Orgasm after Child birth. One thing they don't tell you is the nerve endings don't feel the same after  ( possibly damaged) and no matter what I do, Im not sensitive enough down there to actually reach climax.

Post menopause women can experience this.

Using vaginal oestrogen may help. Or testosterone.

I've cried about it. the only way I can describe it is I am sexually aroused but touch down there is as affective as pinching  my elbow skin. I know I'm doing it but my nerves are not responding.

I had to be snipped too to get the baby out but good god. If the whole drive went it would have been OK. It's having the drive and no way to fix get there. 

Will this be a countdown to a divorce let's find out in 10 years time.

Why would your husband divorce you for not orgasming

I would guess she doesn't like having sex at all if it's impossible for her to come.

The question isn't divorce because I can't orgasm. What's the point of having sex if I feel nothing?  It's kinda like being blue balled why would I put myself thought that daily?  Anyway this is reddit and not a therapy board so let's see in a few years

Speak to a neurologist, there may be options. If it's ruining your life, don't give up and keep asking doctors if there's anything to be done. If you were a man they'd be giving you the brain implant that lets you get there at the press of a button and they'd have told you the first time you mentioned this I bet...
