Having an orgasm should not seem like a complicated math problem, but to a lot of women, it can seem like a real struggle. Sure you want to enjoy orgasm to the fullest, but you can't do that until you are in the know-how of how to climax and what is preventing you from getting there. When compared to men, orgasming for women is a whole different ball game. Every woman is built differently, and figuring out what works and what doesn't can be a complicated business. We give you a low-down on all the possible reasons why you are not getting to the big O.

You Are On Some Medication

According to experts, certain medications like SSRIS used to treat depression and certain other conditions can diminish the sex hormones in the body and prevent orgasm. So if you had really good sex and you are nowhere close to the big O, you can blame your medications. Talk to your doctor for the possible side effects so that he can recommend an alternative drug.

You Are Not Doing Enough Foreplay

If you are not having enough foreplay, you are never going to get turned on enough to get an orgasm. So ask your man to go slow and indulge in a lot of cuddling, kissing, fondling and licking before you get to the real act. Multiple Orgasms in Women: What Happens to Your Vagina and the Rest of Your Body While You Orgasm?

You Only Have Penetrative Sex

Most men think that they are perfect in sex, but in reality, they have no idea what they are doing.  A very few women can get an orgasm with penetrative sex. So if there is no fingering or oral, you can find it hard to experience the real deal.

You Have No Idea What Works For You

You need to explore and discover what works for you. The vagina has a lot of parts, and as you grow up, you need to learn and understand how all of it works. If you do not know what feels right to you, try stimulating your clitoris or inside your vagina and figure out what you like. Do Men Have Multiple Orgasms?
