Ask SSIS: When my partner and I have sex, I never orgasm. How do I get my funk on?

Thank you so much for your question! It can be difficult to navigate a pleasure gap when having sex with your partner. Perhaps it could be valuable to open up a conversation about what you know your likes and dislikes are. If you are unsure what those may be, it is okay! It could be valuable to explore on your own before talking with your partner. But it is okay to leave things open, as exploring with your partner can be another way to build intimacy and trust. Before a roll in the hay, have a conversation with your partner. It may help to have the conversation in a neutral moment, as your desires may change when you’re hot and bothered. Some things that you can discuss are: whether you like dirty talk, where you like to be touched (or not), and what positions are most comfortable. It is okay if this feels unfamiliar or awkward! All of these conversations can build intimacy and trust, which are ingredients in the recipe for a good orgasm. So it is time to get it on—what now?
