Dr. Betty,

I'm 42 and divorced and have been sexually inhibited most of my adult life. I'm in a new relationship with a wonderful partner and he's asking for more participation from me. I'm very quiet, not much sound at all, even when I do have an orgasm. He wants a little bit of "conversation" during sex and I'm also very shy about that. I love him, I want him to be happy and I really would like to do the things he's asking me to do. How do I get around my inhibitions? Also, I've never, ever had an orgasm during intercourse, only with stimulation of my clitoris. Is this something that's wrong with me? Am I doing something wrong?
