How to Take the Pressure Off Orgasm During Sex | The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Episode 6

Orgasm pressure can come from inside us or between partners. Internally, it may sound like: “Why am I not orgasming?” “I’m taking too long.” or “Something must be wrong with me.” From a partner, it may look like repeated questions, trying harder and faster, showing disappointment, needing orgasm as proof of sexual success, or continuing after the other person wants to stop.In Episode 6 of The Orgasm Hour Q&A, Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill explores how orgasm pressure can shift attention away from pleasure and turn orgasm into a performance requirement. We’ll discuss: • How self-pressure, failure thoughts, and monitoring can interfere with arousal and orgasm • How a partner’s expectations can create pressure—even when they intend to be helpful • The difference between caring about a partner’s pleasure and requiring an orgasm • Research-informed ways to reduce pressure and return attention to sensation, connection, and pleasure Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes of The Orgasm Hour. #FemaleOrgasm #OrgasmPressure #PartneredSex #SexualCommunication #SexualWellbeing #OrgasmicLearning #WomensSexualHealth #TheOrgasmHour
