      Angel, did you ever masterbate, when you were younger? If not try it, it may make having an orgasm easier. If your concerned about having an orgasm with a partner, well, in my opinion, most younger men don't or won't take the time to fully arouse their partner, for us men, (not all) it's more important to achieve our own orgasm. At my age, (63) watching and bringing my partner to orgasm is more fun than intercourse. (almost) I hope you find a man who is patient and willing to wait until you are fully ready, before meeting his needs. Good Luck. PS. My phone # is in the book! (just kidding) Jordeli

    Sex is not all about a relationship but it is a very important part of a relationship. I love sex, it keeps me young and healthy.

    Sometimes I hope I become a lion, but I am just a cat.

    This is very insightful. My husband and I have been married for five years--second for both after several years of being single again. I am the one who desires sex more--he has some minor health issues and a very stressful job. It is frustrating to rethink this intimacy thing. Right now, i am frustrated, disillusioned, discouraged, and concerned but Emma's comments are encouraging. Would like to hear from others.

    I think sex is not all about a relationship and as we get to know one another. we will get turned on and want apart of each other. I know for me I love to make love but I also like to go to concerst and movies, dancing and hiking or camping and by doing things together you get to know each other and sex come naturaly not forced. hugging and just being together sometimes breaks the ice for those just getting into the swing of romance again.
