I Can't Mentally Let Go & Orgasm

Dear Dr. Betty,

I’m 20 years old and I would love your advice. I am having trouble mentally letting go during sex and masturbation so I find it really difficult to have an orgasm. I have had a few sexual partners but only really managed to have an orgasm twice (both times when I was on top).

I Feel Like There's Pent Up Sexual Energy in Me That I Can't Release

Dear Dr Betty,

I'm a 15 year old girl and I've just tried stimulating my clitoris with a strong shower head to achieve an orgasm. I've masturbated numerous times with my fingers, through penetration, but it had never been this intense. In the shower, if I aimed shower head at the right position and just held it, the muscles in my body begin contracting immediately. After only a short period of time, my thighs clench, my back arches involuntarily and embarrassingly, and I don't stop moaning or biting myself. However,

How Long Does it Take a Woman to Orgasm?

Dr. Betty,

How long does it generally take a woman to orgasm? Time and time again, I hear guys say that their other girlfriends climaxed within 5 to 10 mins of sexual intercourse.

I Don't Feel Pleasure When I Touch My Clitoris

Hi Betty!

I just recently stumbled across your website and it's helped me a lot but I have a few questions about more specific things. I'm a 17 year old girl who has masturbated since 6th or 7th grade (12-13yrs old). When I first started I used my hand once or twice but then I read about using an electric toothbrush which worked really well, I used that method for a while until I learned about the shower head method which did wonders!

I Think I've Only Experienced Orgasm in My Sleep

Hi Dr. Betty,

I am a 49 year old woman who was raised very sexually repressed. I got married very late in life just 4 years ago. I have a very loving relationship with my husband who is almost 20 years my junior (and I don't care what other people think). I have had sexual partners prior to my marriage, but I can't say that I am sexually experienced. The dilemma that I am facing is that I have problems with arousal and orgasm. I don't think I have ever experienced an orgasm, only in my sleep.
