Sex with my ex is great, but I can't climax

DEAR DEIDRE: I AM having sex with my former boyfriend, but I can’t reach orgasm.

This has never happened to me before, with him or with any other partner, and it’s worrying me.

I am a 32-year-old woman and was with my boyfriend, 38, for five years until we split up two years ago.

My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

He then met someone else and moved in with her. We kept in touch because we have a son together.

A few months ago he came round to see our son and I suggested we have a drink.

He ended up staying for dinner and then we fell into bed together. I know it was wrong, but I couldn’t help myself.

The sex was great, just like old times, but I couldn’t climax.

The next time he came over, we had sex again – no strings, like the first time – and the same thing happened.

And it keeps happening.

I still fancy him as much as ever and everything seems to work physically, so what’s wrong with me?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s likely your guilt is stopping you from reaching orgasm.

You say you know this is wrong – he has a partner and your son is around – so you are probably not relaxed, or you are holding back.

The brain is our biggest sexual organ, so even if a woman’s body is responding, her mind can stop her enjoying sex.

Perhaps it’s a sign that it’s best to stop the illicit encounters before his partner finds out, or you and your son get hurt.
