually a penis) into the vagina should produce an orgasm, but it does not for many, many women. In fact, even when penetration does create orgasm it is often the position of the couple where the thrusting motion actually rubs against the clitoris that stimulates the climax.

If you would like to ask more questions about this please feel free to write back, and I promise I will not take so long to answer!
