It’s really normal for a lot of women to find it difficult to orgasm from penetration alone. I think society’s obsession with penetration as the “end all” of sex can make us feel like we’re doing something wrong if it doesn’t lead to orgasm for both partners. But trust me, you're not alone in this. A girlfriend of mine had the same issue—she could only reach orgasm from clitoral stimulation, and after that, penetration would feel too sensitive and even painful for her.
What helped us the most was talking openly about our needs during sex. We realized that it didn’t have to be about “finishing” a certain way. Instead, we learned to take our time and not pressure each other. When she came, we’d pause and let her relax a little before continuing or switch up the focus, like switching positions or adding in a little more manual stimulation.
You might also find that focusing on the intimacy itself and making her feel comfortable helps her body stay relaxed, even after orgasm. And if you haven’t yet, try to learn more about her specific triggers—what she likes and what might make her feel more at ease during sex.
Don’t get discouraged. Sex is a learning process, and being patient with each other can help build trust and improve your experiences.
