There is nothing wrong with either one of you. What you are experiencing is the difference that each individual has for sexual arousal. I am actually surprised that your other girl friends actually enjoyed the act of intercourse because many women are not well stimulated by the penis being in the vagina. If a woman feels the sexual arousal in her clitoris which is on the outside at the front of the vulva then only certain positions in intercourse will actually feel very pleasurable to her. There are positions your bodies can get into where your hands are free to stimulate her clitoris (rear entry into vagina) and where the bodies rub together stimulating it as well. Many women actually have orgasm, not through intercourse, but through stimulation of the clitoris - so your present girlfriend is expressing what many women do. The reason that some women don't have as much enjoyment with the penis in the vagina is that the vagina doesn't have as many nerve endings. There is a small area called the G spot on the upper third of the vagina that can get stimulated by some positions (the woman sitting on top with man on his back is one of these) but the act of intercourse is often far more stimulating for the man than for the woman.
