The big "O"

Tesia
I'm turning 21 in December and I've never had and orgasm. My boyfriend is really trying and I'm tired of making him feel like he's failing me. I'm trying to communicate as best I can but surprisingly shy in bed. I just wish he could read my mind. My mother told me she didn't have an orgasm until her late 20s. Should I give up on trying until then or are there any tips that can help me get there?
