Hi guys,
Not sure if this post would be more appropriate in the Sex/Relationships section, but since it is methadone, and therefore recovery, specific, I settled here.
I am a 23 year old female and have been on methadone maintenance for almost 3 years. Prior to beginning methadone treatment, I experimented with a variety of painkillers in my early teens before falling in love with heroin and starting a long affair with dope and the needle. Although I have been on methadone maintenance for almost 3 years, it is just recently that my use has been seriously declining as I found the right dose for me. As my heroin use fell, my libido, which had laid dormant through much of the sex I had been having through my heavy use, came back with a vengeance.
I had always been extremely sexual, eager to play and explore with both sexes, and now that my libido matches my mindset again, I feel almost out of control; it seems like everything turns me on these days, and that I am always horny. There's only one problem.... Reaching orgasm now seems ridiculously difficult and tedious, and while I can achieve orgasm, it is not without my poor clitoris taking quite a bit of abuse first. Before methadone and heavy opiate use, I could make myself come in less than 45 seconds with the right touch, and while toys ease the process, it sometimes seems impossible to get myself off, let alone have whoever I happen to be playing with manage to do so.
I do want to add that once I DO come, the orgasms come fast, easy, and hard, but not until that initial and impossibly elusive first one.
This is quite a bit of info and possibly too much, but I was curious if any other girls (and the boys, too!) have experienced the same problem while on methadone maintenance. I'm not much interested in how being extremely high on dope or painkillers affects orgasm, because most of us already know. The problem with methadone, however, is the extremely long half-life and threat of withdrawal that prevents most from getting a "break", so to speak.
My current dose is a split 180 (90mg/twice a day, afternoon and late night).
Any thoughts, comments, tips, advice, and techniques are much appreciated!
