Cold start, about a minute. Riled up, under a minute. With or without toys. I like to drag it out when I can, but if I need it right now, I can pretty much give it to myself right now. Anywhere, anytime.
As for falling asleep… I can’t go to sleep unless I’ve orgasmed two or three times first, at least! With or without hubby’s help, I’ll get it or I won’t sleep. Even if I’m just going to take a nap. I have to be really sick with a stomach flu or something that keeps you down for me to sleep without pleasure first.
I’m multi-orgasmic no matter what way. Hubby can evoke some pretty deeply felt ones (sure, pun intended, why not ) and he can keep 'em coming (oh, heck, there’s another pun, whee).
I’m just very… er… sensitive to that sort of thing. Some exes who couldn’t keep up have suggested I have a problem and need counselling… however, even hubby can’t always keep up, though Og bless him, he does try - but it hurts no one, it doesn’t leave the house (well… er uh… maybe in special circumstances, but what I mean is that I’m not an exhibitionist), it’s monogamous, and hubby likes it. I like it! And I still get things done.
I once experimented, and I’ve been able to orgasm 46 times in one hour. Granted, they got weaker and weaker as time went on, but there they were. And an hour later, I called hubby in for a few more. You know, so I could sleep.
Hmmmm. I rarely go it alone–I prefer company. So, I suppose anywhere from 5-20 minutes would be accurate; like the others, there are tons of intervening variables. I have tried vibrators, and I think they are too much–it’s like I’m bombarded with too much sensory stimulus. I do orgasm frequently from dreams, though, strangely enough. But again, IMO, the biggest sex organ is the brain.
I too have said forget it, and went to sleep–how refreshing to hear that!
Strange that the one poster said the pregnancy “neutered” her–I found that true when I was pregnant with my daughter, but with both sons, I was rabid for sex (didn’t know the sex of the babies until birth) at least untl the start of the 3rd trimester-then all bets were off! I speculate that it was the extra testoterone circulating…
I wouldn’t know. It happens so rarely I haven’t been able to find a pattern
I masturbate pretty frequently, and have since I was pretty young, but I’ve never been able to orgasm easily.
There’s impatience, and then there’s trying to hammer a nail with a muffin, if you get my drift. I have never been able to orgasm by myself w/my own hand. I need power tools or it’s not happening. With so many of us ladies describing giving up on the task, it becomes clear that in many cases a hand is often not enough!
Okay, I am actually typing this at work. Time to clear the web cache and history…
