Editor's Note
One of my friends confessed to me that she has never had an orgasm. She's been in a monogamous relationship for about two and a
half years but has been in sexual relationships for the last six years. I asked her what I thought was the obvious question: Do you mean you've never had one, or you've never had one with a partner?
Ask any woman and she either has a friend like this, or she says she has a friend like this when actually relating all the circumstances about herself. I was reading a column by the celebrity sex therapist Laura Berman about a woman in her 50s who came to her office lamenting the same situation. And she's one that asked for help. I think it's so sad that so many women are faking orgasms and/or never asking for help years into a relationship because they're either so ashamed that they can't do something that seems so natural to everyone else, or they feel that sex is something they just do to make they're partner happy. They'll just go through life orgasmless, never talking to their significant other. I'm not innocent of this either. My first sexual partner was in high school and we dated a year and a half with me faking the whole time — and let me tell you, I deserved an Oscar. Then when I actually experienced the real deal, I realized the connection (with my body as well as with my partner) that I'd been denying myself just because I was embarrassed to ask for what I needed.
The lack of information that college students, arguably the most sexed-up genre, is astounding. Ashley Doyle answers some sex myths we have on page eight. I'm going to ask my friend to pay special attention to the question about G-spots.
