The effect of masturbation on orgasming

hi. i'll get straight to the point. i'm a 20 year old female virgin. i've been masturbating since i was about 13 i think and i do it fairly often. over the last few years i've been doing it more using running water eg from taps or a shower and now i can't orgasm unless I use water. i just can't do it with my fingers anymore, it seems like i've numbed the nerves down there. i came across a website on masturbation yesterday which said that the feeling a woman gets from using water cannot be replicated during intercourse, and that if you can only orgasm from using running water you probably won't be able to orgasm during sex. i'm really worried that I've done myself serious damage from the years of using water. ive decided to give myself a month of no masturbation at all and try to use my fingers after that time to see if this increases the sensitivity and allows me to orgasm normally. do any of you have any idea if this will work? is there a chance that i might never be able to orgasm during sex because of this?

You probably will be able to, I think it's more to do with conditioning that desensitization.

But certainly, stop using the water, and don't touch yourself at all for at least 2 weeks.

Then give it a go without water.

do you use specifically hot water? I can't see how cold or tepid water would numb your nerves :/

My advice would be to stop using the water for as long as possible and try out a vibrator to see if you can orgasm with that, if you haven't tried it before that is.

It's true, give yourself a break, you'll probably miss yourself.

it's more to do with the pressure of the water than the temperature. i don't think a bloke would be able to stimulate a woman with the same intensity. i haven't tried a vibrator i'm too embarrassed to buy one lol.

I thought vibrators could actually numb your nerves down there even more?

crikey, some of the settings on these showers nowdays can be really powerful…

erm, I'm sure you can buy vibrators and dildos online if you're too embarassed to go to a sex shop. If you can't orgasm with that, maybe consider seeing a doctor?

go to the sex shop with your head on one of those stocking or tights robbers use so they arent recognized.

ask politely for the vibrator or dildo though

yes there probably is a chance that you wont be able to orgasm during sex. im no expert, but id say go cold turkey for a while.

Easy solution - stop masturbating. After a while your nerves will come back and ull orgasm with fingers

just give yourself a months break, and after that just stop using water completley.

oh i forgot to say good luck!

have a break for a while then use a vibrator. rabbit ones are nice.

Who else loves it when women talk about frapping?

Yeah they can with heavy usage.

Go cold turkey and then fingers for now!
