    Orgasm Struggles: It's Not Her Fault

    Best quote from Orgasm Struggles: It's Not Her Fault

    “

    When orgasm becomes the sole focus and measure of 'successful' sex, it creates performance anxiety that can actually make it harder to reach climax. When couples shift the focus away from orgasm as the goal and toward overall pleasure and connection, orgasms often happen more naturally.

    ”

    Input question

    I have a problem when I have sexual intercourse. I am not able to orgasm and my wife thinks it's her fault. My wife likes the feeling of me cumming and is disappointed if I don't.
