I am 9 weeks post op full TT. I feel about 90% back to my pre surgical self. I have been back to a full active sex life for 4 weeks now. My problem is I can't finish. Before surgery I was orgasmic 99% of the time. Now I'm not at all!! Is this a common problem? I feel like I can tighten my core muscles like before. I know my clit has moved north a bit. Any advice, suggestions. Hope this is just temporary. Feeling pretty frustrated and discouraged. Thank you.
