How old is she, Gris? I suspect she's close to your age, meaning pretty young, yes?
If you ever listen to Lovelines, with Dr. Drew Pinsky (who is actually an MD, unlike most radio "doctors", and specializes in sex-related issues), he frequently states that many women just aren't phyically ready to have sex to the point of orgasm until they are much older. Remember that women hit their sexul peak in their thirties.
There's a good chance that it's not psychiatric in nature, but physical, Gris. Which is maybe not what you wanted to hear, but it's likely the case -- she's just physically not very capable of enjoying sex, or reaching orgasm yet.

They SO do.
t /loving my 30s, oh yes, I am
Also taking medication often adds to difficulty/inability to orgasm.
And finally, I think that most women don't orgasm just from vaginal intercourse -- they need clitoral stimulation, too.
You're a GOOD boyfriend, BTW.
For those keeping track at home...
Library fines are taken care of. $1125 went down to $61.25 when I begged, which was mostly covered by work (because they're very nice).
I'm feeling accomplished.
GO VW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is ALSO something that Dr. Drew says quite regularly.

And, speaking for my people, we appreciate the hell out of it.

I was about to say the very opposite, but as I'm a young twenty-something woman, I assume all twenty-something women are like me.
Does she masturbate at all, Gris? Because that might help take some of the pressure off her feeling like she owes you something (but not in a bad way!) - If she can take time figuring out what she likes. The history of mood disorders and drugs would also lead me to think that problem is psychological. But that's just my $00.02.

This I more than know. Actually,
GG and I have not had intercourse, and will almost certainly not be doing so anytime soon. I have built my sexual experiences on clitoral stimulation.
She's 24, so, yes, pretty young. I know that she's not at her sexual peak by any means, but the extreme suddenness with which she can lose interest seems a bit beyond the norm, to me.
Dr. Betty is fun to read, though the incredible amount of book-pimping is getting a bit annoying, and I haven't really read anything yet beyond the standard advice most decent sex books (of which I've read several - I'm a big researcher) would give. Maybe I'll drop by a B&N and skim her books.
ETA: No, Jars, she doesn't. I'm trying to convince her to try, sometimes. It's an uphill battle, though. Why so many women feel odd about it has always been a mystery to me.
This I more than know.
Then you ARE a good boyfriend! Seriously.
