Is it normal to get bored during sex?

I'm female, and every time I have sex, I get bored about half way through. It just gets repetitive and stops interesting me. I don't orgasm through penetration but the sensation is still enjoyable to me, but if a guy goes on too long I just get fed up and lose interest. Also the pleasurable sensation seems to disperse after about...ooh I dunno, 7 or 8 minutes? And it just starts chafing and being annoying. I hate it if a guy goes on too long for this reason. IIN? Anyone experience the same thing, or have any suggestions? Switching positions doesn't help, and I do use lube.

    Since no one else wants to give a full answer:

    If you're bored then you're boring. Don't think that just because you're receiving you're not expected to take an active part in the experience. I've slept with girls who would "starfish" - they'd lie down spread eagle and just not move. It's like fucking a dead person. If that's what you're doing, please stop. Sex is for multiple people, and you're free to take charge yourself if you're so inclined - if they're not doing it right, show them what to do!

    That brings me to my second point - communication. Communicate to them through variance in breathing, moaning, or movement whether something is right or wrong and if they can't follow that, then first off, they're being a bad lover, but instead try to communicate with words - "this isn't working for me, how about this?" or "that feels amazing". Et cetera. Might feel awkward but it's helpful for both parties.

    If all that doesn't seem to help (or you're in a relationship and you don't think it's his fault), I'm not sure what else to tell you other than keep experimenting. Does oral work better for you? Mutual masturbation? Toys? Anal, even? Keep trying to find what does the trick for you.

    • Yeah I know what you're saying but I'm not one of those girls. During a sex session I'd normally try missionary, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, doggy, spoons, and whatever that position where its like missionary but you wrap your legs over the guys shoulders is called. I just get kind of bored with the act itself...I dunno. It's hard to explain. I'm not neccsarily blaming the guys but I don't really know what to do. The only thing that really works for me is toys, and theyre difficult to use during sex...I think maybe the problem is that I'm too focused on the guys gratification, and not on my own.

    Maybe some clit stimulation during penetration either by you or your partner?

    ".I think maybe the problem is that I'm too focused on the guys gratification, and not on my own."

    I'm a guy who is gay but doesn't really identify with the gay community and have the same issue as the chick above (yes, guys can have sexual dysfunction too).

    I'm in a helping / healthcare profession and am overly focused on other people's needs all the time that it crosses over into sex. One guy, one I used to have great sex with over 6 years when he visited my town, said recently, "It's like you're auditioning." Yes, I feel like I'm "on" and have to perform, which gives me anxiety, which makes me not perform.

    I get bored during sex too--not sure what turns me on anymore and/or too used to not getting what I want during sex that I stopped asking and/or too used to knowing what I want takes more than what they can give if it is a hookup. So I don't ask. I also don't want to seem too un-masculine and/or needy, which I am extremely high maintenance and needy. So I guess I hate that part of myself, and I hate it when I see other gay men who are like that (the fem/queen flamboyant types). It's like they're pretentious and the world revolves around them (and I'm kinda jealous).

    Not sure if you have this problem too, but I hate receiving oral sex and I have a giant dick and am also seen as a top (insertive partner) even though I'm probably naturally more bottom (receptive). Any time I get oral sex it pinches, is overly sensitive, and hurts. It is un-arousing. It doesn't matter who does it. People then attempt to just keep sucking harder (which hurts more) on my flaccid dick until I disassociate and feel somewhat disgusted. It's an irritated feeling like: "um, can't you fucking tell it isn't working and you need to come up here (gesturing circling my face and brain) and not just keep slobber stinking up my dick?" But that would require me like them too. Sometimes I just don't like the guy after I meet him but am still attracted to his body.

    So what I think (and my therapist is trying to get me to do) is establish some sort of emotional relationship with a guy before having sex, but I really am independent and don't want to waste my time because dating has never worked out for me in the past. I find it a waste of time since I don't see myself having a traditional family/house crap and don't seem to want companionship all the time either. Thinking about my dating life makes me sad.

    Hopefully this helps other people too. I'd say this is my sexual dysfunction in a nutshell.

    Selfish:
    If he takes to long its one of two reasons.
    1 you're so loose he feels nothing.
    2 your'e so tight, it feels so great he wants it to last.
    Either way, you can make a guy cum if you know what the hell you're doing.
    From the sounds of it though, you are fridgid. So retire your pussy and let normal girls fuck the guys for as long as the guys can last.
    Let me guess, you're white?

    • What a weird racially charged comment! I query your theory that sexual pleasure is all down to the "looseness" or "tightness" of a vagina. Did you know that your vagina actually expands to up to four times its natural size when aroused? Did you know that the vagina is a muscle, and therefore can't be loosened by promiscuity, contrary to popular belief? Either way, I don't think the problem is the size of my pussy, I do 100 pelvic floor exercises a day so I'm pretty good at gripping dick. Anyway, the problem isn't "making a guy cum", they don't have any problem with that, I'm saying I get bored about seven or eight minutes in. So unless they have a premature ejaculation problem, I have a boredom problem. And I don't think it is frigidity because my sex drive is very high. Any other suggestions?

    I think maybe they are taking so long becuase they think you want them too . Men orgasm faster than women and men have to practice to prolonge it why do you not ask him to hurry up its not your fualt he takes so long . If you tell him to hurry you should tell him that .

    If anything gets too much, it would bore. Take a break and then try again.

    Find a guy who knows how to use his cock properly, or has a horse cock.
