Why I Can Only Orgasm Alone (But Not With Partners)

Listen Now

Dr. Emily answers the questions keeping you up at night: Can bodies be trained to orgasm only one way? When does a kink cross from preference to problem? Is interactive masturbation cheating?

Someone orgasms easily alone but never with partners in her open marriage—the neural pathway explanation might surprise you. A husband discovered a humiliation kink after 20 years and his wife doesn’t understand why degradation equals arousal—learn what core erotic desires reveal about childhood and why shame keeps most people silent.

A woman caught her boyfriend on interactive sex sites after they’d set boundaries—discover when getting curious works better than getting angry, and whether online encounters count as infidelity. Someone raised in sexual repression feels guilty choosing masturbation over partner sex—hear why solo pleasure threatens no one and why that guilt isn’t really yours.

Then there’s the couple having sex twice daily but she rarely orgasms—find out why more isn’t better and how to ask for what you need without killing desire.

The episode tackles when preference becomes selfishness, why communication about kinks matters more than understanding them, and how bodies get wired to expect certain pleasure patterns. If you’ve been wondering whether your desires are normal or your boundaries are valid, this gives you permission to stop wondering.
