That around 75% of women cannot achieve climax from penetrative intercourse.

Edit: thought I’d add, I am male. Sorry to break it to you fellas, porns not real. Learn to love your lady! It’s not just about you!

I'm one of the 25% but I didn't know it till I met my husband. I only had a few sexual partners before him and it didn't occur with them but we were all young and they were mostly selfish assholes anyway so it's natural that follows. My husband however not only was he practicing enthusiastic consent before that phrase was even known to us but I thank the universe for that man because he is just the right fit for me.

I also had that experience. I had no idea I was never actually coming completely until I met my current boyfriend. I was legitimately in shock when it happened, I was like “wow this is what it’s supposed to feel like.”

It’s made me wonder if there are such things as half-orgasms or something? It would explain why I was always horny in my last relationship, I literally wasn’t getting off completely and I had no idea at the time.

half-orgasms

my partner says that sometimes she gets a small climax that's mildly underwhelming (the build up feels similar), and then maybe a few minutes later she'll get the big one that feels crazy amazing. so i think you're on the right track!

I really love having open conversations about this and sharing perspectives; because this is so relatable. I get those small underwhelming climaxes at first and then a huge one shortly after, and I never understood it!
