emotional breakdown?

[Cordae]

ok, here's something I found weird.... last night, my SO and I were doing some fooling around while watching a porn movie. He brought me so close to the edge of an orgasm with his fingers and then stopped for a good 10 minutes. He started back up again using his fingers, tongue, a small vibrator, but it was just taking FOREVER... I wasn't keeping track of the time but I'd say somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. It felt like I kept getting closer and closer but then it would fade back down.

Here's the weird part.... In the middle of this ebb and flow I started to cry!! It shocked the hell out of both of us when tears started pouring down my face!! Finally, I came, and just lay there sobbing.

Why the heck did I cry??? Where did it come from?? I was thinking it could have just been the frustration of being so close but unable to actually cum. Either way, I found it strange. Can someone shed some light on this? Or at least tell me its happened to them and I'm not a crazy person for crying during sex??

I had something similar happen to me on two occasions, and it shocked the hell out of me. My husband just held me until I stopped crying. I was pregnant at the time, so I blamed it on those blasted pregnancy hormones!

I know that doesn't shed light on anything. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone!

I often cry when I have a good, hard orgasm, or just an intensely pleasurable session. But I cry at the extreme of any emotion (too happy, sad, frustrated, etc.) so it's never shocked me. It was awkward to explain to past partners. Now DH sometimes uses it as a tool; if I cry, he knows he's been exceptionally successful.

I've felt at times that I probably COULD cry when sex has been exceptionally good, but none of that came close to what went on last night. I'm an extremely emotional person, I cry at tv commercials, but I was just so thrown by yesterday. It wasn't extremely good, in fact, it was only so-so. (Often when its a build up and then stop, build up and stop type of night, it makes my orgasm fizzle instead of multipy)

I am glad to hear that its not just me though...

I usually hold off the tears until I hit the shower. It just feels so nice to have that attention that I can't help but cry.

Perhaps you cried out of frustration. Or maybe it was something in the back of your mind that had nothing at all to do with the 'magical fingers'.

Sometimes, your subconcious gets the better of you!

It can be very frustrating when we're not able to cum or take so long to do so. I've gotten very upset thinking my partner is getting tired, trying to get me off because how long it can take me at times. I didn't cry out loud though.

I have cried during making love because how incredible I felt, and my feelings towards my partner were so intense- so in love. Also, hormone changes- period time could do this.

It could've been a mix of things. Don't be too hard on yourself. You feel, have emotions, are able to cry- you're real, human, and sound like you have a wonderful heart

It's happened to me too, for a lot of different reasons. I tear up on a regular basis when something's extremely pleasureable (like almost too much), and have from frustration in the past. I've always just accepted the tears or crying fit as a normal expression of emotion.

I've never had an orgasm with anyone, but having recently been coming close with my current. I have trust issues, and letting go is not easy for me. When I get really close I start to panic and try to hold through it but so far have not been able to; I have to make him stop. At that point I am always struggling not to cry. I'm not sure if its the panic, or the ecstacy, or the combination, or what, but its not a bad thing. I get kinda shaken up, but it doesn't feel bad.

I'm not really sure if I make him stop because I can't let go or because I don't want to cry. Whichever it is, he is very patiently working through it with me (although he doesn't know this part yet).
