Don't feel bad about it, Babs. It is waaaay easier to have an orgasm solo than with a partner. That's why the sex therapists set women to work alone to have an orgasm before working together on it. You don't have anyone else to think about. You can concentrate on the sensations completely. And who knows better than you what feels good?
As long as you get more emotional satisfaction from sex with your partner, you're fine. And feel free to use those toys during intercourse. You can get the best of both worlds.
All told though, I think it's great you could have an orgasm at all on SSRI's. I went four years without one on Luvox (solo or with partner). And I really didn't even care. They really should work on that particular side effect. So you should see this as a promising sign for your relationship.
