 No, this is not an offer for a porn site.

If this subject matter is offensive to anyone, please skip this e-mail. I
realize this is a delicate subject and will try to be as tasteful as
possible. However, this is the only site I know to really talk to other women
in similar circumstances.

However, there are questions I would like to ask about CP & the ability to
reach "sexual fulfillment"  in women. I haven't really found a doctor to
address these questions adequately.

I realize there are many aspects of this subject are still a mystery
concerning women in general, so CP is not the only issue here, but CP can
make it more complicated. If other women wish to email me privately to
discuss this please do so. Or if you know of books or articles that have been
helpful, I'd love to here about them.

So here it goes. I know there is some debate about how exactly women reach
orgasm, especially on the issues of "intercourse" alone. Although I can reach
orgasm very well through other methods, this particular way has not been
stimulating enough. This did change somewhat after I've had my children, so
it may be possible with the right partner, but now I'm single.

I have mild CP in my legs (spastic diplegia) which somewhat limits my range
of motion & the positions I can use. I am wondering if this is a factor in my
level of stimulation from intercourse & what might remedy this.

I personally don't care how it happens, but this has been an issue for my
partners in the past. I am a little disappointed by the possibility could
limit my sexual response as it is one area that in many other ways helps me
feel very "normal." (There's no gravity to fight in bed---ha!) But I can't
really know why this has been the case without exploring other women's
experiences with their bodies.

Its also a little bit of a confidence issue as I explore the possibility of
relationships in the future. Thanks
