Crying instead of orgasm

Ok, so those of you who know me know I cant orgasm. Well the other day when my bf and I were fooling around, it was getting really really really good and then I just started to cry and couldnt stop for ages! I think I was still crying 20 minutes after we stopped having sex. :confused: anyone else known this to happen?

Having sex triggers hormones such as oestrogen which make you more 'womanly', and more likely to express emotion. so it definately has been known to happen!
One of the reasons you can't orgasm may be because of this; if you're not feeling on top of the world, and are stressed, then you're less likely to orgasm. That's why sex is rubbish the first time round! :biggrin:
I recommend you talk to your bf, and you never know, you can both laugh it off and then it might not happen next time!
But don't worry, you're not the only one! :biggrin: xxx
Never heard of it before..

I could never orgasm and although I used to really enjoy sex and never thought anything of it, it used to really frustrate guys I was with. The point is orgasming for women isn't intuitive you have to learn how to do it.
Get really loved us with your boyfriend (wine may help the situation) get some oil or something and spend some time loving your body.

Or try a toy, is a good site.:wink:

How scary would that be if they started crying, I would think I was being recorded or summat...

Learn summat new everyday...
I cried instead of orgasming a few days ago, but it was a really emotional time; we'd been crying before the sex and come to a pivotal point in the relationship, and the sex just re-opened the emotional floodgates..

I wouldnt say it was overly emotional. that is to say, no more than usual. I just started crying.

Im used to not orgasming, it frustrates me though.

Crying because you had a good time, and were happy tears maybe? Or maybe because of the current state in your relationship? I've never heard of someone crying just like that after sex though....
Hey there Lauren! :smile:

No big, chick! Excess tension build-up without a gradual release - it's why recognised sexperts like Anne Hooper and Betty Dodson encourage a 2 steps forward, 1 step back approach. If you build up too much tension, your body will take action to release it. Yup, all of it - in one go.

Laugh it off if you get it again and pay attention to lots of non-overtly-sexual, erogenous massaging and touching during foreplay. So not the drama, Loz - you'll be fine. :wink:

speaking of sex therapists, has anyone ever been to see one. I was thinking of it maybe when I go back to uni. There's a relate centre not far from me.
Do you have to pay to see sex therapists?

well, at relate, they just ask for a donation, because they're a charity, But the BBC website recommended them.
Don't be worried, Im male and about 2 -3 weeks ago. I was really stressed out and exam pressure was getting to me, after coming i started crying...

How incredibly odd...I have almost cried tears of joy when sex has been so good, however.

OMG!

And I thought I was weird. The exact same thing happened to me once with my current bf (also a girl). The sex was going so well and I just began to cry. Not because of pain or anything but I just... well... needed to cry. Don't know why.
I had to explain to my boyfriend that I wasn't unhappy but overwhelmed. I thought I had become so overwhelmed I had to cry. Heh. I'd find it really weird if a guy did that. Feel sorry for him lol.
'my current bf (also a girl)'

What I meant to say is that I'm a girl too like the first poster >_< ha!

Have you been to see them? Because I am a girl with the same problem as you - completely unable to orgasm. When I'm on my own I can get to the point where I'm just on the edge, but can't go any further (but only with a vibrator or in the shower) but I've never gotten that close with a guy. Sometimes I wonder whether I need to somehow experience the physical part alongside the emotional part (i.e. being with the guy) but I'm single at the moment so there's really no way of knowing. But I'm scared it will never happen! :frown:

To be honest, I've never heard of this phenomenon myself, but if the professional therapists say that it is a completely natural reflex that you need not worry about, then please don't find additional cause for concern! :smile:
