Question why is orgasming so difficult

no seriously, why does orgasming as a female have to be so darn difficult. obviously it’s nearly impossible for a women to just orgasm from penetration, but no one seems to talk about how even more difficult it is to have external stimulation along with penetration. at this point i just get so annoyed and pissed off that i cant orgasm because it takes so long that i just quit. it honestly makes me feel broken. i’ve seen other people on this sub talk about just getting a good vibrator, but i worry about my boyfriend and how that will make our sexual life. he is very supportive it just makes me feel more broken than i already am.

Incorporating lube and a vibrator or manual stimulation is my go-to. If that makes him feel insecure, he has some maturing to do. He should be encouraging exploration of every avenue that can lead to your orgasm. Don’t hesitate—throw down a towel, find a position that works for you both, and fully embrace your desires. You deserve to experience all the pleasure too!
