Would you be disappointed if your girlfriend could not have an orgasm?

I never orgasm during sex, but it doesn't bother me or him

I know it bothers my husband that I've never been able to reach orgasm (in any way AT ALL), but he knows that it isn't his fault. I just don't think that I'm capable of it.

If it was something that she was physically incapable of, that would be disappointing, though it'd mostly be that she couldn't share in as much of the joy. If it was just a failure in technique, it'd mean some changes, but variety is the spice of life.

I can't always reach orgasm when with someone else. I feel ashamed about it at times but oh well. It just is what it is and hopefully people don't get upset with me about it.

I'm queer, and I would not be upset if I was with a girl who couldn't orgasm.

There's actually a really large number of women who can't orgasm.

Few women only orgasm from penetration alone. I only ... more
I'm going to agree that this part really bug me: "(...) or needs clitoral stimulation as opposed to just penetration."

That's most women. If someone is disappointed that their female partner can't or has difficulty reaching orgasm from penetration alone, they really need to open their eyes and learn a thing or two about women. Needing clitoral is nothing to be ashamed of or disappointed about, for either party.

There's many women who have great difficulty reaching orgasm, but I'm extremely suspicious of the notion that most of those women can't orgasm. Finding what works can be difficult, but one should never assume it's impossible. I've heard many tales, even on this very site, of women who thought they couldn't until they found the proper kind of stimulation.

Also keep in mind that orgasm is a standard physiological reaction in men, and male genitals are simply female genitals altered during early development by the presence of a Y chromosome. So it's not unreasonable to say orgasm is probably something all (or at least most) women are capable of.

Disappointed in HER, absolutely not. Disappointed in my own performance... perhaps. But remember it isn't the fault of either participant if penetration alone cannot bring about orgasm. Use fingers and your tongue to help her, as well as.... Holy cow, even this forum is sponsored by what?... a TOY Store. Buy them and use them for goodness sake.

Disappointed with her, absolutely not.

Disappointed that I couldn't get her there, of course.

Sometimes it's just not going to happen (that goes for her or for me), but if it rarely happened I would feel like there's something wrong with me and I was letting her down.

I'm that way myself. I think I MAY have orgasmed in the past but it's rare even if so. (Not to mention that people tell me that when you've orgasmed you'll know it.)

Since I'm interested in women, I'd be pretty sympathetic to others like that. On one level it would make me feel kinda bad about my skills, but on another hand it's an even draw and I can just concentrate on extending the pleasure as long as possible. So no, probably not dissapointing for me so long as it's fun.

Even if it's no one's fault, it's tough since it's supposed to be a reciprocal experience. When one party isn't satisfied, it's no longer mutual.
