DearRuthie,
Girl to girl: I’m having trouble with the big “O,” if youknow what I mean. I’ve always heard that women’s orgasms get stronger andbetter with age, but at the age of 41 mine seem to be diminishing in strength.Is this normal? I don’t think it’s the men in my life, but I’m also not about torule that out either. Any clue what might going on? Any exercises or techniquesthat I should be practicing?
Help a Girl Out,
Unsatisfied Sue
Dear Susie Q,
Everyone wants to bang out a good one (or seven) duringIndependence Day, honey. There’s no shame in that game! When your grand finalefeels more like a dud, however, it’s time to do some investigating. After all,if the engine’s not firing on all cylinders you’d have an expert check underthe hood, right? No…I’m not suggesting you screw a mechanic, although if theopportunity knocks, let your freak flag fly!
But seriously, go to the doctor, sugar. I’m far from anexpert, so see your doc and let him/her know that light has gone out of yoursparkler. I’m sure you’ll be back to your old self soon!
