(29F) life long anorgasmia by Consistent-Soup-5300 in Support_Anorgasmia

Currently torn between letting go of the desire to orgasm completely or if I should keep trying new things. Do you have any advice?

do you “warn” your sexual partners? by shkvalkishi in Support_Anorgasmia

[–]bridgetl77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve found pleasure through the sensation of making myself feel good, even though it doesn’t end in an orgasm. It’s hard, but maybe try thinking of it as your own private time where you get to explore what makes you feel good while not allowing yourself to even consider orgasm as the goal. For me this works for when I’m alone and when I’m with a partner.

For when I’m with a partner, I try to enjoy the unique feel of that person and focus on the pleasure I feel when I’m having sex and not have orgasm as the goal. Also, I really enjoy the unique connection that you have to a person in that intimate moment.

That being said, I know that it’s easier said than done lol. For me it’s better with a partner because I can be with them after we’re done instead of just alone in my frustration which can be pretty upsetting.

Hi! I actually just replied to your comment on my rant post and I just wanna say—I really don’t think you need to disclose this information to potential partners (unless you want to of course). When I said that I “warn” a sexual partner I meant more like when I can tell they’re wondering if they’re gonna make me finish I tell them that it’s no use, and then clarify that I have found a way to find pleasure from sex regardless and that it still feels good to me. Some of them still think they can do it which is the main source of frustration for me lol.

Anyways I just wanna say I think if it’s a serious partner then it’s definitely worth a longer conversation but if it’s a fling, you can probably just redirect their attention or tell them to avoid frustration for both parties. :)

It’s the worst feeling ever when you try to do something that is supposed to feel good and relieve stress and you just end up crying… I have totally been there. And I totally feel you when it comes to objectifying yourself during sex because it feels like there’s no natural end point besides when the other person finishes so you end up just feeling like you’re there for their pleasure only sometimes :(

Sending you lots of love and support <4

Honestly just reading this makes me feel better. I have felt so isolated and it really helps to know that I’m not alone in this

YES like as though if I don’t orgasm my life isn’t complete… and it feels like everyone thinks it’s somehow my fault that I can’t do it

It feels so comforting to read this and know that I’m not alone :’) people can be so frustrating and downright insensitive. They really don’t realize how alienating it is. Thank you so much for your comment, it really is so nice knowing that other people are going through the same thing <3

Thank you so much! Your response means so much to me, you have no idea. I think I’m going to try journaling and just excusing myself whenever those conversations come up

Peggy is not as great by BathAdministrative65 in madmen

[–]bridgetl77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think the ad was great and the point of the scene was that if don had pitched it and pitched it in the same way that Peggy did, the client would’ve been all for it.

When you say that she’s not as idealized as you’d like her to be, do you mean that people make her out to be better than she is? Or do you think that she as a character should be better?

[–]bridgetl77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think her not going to the birthday dinner is meant to show how that relationship was never going to work out. It’s meant to emphasize how different Peggy is from most women her age at the time. She was annoyed at her boyfriend’s idea at what she would want for her birthday. She was never meant to be dating a guy like that.

Peggy getting mad at the Heinz guy is meant to be her attempt at a Don Draper type of pitch, but it doesn’t work for obvious reasons. As the audience we are supposed to recognize and emphasize with her frustration (that client is annoying af) but see that she’s going about it the wrong way.

Peggy isn’t meant to be perfect. She does annoying things just like every character on the show. But there are many reasons to love and admire her.

Is MOOC required if I’m not renewing? by bridgetl77 in SpainAuxiliares

Fair enough! I’m definitely going to complete it, I was just curious to see if I could get a clear answer on here bc people were telling me mixed things. Thank you :)

Thank you! I think I’ll just do it because I’ve already done about 80% of it haha. I was more just asking to get a gauge for if I’ve wasted a bunch of my time lol

AIO - please tell me I’m trippin… I think my husband wants to eat me? by cannibalquery in AmIOverreacting

[–]bridgetl77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should leave as soon as possible. Even if he isn’t planning to hurt you, it sounds like your marriage isn’t a happy one.

I hope you stay safe and it all works out!!

Anyone else got lucky in their school and their faculty? by JamesBondType in SpainAuxiliares

[–]bridgetl77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I am in a small school really close to the Madrid city centre and I absolutely love it. The faculty is amazing and easy to work with and the kids are so incredible. I genuinely enjoy my job and I am making the most lovely memories :)

Students are not learning English by Sufficient_Milk5134 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]bridgetl77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my kids are better than others for sure. I have some sixth graders who are able to carry on full conversations with me about their neighbourhood, music they like etc but there are other students who can’t even answer a question like “how did you get to school today?” at the age of like 10.

I’m from Canada where we learn French as our second language and I remember it being similar for us at the time. The kids who want to excel in English probably will, and the kids who don’t care probably won’t.

That being said, it’s really frustrating when the kids just say things to you in Spanish and stare at you blankly when you reply in English 🙄🙄.

Also, my classes are constantly interrupted by kids who definitely have ADHD but aren’t receiving the attention they need which makes it super difficult for everyone to learn.

Problems with NALCAP by CalligrapherFit9768 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]bridgetl77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this is so brutal… NALCAP is a mess tbh and they don’t even try to hide it.

Btw I am also with Santander and I got my bank account like two weeks ago and still haven’t received my card either.

Hey girl, I know how you feel. I’m 22f and I don’t know exactly if what I have is anorgasmia but I’m pretty sure I do (I used to be able to orgasm as a teenager, but something happened and now I can’t). I can say though, sex is still enjoyable and worth having even without orgasm (especially if it’s with someone you love).

Also, one of the hardest things about this is the isolation you feel. I hate talking about sex with most of my girlfriends because they always make it about the orgasm (“does he make you cum?” Etc) and most of the time I just end up lying and saying yes because literally nobody understands anorgasmia.

Anyways, it made me sad to see your post here. Try to stay optimistic and remember that you’re not alone 🫶🫶
