Is it possible to feel sexual pleasure as a woman or is it just

>>17876193
Yes, it is very much possible. The vast majority of women feels physical pleasure during sex and can reach orgasm, both through vaginal and clitoral stimulation.
You should see a doctor if you cannot orgasm in any way. It is really not normal.

>enjoyed sex in an intellectual way
What kind of sex have you been having, and will you teach me?

> it apart from in an intellectual way,
WTF

Do you masturbate? You should

>>17876193
I think this is a fairly common issue.
How old are you and what do you do with most of your time?
Do you excercise? What is your diet like?
Can you masturbate to orgasm?
I think it's important to understand that everyone's sexuality is very different. If you are in the US, media does its' best to destroy our perception of sexuality for both male and female.
Remember that being turned on has a lot to do with where you are emotionally.

>>17876271
Yeah I've masturbated

>>17876282
I'm 23

I spend most of my time on the computer

I exercise 3 times a week, running, very rarely calisthenics

My diet is mostly rice beans and potatoes (I'm poor)

No I cannot

>>17876298
I'm poor too. ;)
I would suggest getting away from the computer. It drains your essence away as you pour energy into it consistently.
I understand money is a limiting factor, but if there was a way for you to take a small trip somewhere different, for sure do it.
There is a small chance you could have some kind of nerve disorder, but I doubt it. I feel that this is somehow psychologically related.
Do you get physically aroused (wet)? Is there just no sensation at all when you touch yourself anywhere?

>>17876321
Well I do have sensation, I'm not completely numb, but it's not pleasureable

I do get wet if I watch porn

>>17876249
>>17876263
pls just let OP be pretentious in peace ffs

>>17876339
Well, every clit is different.
When you say it's not pleasurable do you mean it hurts?
When you masturbate are you rubbing your clit directly or using the 'hood' around it to stimulate it by proxy?
Do you use any toys?
And you only become aroused by porn or have been aroused in the company of a lover before?

I think it's good that you aren't numb. I think you just need to find the right way to stimulate yourself.

>>17876356
No it doesn't hurt

I mean it feels no more pleasurable than touching my elbow. It just feels normal

I rub my clit directly as I don't have much of a hood.

Yeah I have a couple of vibrators, waste of money.

I've never really been aroused by someone touching me in real life

>>17876379
Do you feel sexual attraction to people in real life?

>>17876398
Yes, I'm attracted to masculinity. I had crushes on guys when I was a teenager.

>>17876400
I mean have you been sexually aroused with a partner?
You can become sexually aroused and then have sex but feel no pleasurable sensation at all?

>>17876415
I've never become sexually aroused by having sex with someone, I do get aroused from porn and fantasy though

I've never felt pleasure from sex or foreplay at all.

>>17876422
And you aren't taking any medications?
I still very strongly feel that this is an emotional issue.
Have you ever felt strong feelings of love/closeness and lust for another man? Are you open to experiencing those feelings?

After reading this thread sounds like you need a Doctor.

>>17876431
I'm not on any medication

Yes I have felt strong feelings of love for a man, they've never liked me back though.

>>17876438
Okay.
So you haven't (yet) experienced a relationship of mutual love/lust/caring with another person?

I'm not certain, but I think that this may have something to do with it.

>>17876455
Yes I've never had a relationship, I wouldn't know how to get one though.

Have you tried giving yourself a vaginal orgasm? Most girls get off through clitoral stimulation but some get off through penetration.

It seems to me like you find it more enjoyable to engage in fantasy than to actually have sex. Do you feel bored during sex? Like your mind/emotions aren't stimulated?

I think I might know what you're talking about, OP, with feeling stuff but it not being pleasurable.

I struggled with masturbation for years and years, I was never able to bring myself to orgasm, because touching myself just wasn't sexual to me. it was too clinical, it didn't feel good, it just felt like I was cleaning the area or something. No real pleasure from the sensation.

The problem for me was that I just wasn't mentally engaged with it. Fantasizing wasn't really enough, I'd get distracted, I'd start worrying about things, my head just wouldn't be in the game. And if my head wasn't in the game, no amount of stimulation would get it into the game.

If you're like me, chances are you need something to help you relax and focus and actually get aroused. For me, having an attentive sex partner helped a lot, because the fact that it wasn't just me made me better able to focus on what was happening. You should also do everything you can to make sure you're not being pulled out of arousal by things like worry. (Here's something for your reference, this site also has other useful articles about things like responsive desire http://www.thedirtynormal.com/blog/2014/06/22/the-dual-control-model/ )

My suggestion would be to try to find ways to reduce stressors in your life and really get yourself into a sexual headspace before beginning sex or masturbation. And you also have to experiment to find out what you like. It's not just a matter of where you touch, but how you touch it.

And honestly, it wasn't until after I had my first orgasm with that partner that I was really able to start figuring out how my body worked. You may end up needing the same thing. The first orgasm is the hardest. It'll take time and effort and trial and error to make it happen. Expect to get close but not make it a lot. But once it does happen, you know how to make it happen again. And it gets easier and easier on average as those pathways become more reinforced.

>>17876814
I'm actually able to experience pleasure and masturbate now, a few years down the line. It took a lot of work to figure out what I liked, and what specifically it took to get my brain under control and paying attention to sexual things instead of other stuff. And once I knew what I liked, I was able to get toys that more accurately mimicked what I knew got me off, which helped a lot.

However, if you try all these things and still have nothing, you should probably see a doctor or a sex therapist. There might be some mental stuff you have to unpack first, or a physical reason you're having trouble.

Speaking of physical reasons, older antidepressants such as SSRIs are infamous for causing problems with sex, arousal, and orgasm. Are you by any chance on these?

you could be asexual also.

>>17876193
Women enjoy sex, although some of them have trouble reaching orgasm especially through intercourse alone.

A lot of guys are kind of shitty at sex, especially when you're young, but you may have something else going on. Not having erogenous zones is not normal (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anhedonia#Sexual_anhedonia), and you may want to talk to a doctor about it or do some research online at the very least.

You also might just be asexual.

Improve your blood circulation. These areas feel pleasure when engorged which needs good blood flow. Have you tried oral sex? G spot stimulation?Have you looked into a variety of kinks? With proper exploration you will find something that arouses you sexually. Sounds like you try masturbation because you figure something is wrong instead of just going with an urge as you naturally should. A picture of your clit might help us with other ideas and also i am a pervert.
