Since it’s Wednesday, and humpday, I’m going to designate Wednesday’s as the day we talk specifically about sex. It seems appropriate in terms of placement.
I think growing up we all had an idea of how we wanted or expected our sex lives to be. And as we got older we either dabbled in our fantasies, bringing them to life or we learned (incorrectly) that sex in our fantasies and sex in real life are very different things.
For those of us who dabbled and/or are dabbling now you may be finding a disconnect between your fantasies and your reality. Why is that?
First, it is simple. There’s no one around when you fantasize so it’s easy to be wild and free. Maybe you have a few toys, maybe you have a plethora of toys, maybe you watch some nasty porn, or maybe like me you have/do all of the above depending on your mood. But still, you’re finding a lack in your actual sex life.
If we remove the fact that your partner may not be living up to the standards of your fantasies and focus on you, the second conflict is a bit more complicated in nature. See, what most people don’t realize is that sex is more about how you feel and what you’re thinking than the physical act of penis in vagina. For a simple break down of good sex vs. great sex, read this previous post asking have you ever had great sex?
As a woman you can probably relate to a sexual experience where I’m sure he was doing a great job but you just couldn’t ‘get there.’ And if you’re very in tune with yourself then you know that has nothing to do with him and everything to do with your own psychology. To reach an orgasm with a partner, especially, if not singularly with women, you have to allow yourself to be vulnerable. That is the key to a great orgasm. And it’s not always easy for a number of reasons, all of which are completely unique and personal. Vulnerability and ‘letting go’ in that moment determine whether or not you’re going to allow your body to become all sensation and energy and fall off that cliff, spiralling downward into an earth shattering orgasm while another is present. Not an easy feet for some. And it certainly wasn’t for me. I was four years into my sexual career before I had an orgasm with another, FOUR! Let me give you the backstory, but first let that sink in. ***F.O.U.R.***
I’ve been sexually curious and expressive for as long as I can remember. I touched myself and learned to reach orgasm at a very young age, probably by the age of 8 or 9. I could achieve an orgasm, not really knowing what I was doing, just knowing that if I did ‘this and this’ it felt really good and eventually there was a peak where an overwhelmingly good feeling exploded through my body. By high school (age 13) I knew what I was doing and started experimenting with different ways to do it. Pfff, by the time I had sex when I was 16 I was a first class masterbater, sometimes cuming within seconds, and exploring my physical limits in terms of multiple orgasms. I bought my first toy, a rubber vibrator that was pink and ‘life-like.’ I decided I wanted my first sexual experience to be about sex and not about love, learning at a young age to separate the two feelings and needs. My goal was to have a sexual partner that I could have sex with for life, or at least until one of us married and had children, knowing that we wouldn’t share that experience.
Some people might be scoffing right now, and that’s okay. We all have different boundaries and are raised differently, but regardless of how you were raised, try to understand where I was coming from. I was young and free to make my own decisions, very conscious and aware, and above average intelligence. This was the decision I made for myself. And my mother supported me in it once I explained my feelings. She actually bought me that first toy. Ha! Again, let me reiterate that I am Canadian born and raised, and the freedom to choose is a natural thing in my life, even though I was raised around many different cultures with many different beliefs I always valued my freedom to choose above all else, especially as a conscious and very sexual woman. Let’s continue.
I reached my goal of finding a sexual partner I could have casual sex with and leave the relationship to another. We learned each other quickly and I must say I was very satisfied. That being said, let’s go back to the fact that I didn’t reach orgasm with another for FOUR long years. I found it difficult to let myself be exposed in that moment. And you might say, what’s more exposed than being naked in front of someone and letting them enter you and touch your naked body, but you know what, it was more difficult for me to be present in that moment than it was to let someone touch me.
This is a subject I would like to delve into in MUCH more detail, so if you like this post, take the time to give it a quick ‘Like’ and if you want to learn more about how to let yourself be vulnerable and achieve mind blowing orgasms with someone, Follow.
Til tomorrow darlings.
