Well, here's a quandary ...
If your not able to explain and teach your husband ... if our wives can't explain and teach us ... how are we to know and learn?
In my relationship with my wife I can be really dumb. I'm male … I have a "dumb" gene. (is that an excuse?)
As our dear wives, and sweethearts don't make us guess about the things that are really important to you.
As husband and wives, as lovers ... talk and teach each other. Take the time and effort. There has to be a time and place that that special intimacy can come about ... that we can learn to draw closer as husbands and wives.
I'm sorry if all that sounds as if I am preaching, but I have learned that there is not one thing that is more important then the relationship I have with the one I love.

If it means anything to you at all.. I understand and hear where you are comming from.. Before I met my husband, it was very rare that I would actually be able to completly enjoy.. it was good but not... Climactic.. Since meeting him, I have found one posistion and only one that is enough and sometimes if there is too much running through my mind it's sometimes can't do it either.
If you are uncomfortable going to a therapist, and not sure how to bring it up, try some fun things, make it a game.. Pick up the *1001 nights of great sex* book, or pick up an adult game.. Ways to try different things that may or may not enhance your pleasure..
Also, while I haven't gone to a therapist myself, I have seen alot of shows dealing with this sort of thing where people go and they allow it to be taped and one of the first things they usually do is get the female (or male) depending on the situation to.. how do I put this... Enjoy themselves.. because really, if you can't make yourself happy and now how it all works then how are you suppose to explain to your partner how to make you happy and go over that edge...
I don't know.. I probably have quite the open view when it comes to this sort of thing, I haven't done it all yet but I'm damn well willing to give it a shot... haha

You are such a sweet & caring husband. And you & your wife seem so open & honest! I think if all couples could communicate the way the two of you do (I'm sure sex is not the only thing you are good at communicating about), the divorce rate wouldn't be nearly as high as it is.

I've always been intensely cerebral, tragically(!), and lubes, sensual oils, mechanical toys all seem stupid until you get an "O" from one (or a combination of them). My first O was after "back-door" play. I had no idea it was coming...! I have since had them in my sleep also, usually the day after "vanilla" intercourse, or the day after I've real a tantalizing chapter in an, uh, adult-themed book ("bodice rippers" are great!). 
Rarely have I ever had an O from a lover or BF. For me, it is intensely psychological and happens that night in my dreams, after I've gone to sleep. The good news is that the more it happens, the more it will happen. Those O dreams ROCK. (!!!) 
Good luck in your research, and remember it's all in the journey, grasshopper.

Thank you, but the real point of this is that all husbands and boy friends are teachable and trainable ... we all need talk and really listen to each other.
Just tell your husbands what you really need and like, and you will be surprised at how much effort they put into the task.

Double J, You have to know you're special, don't you? I mean, you must have friends that you hear talk and that don't have the same attitude you do. It's great that you do. I know you say you're a lucky man and I'm sure you are but your wife is a lucky lady also.
I have a great husband...this time around. He's sweet, loving, attentive...and clumsy. I don't know how to teach him because often I don't know what I need. Things I've tried to tell him...he just doesn't seem to get. Maybe harder at his angle?
The worst part though...is my poor body image. I know it's irrational and completely ridiculous. I know in my head, that I have a decent body. I'm not overweight...other than the 10-15 lbs of extra baby weight that still needs to go. Regardless, even at my most fit, I felt timid when naked. I wish I had a magic wand to make that go away. I know DH loves me and loves my body but I don't love my body. How do you just get over yourself? I know it's a big part of the equation. I have friends that are almost twice my weight that could walk around their houses stark naked and not care. And why should they? How come I can't do that? I'm so envious of them.

I'm special that I have a wife that continues to put up with me. Again she says "Amen"!

It has been my experience that men (in general) are all ears when it comes to learning about how they can be "more of a man".
My hubby used to be very shy about goings-on in the boudoir but I told him that whatever he wanted to tell me was okay and I wouldn't judge him for anything he said. As time went by I encouraged him to share more with me and be more open about sex and intimacy and before you know there isn't anything we can't tell each other. He was raised in a very conservative home (ya know, the kind where the children, even as adults, think there parents number of sexual encounters equals the number of children in the home). They just simply didn't speak about these things. When I started asking him what he wanted and listening to him and trying out new fun things he wanted to do it was much easier for him to be open to constructive criticism and learn how to do things I wanted to do. And hats off to my hubby - he's a VERY good student. LOL. And don't feel like you can't bring some fun toys and products in the room with you. Don't forget we're all mammals, and you've seen what mammals do on the Discovery channel. Animals do that thing they do and it's okay.
Ladies, remember that you are beautiful and deserve that "O" just as much as the next gal. Don't over-think it. Sex is one of the most natural things in the world. Just have fun. You're man (and he is yours) will feel like much more of a man if he knows he's pleasing you.
And if all else fails, JUST SHOW HIM. You can put him where you want him and he'll follow you're lead because - hey - he's gettin' some.

I have nerve pain in the pelvic region. So intimacy comes with a nasty companion... PAIN - don't know what it feels like to get stabbed by a knife but something like that... Luckily I have my own magical tricks...
Good luck!
