Saran wrap will do if you don't have a purpose made dental dam. And you should use it unless you're OK getting oral herpes or know your partner is clean, just like any other protection.

Plastic wrap is actually pretty controversial, when it comes to whether or not it will block transmission of STDs: This is pretty thorough.

A time traveling adventure everyone can enjoy

Alright, I had trouble deciding whether this should go in this thread or E/N, but I decided to go with here, since it's an entirely sexual problem:

I'm a penishaver, and my partner is one of those types of people with a vagina. When we're having PIV sex, though, she always rubs her clitoris while we're doing it. I heard from a friend of mine that this was common among girls he had been with, but I've had extended sexual relationships with a number of other women, and none of them did this. It makes me feel entirely removed from the proceedings at hand; essentially, it doesn't matter what I'm doing down there, because she'll just masturbate no matter what, which in turn makes me feel entirely surplus to requirements.

I made a helpful chart here:




(Yes, sex shouldn't be entirely orgasm-based and all, but it's a good measure of if you find something sexy, and she reports that sex without the touching is unsatisfactory)

As you can see, the DICK column appears to have no correlation with the ORGASMS results. For her part, she claims that she enjoys PIV, but she enjoys a lot of other things, too. I enjoy all kinds of things that don't give me sexual pleasure, and I'm lost as to how to feel about this. Any protips to get my head on straight?

It is not some effort where labor is measured and should be equal. You do things still together, it is not masturbation per se. You are present in the situation and not some statist. It sounds like you are just not confident in your status.

Most women can't come without clitoral stimulation. That's just how it is.

What you can do, however, is use your own fingers on her during PIV sex, if you really want to be the one to cause the orgasms. Girl-on-top works well for this.

Lots of women 100% require clitoral stimulation to orgasm. This is perfectly normal, even if you haven't run into it yourself in the past. I know for me, while penetration is perfectly pleasant, I need a bit more oomph on the clit to get anywhere.

If you want to involve yourself more, you could try working her clitoris yourself, either with your fingers or a vibe.

Well... it's not that, it's that I want to feel like I'm part of the sex. You know, working together as a team. But she's pretty orgasm-centric, and I know she's going to handle things on that front whether I'm involved or not.

You are. Clit+penetration feels way different from clit alone, and even if she needs the clit to come, it is a wildly different experience without.

You can eat a sandwich that's just peanut butter. But if it's a peanut butter and jam sandwich, you don't say the jam is no part of the sandwich.

Please break up so she doesn't spend any more time with someone who makes her feel lovely about something innocuous she can't control.

The vast majority of women can't come from PIV alone. I totally believe you've had extremely extensive experience, but all those women were either incredibly lucky or just faking it.

If masturbation is just as good for her, why do you think she bothers having sex with you instead of just jerking off alone?

I don't think a post that says "You make your girlfriend feel terrible and your previous lovers were just faking" is especially helpful, and I can't really think of a good reason to make it.

I let some Finnish slip by where a "statist" is the same as a "movie extra".
What I meant that you seem to be somehow calculating the input of each of the participants and then arriving to the conclusion that she somehow works more and you don't, thus you are unnecessary and she is having sex with herself.

But that is not the case. That is not how it "is counted" or anything. You are both present in the situation and the way the acts are divided matters far less compared to how you feel. Like I said, I feel like you are not confident in your status and you think that she'd be just as good without you. But that is like thinking that having a FFM-threesome means that the dude is just an extra and could be skipped because "the women are doing woman stuff anyway".

If you want to help out with it more (sounds like she's got it covered, but hey~) definitely try something like a cowgirl position, and use your free hands for it. You can also looking into getting a bullet vibe of some sort and use that on her too, and that should also be fun.

I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to call out the part where you felt like you weren't doing much since she brings herself to orgasm. Imagine the difference between jerking off, and jerking off while she does stuff. It's a very different, more intense experience where you were still the one to bring yourself to orgasm, and I bet you would never say she gave you no or little "sexual pleasure". It does make you any less of a partner in it, and you should count yourself lucky to have a woman confident enough to look after her own satisfaction and not fake it.

Don't tell anybody but most of the time, when a woman does climax from PIV without any additional finger action, its because something about your/her movements is stimulating her clit at the same time. Keep that one under your hat.

Dunno if this would help in any psychological way with not being able to make it happen with penis and penetration alone, but you can always go out and get a cock ring with a little bullet vibrator attached. I had a gf who really enjoyed that since vaginal sex alone didn't do it for her, and having the clit stimulation tied directly to the penetrative sex got her off much better than the sexy time equivalent of rubbing your head and patting your stomach.

Also as previously mentioned, try different positions that lean the pelvis. But above all I would hope that being honest about it, and expressing a willingness to experiment would go a long way towards not making her feel self conscious, and help you enjoy the experience instead of worrying that you alone aren't hitting the right spots.

If you do, don't sweat it too hard if it doesn't do the job-- those are pretty anatomy-dependent, like anything that purports both penetration and clit stimulation at once. If it works for both of you, great, if it doesn't, chances are that particular one doesn't fit one or the both of you.

A more direct analogy would be like expecting a guy to orgasm without him or his partner ever actually touching his penis in any way, since the two body parts are analogous to each other.

The clitoris is significantly larger and has more sensitive area than we're taught, it's actually wishbone shaped and mostly under the surface of the skin.
Its more akin to just rubbing the shaft and not touching the head at all. It'll feel good and you'll get some people off, but most will need significantly more stimulation than that

Yeah either way I was trying to put it in terms that might make it clearer that (for a lot of women at least) the clitoris isn't really an "optional" part of sex when it comes to having orgasms.

Also just speaking as someone who does the same thing a lot of the time, although I could see why someone might think it's just like masturbation it's really a very different experience altogether having a partner around.
