Hard to orgasm?

I have a question. I have PCOS and it is very hard for me to orgasm. My boyfriend thinks it's him and he thinks he can't satisfy me, which isn't true. It feels good and all but I just can't seem to get up there. Can anyone help?

Yes.  I mean, the above comments all sound true but they don't really answer the question.  The answer is yes, a hormonal imbalance makes naturally sexuality more challenging.  I wish I knew this in my 20s!  I always thought it was psychological but it's not.  As you age and the imbalance changes, your issue will change, sometimes for the better.  In the meanwhile, try zinc (nuts, watermelon) and following online advice for reducing estrogen dominance (usually men's body building sites are best; they do talk about their girlfriend's sexuality too even).  I don't know much about progesterone creams but they sound good.  If you can get warmed up for a long time, like wear pants that rub on your crotch, or wear sensual feeling hose or bras that rub in a shirt... If you do that while going about your normal business was for a few hours prior, it will help.  Sounds like you have a keeper bf, though, who cares a lot about you!  If you're not an addict, a drink can help or look at porn before you see him.  Anything to relax, maybe keep a chocolate in bed with you too because long sessions can be hard on the back, arms and hunger pangs.

I don't know a lot about PCOS but surely if one of the factors that causes PCOS is increased androgens (i.e. testosterone) then surely some sufferers might find it easier to orgasm as increased testosterone might increase their sex drive? This may be too  simplistic a hypothesis though as wanting sex more doesn't necessarily result in achieving orgasm more.

Having PCOS has nothing to do with the fact of not being able to orgasm. Most women cannot orgasm with sex alone, I've only had a handful of orgasms during sex in my life, and I've been active for 10 years now. Most need clitourus stimulation to acheive an orgasm.

Some women find it hard to orgasm whether they have pcos or not, and it also depends on the type of stimulation you recieve aswell. Lots of women cannot orgasm with penetration alone, and some need manual aswell. Me, a transmale, had never had an orgasm during intercourse til I was 27, and that was when I found exactly where my g-spot was after I had watched a tv series Sex tips for girls, which also helped along with clit stimulation. Some women find it difficult to find where there g-spot is and assume they dont have one. It is also best to concentrate on the pleasure of what you are doing, rather that just trying too hard to orgasm. I don't always orgasm during sex or when Im with my partner, but it does not mean that I didnt get any pleasure from it.
