Just because you love your husband doesn’t mean you can climax during sex with him. Lauren calls into DrSuzy-Tv with precisely that problem, and I think that the questions she asks – along with my answers – can help many couples have better, more pleasurable and orgasmic sex lives.

Lauren has a lot of questions! I try to answer them all, including:

• Why is it that she – like so many women – can climax easily through solo sex, but not via intercourse with her husband?
• How can you integrate masturbation into lovemaking?
• How do you stop worrying about what society or your parents might think of you masturbating?
• What can we do about our embarrassment, anxiety or fear of losing control – which can prevent orgasm?
• Why do we so often hold our breath during sex?
• How does breathing deeply *into* your pelvis help you to experience orgasm?
• How do kegel exercises – squeezing and releasing the pubococcygeus (PC muscle) – help you to experience orgasm?
• What is the difference between “achieving” and experiencing orgasm?
• Is orgasm from just penetration somehow better than a clitoral orgasm – or is that just an “Old Husband’s Tale”?
• Why is it easier for most women to experience orgasm from clitoral stimulation than vaginal penetration?
• How important is lubrication and cunnilingus for female orgasm?
• Why is the clitoris called the “pearl of the oyster”?
• What is the difference between genital orgasms and “eargasms,” “toegasms,” and “nipplegasms”?
• Why is the clitoris involved in almost any female genital orgasm?
• How can we be more patient with ourselves and take the time we need for good sex?
• How is couples sex an art form? A spiritual practice? A team sport?
