ORIGINAL: NoCalOwner What Topcat says is particularly true when one is talking about younger women, and I see that you are both in your 20s. It'll come easier with time. With the exception of the very small number of women who have a real physiological problem of some sort, the difficulties reaching orgasm have one cause: ego-stuckness. That's not a condemnation of anyone - just a recognition of the human condition - this tendency to be so self-conscious that we simply don't flow gracefully in any number of situations which arouse inappropriate, but powerful, fight or flight insticts that sometimes (often?) we're not even aware of. A non-sexual example: the #1 fear people report is fear of public speaking - for the very same reason - a painful sense of self-consciousness that paralyzes people who can speak pefectly well to their poker buddies or their girlfriends in person or on the phone. Of coures it happens to men too - but sex research has shown that most men (not all) are much more straightforward in their arousal response. A typical guy can have a REALLY bad day and get wood at the drop of a hat as he leaves the office and sees a woman in a mini-skirt bend over to pick up her keys. Women, typically, don't flip on and off that easily. While this is all good fodder for comedians and sex researchers alike, it's pretty tough for those who are struggling to flip on in the bedroom (or the dungeon) without success. That's one reason why BDSM sex can be so liberating for an otherwise stuck bottom - with the help of a decent top. When the power exchange dance is happening right, the bottom gets to just let go - responsibility and self-consciousness fly out the window. When that happens, so can orgasm. This basic BDSM theme of surrender as THE necessary prelude is really much more widespread than the BDSM community might think. By far the most popular genre of books is women's romance - and if you look at every single one of the covers (with Fabio or some other guy taking total control, while she swoons) they are all about this very experience of total surrender - whether for a lifetime - or for that brief moment. To make this work, find that second dom cranial carnage was talking about (grin), and get on his calendar. Seriously, make sure you TALK to him about this stuff as part of the necessary preliminary discussions of what you need and want - and the challenges you sometimes have in getting to where you want to go. Make sure you can TRUST him to respect whatever boundaries and hard limits you have, and also to do his little bit for the cause - to give you what you need, while he gets what he needs. Of course, that doesn't mean he'll want to eat you for an hour and a half (my jaw starts to ache, eh?). But it does mean that he'll understand that you'll need your own particular mix of TLC and RLC (rough loving care), and the ramp up time, and maybe the toys as well as the fingers, tongue, cock, etc to get where you want to go. Whatever the specifics, he'll do a better job when he has more information - and most tops really do enjoy themselves more with a better sexual roadmap of their bottom. We're into control, after all - whatever else we crave (smile). Oh...and while you're at it...don't just give him your own shopping list of wants and needs, loves and hates - but be REALLY interested in eliciting HIS, too. You might be amazed to find out that he's not really good at articulating what his particular EMOTIONAL turn on is in all this - even if he can whip out six porno tapes that show what he physically gets off on. And by caring deeply about HIS buttons (whether its a casual playdate or a lifetime love) you also do an end-around the bogey-woman of unhappy self-consciousness. I think that what Topcat says is true - because early adulthood is a time of terrible self-consciousness for too many women. But it's really possible to take a shortcut or two to your bliss, rather than wait till you're 40 to unabashedly embrace your inner slut-goddess, whatever you call her. I speak from real experience (as no doubt many here can) - not bragging at all - of using the erotic power exchange dynamic to initiate, and unstick, a number of stuck woman over the years. They're some of my fondest memories because I just LOVE that kind of mastery. And it's not just me - it gets a LOT of dommish types off - bigtime - including those who'd never call themselves doms. Enjoy the journey.... Yankeestick
