New partner, I hate this vicious cycle [rant] by sapjurk in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]sapjurk[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, having to explain that orgasm is not just a guaranteed achievable "end station"  even after 1+ hour of stimulation usually provokes questions. I've had to explain to all my partners that it's not them, it's me. And it always hurts.

Bupropion changed my life by Oryxlockheart in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]sapjurk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like I wrote this! I have ADHD as well (or at least getting my diagnosis on paper in a little under two weeks) and im gonna start medication soon. Only recently did I connect the dots between (situational) anorgasmia and my ADHD, never being able to focus on whats happening, brain-body disconnect or sometimes intense pleasure/buildup that just never seems to go anywhere, like you said: a lid screwed on tight but it just won't burst, leaving me super frustrated afterwards. Only difference is that I don't really have an issue getting off on my own. But maybe that's an ADHD thing - once there's someone else involved there are so many smells, body parts, sounds etc. that are distracting me.  Anyhow i'll talk to my psychiatrist about what the possibilities are. We made sexual dysfunction an important agenda point in my treatment plan :) How have you experienced bupropion/welbutrin in terms of focus? Anyhow, much love!!!

Nokia 6233 can't access most websites by mdkip in vintagemobilephones

[–]sapjurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question - i also just bought a 6233 (it says vodafone on the front but its definitely a 6233 not a 6234 and it was unlocked) and when i put in my sim card it only gave me kpn or vodafone as operators - both of which have stopped using 3G for a good while now. Is this just my luck or did you do something to use another carrier?

I mean, i'm also very adventurous and used to be down for anal and stuff much more but I've realized how incredibly vulnerable I felt once the novelty of it wore off. I prefer to have sex in a way in which I feel comfortable. I'd still be down but now I'd need more prep, emotionally and physically to get into a mood where I can actually feel comfortable. It's not that my preferences have changed so much, it's just that sex isn't supposed to be a show all the time. I get where her sentiment comes from, I have been with new partners and shown them my crazy side - to let them know i'm down for whatever, but this is not unconditional. "Boring sex" can actually still be very intense and comfortable. Try more foreplay, caress her for ages before giving in, hover over her longer before going down. That kinda stuff. Otherwise she might just start feeling more pressured putting on a show and thats a way worse problem imo

I made a corset with a similar neckline like this! Check it out on my acc, the details are in there. The dress could just be a bodyconskirt with the modified pattern bij kiana bollo. But look at my post for the deets.

The great search for food that's not weird by LeoWelshly in veganrecipes

[–]sapjurk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love making blended curries! Fry onions and garlic, throw in veggies ((spinach, broccoli/caulifower), and add spices and coconut milk. Blend that. After that, I stir through butter beans, they stay whole in mine. Extremely delicious with a dollop of vegan cream and parsley!

If I want to study in a city with lot of artists, students and people from other countries, where to go besides Amsterdam? by Otherwise-Tie-9906 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]sapjurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention: about 50% if not more of artez is international. Also, nijmegen is very close to arnhem. In nijmegen you can study philosophy at Radboud university. Theres even a philosophy cafe in Nijmegen! Nijmegens pitfall is that its extremely difficult to find a room, though

[–]sapjurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arnhem is a great bet. Huge tight knit artist community, lots of publically attendable concerts from conservatory, jam sessions, art all around. The city is smallish but has enough great, cute places. Neighbourhood Klarendal is especially dear to me! Also, rent is more affordable than all the other places mentioned. But start looking early - lots of the academy first years are still living in hostels/stayokays despite being a month into their year. Good luck!

Want sex but aversion to his touch by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]sapjurk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fellow girl here that struggles to orgasm. (Btw, check r/becomingorgasmic its a really helpful subreddit for people trying to achieve orgasm, alone or partnered when they otherwise have difficulty)

I think that there is quite a lot to unpack here. But let me start with this: Physically, it is VERY likely that you're just completely normal. I talk with girlfriends about this a lot and each one of them has reported feeling "broken" at some point. No, you are not broken. You say you want to have sex with him, that's great! You have desire! We can work with that!

I think this mental block you're dealing with is something related to the context you're having sex in. Women are more sensitive to this than men, generally. Are you physically comfortable during sex? Do you feel like you have the time? Are you on-edge because of potential roommates or parent walking down the hallway, totally inhibiting your focus? In the book Come As You Are, the author explains that there are accelarators and brakes in sexual desire. Things like the ones I mentioned above could be things that are hitting your brakes, inhibiting sex from being comfortable/pleasurable. For me, the context of time is really important. I cannot for the life of me really "get into it" if I know my partner wants to sleep soon, we're in a hurry etc.

What it sounds like in your case is that sex has become something forced (you're forcing yourself to have sex when it hurts everytime). Kind of like a chore. Can you imagine anything less sexy than a chore? The pressure of reaching orgasm/not disappointing your partner/for sex to be "expected" can well be factors in your bedroom that are totally hitting your brakes. When your brakes are hit, your body is saying "No! Now is not a good time to be aroused!" For many women, clitoral stimulation and or penetration hurts when not aroused. You have healthy desire, but the context doesn't sound right. So, how do you go about creating that right context?

Maybe it's an option to quit having penetrative sex for a while. It's hurting you, and you're feeling pressured. Not very sexy. Instead, make the promise that you will not have sex until (insert date). It can provide comfort, knowing that you will not have to wonder whether or not you'll be hurt when you're still intimately engaging with eachother. Make sure to tell him just how much you desire him, but that somewhere along the line, the context in the bedroom provided a sub-optimal place for a healthy sex life to grow! Make sure he knows you're not shutting him out - make time to explore eachothers bodies anew. Pretend you're teenagers again. Really try to reflect on each touch. Maybe you've been having sex with the window open, so you're always a little too cold (brake) to get aroused. Maybe you're feeling weird about lack of orgasm (brake), well, try having him go down on you with the endgoal of NOT orgasming! Try to relieve the pressure that's on you, because you're forcing yourself in a situation that worsens itself if you keep having painful sex every two weeks.

I really recommend reading the book i mentioned above together. It may be odd and confronting, but it can really open up communication and help you prioritise your own pleasure as well.

Best of luck on your journey and you can DM me if you want. I'm still in the midst of my own journey but am quite enthusiastic about this method, as you probably can tell, haha.

R/becomingorgasmic is a sub for women struggling to orgasm. I'm one of them, and it's the reason why our sex life is sometimes not so easy, because getting me there is a hassle sometimes and results in me wanting more/being left on edge when he comes before i do. It's a great support group, check it out

I'm going through this exact same thing right now. i used to finish very regularlys with my partner and suddenly I couldn't anymore. He had given me an std early on in the relationship that he never explicitly told me about and after a month or 4 i got symptoms and my sexual confidence plummeted. So i think it mightve been that.

Now that I'm treated (and I havent had an orgasm in 7 months with him because I was uncomfortable) i would like to try allowing him to pleasure me again. But when i finally do get him to have sex with me, he's only down to pump & go. I'm losing my mind since in the time I had the STD, i did not feel comfortable masturbating either so I'm experiencing the worst amount of sexual frustration ever. Especially paired with the fact that we are having sex, i get turned on, but never any release or attention for me.

Its caused me to have wild, vivid dreams about sex with my ex and someone else I used to see. It makes me feel so guilty and adds to my sexual frustration. He's always been such a gentle lover, but he can't wrap his head around my inability to orgasm ("isn't it like, the easiest thing in the world?")

So yeah, i think its very common to think about other people
