Im a female and im not sure if ive ever had an orgasm... is something wrong with me?

    First let me throw in the disclaimer that I have not met you and I am NOT a doctor. That being said, the sole fact that you've never had an orgasm does not signal that anything is wrong with you. I meet women all the time who have never experienced orgasmic bliss, for a variety of reasons.

    One reason being that many women do not orgasm strictly through penetration. The most common and familiar orgasm is via the clitoris, which lies outside of your body. Orgasms from penetration, most often a G-spot orgasm, are more difficult to achieve...they're more along the lines of learned orgasms, but that does not mean that they are unobtainable!

    Another reason can be a lack of foreplay and/or the presence of stress. While men are very visual creatures and find arousal easy for the most part, women often rely on mental stimulation to reach arousal. The average woman needs about 15 minutes of foreplay simply to become aroused. If every sexual escapade falls under the title of "quickie" chances are you're not giving yourself enough time to even get aroused, no mind orgasm.

    And yes, some physical factors could certainly come into play...I am not sure of your age (menopause can cause vaginal dryness, etc) or if you experience dyspareunia (i.e. painful intercourse) or if there has been any past sexual trauma. But, chances are very likely that you are 100% good, healthy, and normal.

    My advice? Get to know your body...without a partner. Spend some time by yourself- get comfortable, ensure that you won't be interrupted or distracted, and have a mirror handy. Perhaps put on some soft music, dim the lights a bit, and lay back and relax. Explore with your hands and then, using the mirror, with your eyes. Know your parts and know what if feels like for each of them to be touched. Then figure out how you like to be touched. Self exploration can be your first step towards orgasmic bliss!
