Q&A: Lost Orgasm

image

Each week, The CSPH answers questions that have been submitted through Formspring and Tumblr. This week’s question is:

I am a lesbian in a monogamous relationship, about to graduate college. I lost my orgasm; the last five times we’ve had sex I haven’t cum. During our latest session I could not achieve orgasm and my partner became very upset and frustrated. I think it is mostly directed at the situation and not specifically at me, but I also believe she blames herself and this breaks my heart. So my question is how do I fix this broken part of our relationship? And how can I get my orgasm back?! Please help!

Each week, The CSPH answers questions that have been submitted through Formspring and Tumblr. This week’s question is:

So…”sexual pleasure & health” – How does a guy get both, if he wants to — or, more accurately, needs to have unprotected sex (no condom)?  No cop-out/excuse; but, the moment I or my partner even begin to try and put a condom on me – my erection is gone … for the rest of the night – gone! How do I/we get around that … and we’ve already tried all the basic “remedies”?

I’m in my 30′s and in the past few years have started to look at underage girls pictures. I know this is wrong, and would never go further than this. Sadly my girlfriend discovered this, and everything has gone to hell. I want to change.  [What should I do?]
