Some surprising facts from the Colonel

Orgasm and penetration

by Dr Sarah Brewer

question
I can't achieve an orgasm from penetration. I've tried many different positions and nothing works for me. Even if my boyfriend touches my clitoris during intercourse, I feel nothing from penetration. Is this problem common and is there any surgery that can help me?

answer
At least 1 in 8 women - probably more - do not achieve orgasm during penetration. In fact this is so common, it can almost be classed as normal for the female not to achieve orgasm during the thrusting action of intercourse itself. Most women require direct clitoral stimulation plus an emotional input to reach climax. A technique called 'the bridge manoeuvre' can help you experience an orgasm during penetration. Put simply, your partner brings you to the point of climax using direct, gentle, well-lubricated stimulation of the clitoris, then quickly inserts his penis to trigger your orgasm when you tell him you are about to come.
