Why is it hard to get a full orgasium with my husband any more? We have been married for 26 yrs.

Sabrina is right, you either have an orgasm or you don't. If you have not been able to orgasm there could be many reasons and seeing a doctor/gynecologist would be a good idea to get your hormones checked out. Diet, stress and age all can have negative effectives for you and/or your husband, none of which are irreversible.

That said you may be referring more to the quality of your love making than to a climax or happy ending. If this is the case then there are other options. Consider some Tantra coaching. You and your husband might find it fun and stimulating to make intimate connections that don't require a "climax" for you or ejaculation for him to be orgasmic. This level of quality intimacy can light a new fire under both of you...one that is not easily extinguished.

There is no 'full' orgasm. You either have one, or you don't. I'm assuming that what you're trying to explain is getting close to achieving orgasm but never quite making the mark. As we age, our body changes, things will not always work how they did 5, 10, 20+ years ago. Such is life. If it is phsically frustrating to such a degree that your marriage is being highly affected, you should make an appointment to see your doctor/gynecologist and share with them your concerns. Like the saying goes, "Use it, or lose it." So, if you don't take action as soon as possible, you'll only end up deeper into despair over your lost 'O'. Good luck! :
