I can't really offer a perspective from the view point of not having a uterus, but I do know that I have often felt contractions in my uterus during orgasm (it was most especially pronounced when I was pregnant). So I can certainly see there would be a difference without that contraction feeling.

Hopefully your orgasm is still satisfactory, but just different? less

Thanx Laurel. Yeah, I think you are right, I was experiencing contractions, and now I don't. Hhhhhmmmmmm, it is taking some getting used to. I defintely missed it badly at first but I am trying to feel lots of other sensations now and concentrate on the clitoris etc. This website is helping a lot because there is so much to learn about and so many gadgets to aid oprgasm that I am sure that I will soon forget the old contractions. But at first I was devestated, to be honest, I really did feel I had lost something important. But I spoke to 3 psychologists and they all dismissed me!!!!

So I appreciate your reply, you have confirmed that I wasn't making it up!! less

It's really disappointing that the psychologists dismissed you. What happened to you is a serious change in your life - hopefully with a positive approach you will find new ways to fulfillment. The human body can be amazingly adaptable.

Godspeed and good luck. less

Did you have your ovaries removed also? Once hormone levels drop, orgasm intensity can drop too.

I had a hysterectomy, including removal of ovaries, 5 years ago. My orgasms don't feel any different. I know what you mean about the contractions. I worried that orgasms wouldn't be as strong without a uterus, but they seem to be. If I hold my hand on my abdomen, I can still feel the contraction. I thought I wouldn't w/o a uterus.

I've also started doing kegels every day. I strongly recommend that. You don't need a kegel exercisor. You can just squeeze numerous times/day. I try to vary it, squeezing many times for 2 seconds each, or doing fewer repetitions but squeezing as hard as I possibly can for 10 seconds. It takes weeks of regular kegeling before you notice a difference, but slowly they do become stronger.

Also, you might want to have your hormone levels checked. If they're out of balance or too low, that can affect orgasm. less

Thanx Tuesday. I still have my ovaries. I am 45 and I had some endometriosis on them but they managed to get it off without wrecking the ovaries so luckily they left them in there. I am glad your orgasms don't feel any different! Maybe this is hopeful. I just got a big shock when i had my first after the operation cos it just tried to go upwards and had nowhere to go!!

I do think that I am also feeling low after the operation so I am not at my peak emotional condition by anymeans. So that does make a difference too.

I do some kegels but not as many as you are saying!! I would like to get an excerciser to help remind me to do them. I think I will get my hormones checked too, I have thought about that. Never hurts to get checks.

Great to hear from someone who has been thru it and feels AOK!! less

I had my ablation and tubal ligation back in August. I feel different. I don't notice ovulation as much, even though I'm technically still supposed to ovulate (aren't I?)... I'm noticeably less horny, but hey...NO MORE PERIODS!

When I cum though, they feel just as good. I'm just having a harder time getting worked up and wet. less
