Vaginal Intercourse

Vaginal intercourse is more commonly known as sex or coitus in Latin. It is the act of inserting the penis into the vagina, and is one of the most pleasurable experiences that two people can share. This article only covers the basics in what you need to know, make sure to visit the rest of the site for more advanced techniques.

First Time

The first time having sexual intercourse, for many people, is never what they expect. It is never as fulfilling or beautiful as fantasized about or seen in media. Your first time can be a very intimate experience if taken slowly, but do not expect it to be the best sex you will ever have. For women, their first couple of times will be painful and the man needs to take extra special care in going slow and listening to her needs. From the other point of view, many men suffer from a performance anxiety their first time as a result of all this pressure to knock her boots off. If this happens, return back to foreplay, do not let it bother or stop you as it is natural. When the time is right, everything will happen, so be supportive of each other.

First time sexual encounters are usually fumbling, learning experiences, where both people are just starting to understand their partners body and how to make that person satisfied sexually. For more detailed information on your first time, make sure to check out the first time for her and first time for him articles.

Movement

Sex is all about trying to stimulate the sensitive areas of the vagina and penis, how you move should depend on your preferences and the position. Some people enjoy slowly rocking together, others enjoy quick shallow strokes, and yet others love nothing more then the sensation of deep penetration. There is no right or wrong way, as long as both people are enjoying the experience.

A common misconception is that thrusting faster means better sex. Although most people enjoy going really hard right before climax, this point must be reached before the approach feels good. You should always try new things, keep mixing it up by varying your speed and the depth as you build towards climax.

Finding the rhythm may take some time, as will getting your abs, legs, arms and back into shape. Though most positions don’t require a great deal of strength, they all require endurance, so strengthening your muscles is a good place to start.

Positions

Please refer to the sex positions sections for ideas and details.

sex hurts

My fiance and i have sex often and it always hurts. Not only do I never have an orgasm, but when he tries to stimulate the g-spot it just hurts. I can't do a lot of positions because it is painful. Also, it might just be because I don't orgasm, but it is never good for me unless he is on top. Any suggestions?

I have a question

My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 months, and we have sex often and it's always great, but almost everytime we have sex, he ends up wanting to have anal intercourse. I asked him why he likes it that way so much better and he said, because after we are having sex for a while, I got TOO WET and it doesn't feel good to him anymore. I thought this was wierd, I never heard of being "too wet" before. I mean, he always makes me cum at least a couple times, so that is why I'm wet, but now I feel nervous like I am getting too wet. He is not circumsized..could this be why he says I get too wet? Help please

HELP

i dont know where to post this, so i figure i would post it here.
i have just recently gotten over a yeast infection. which was NOT fun. after i got over the fact i wasnt going to die, i couldnt have sex for about two weeks. which killed me.
so when the infection was finally gone, and nothing really hurt anymore, i started having sex again.
but it hurt, like i was loosing my virginity all over again. i even bled as well.
apparently im even tighter from when i was a virgin!
i dont know whats wrong. it hurt to have sex. not like i have the infrection. but like im a virgin and im taking it for the first time.
not only that, we've had sex about 3 times now, and it all still hurts, and its still extremely tight.
the area its raw and sore really fast. and i do cum, so i know its not from dryness.
i have no idea how to deal with this. dont get me wrong, i love the fact im tight and all. but its just weird.
i think i may have to go to a doctor... help!

nervous

im 18, im a virgin, and im terribly nervous about having sex. ive heard some stories that have really freaked me out; that its gonna hurt like hell, or that I wont enjoy it. can someone please give me their opinion on it, and help put me at my ease.
thanks

mrs. thornton

Hi nervous, im 18 2 sex isnt that bad at all as long its with right guy. its like all most the best thing that can happen to you. me and my boyfriend always have sex and we love . you will knw when your ready for sex dont rush yourself

Graduality is the key

Be gradual with your partner! Who says that the first sexual togetherness has to be vaginal intercourse? Why can't it be mutual masturbation, or manual sex or oral sex?

very few people enjoy sex

very few people enjoy sex their first time or their first few times, first thing i want to say is don't rush it, make sure you are with a guy that you love, and that he will be understanding if it's too painful but just because the first few times aren't great or even good doesn't mean that you shouldn't do it

nervous

its ok to be nervous evryone was when it was there first time.but it all depends on your pain torrance. your first time isnt going to be the best ever it will be a little disforting and werid but after like the second or third time it should get better and be more pleasing for you..but this is just my opinion and the advice i had to give you...
i hope everything goes well for you and remember to use PROTECTION!!!

xoxo

problems

I have been dating a girl that i care about very much for almost a year now. However, we have a problem in bed: during sex, after about 15 minutes of intercourse, this very sensitive spot ( I dont know what its called, its like a little button thats extra sensitive) starts to hurt her and she cant experience pleasure after that. I don't know if its me or her or both of us or what we should do. If anyone has any experience with or solutions to this matter please let me know.

hmmmmm

the most likely cause is that you penetrated too deep and hurt her that way. that happened to me once and i just want to stop. but then again...there alot of factors to be taken into consideration.

HELP NEEDED URGENTLY!

i know this is going to be a ridiculous question but im not really sure how to perform. iv'e had sex with 2 different girls and both times i have messed up and made myself look like a complete and utter idiot. i have no idea what im doing when it comes to it and i was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips. im going away on a holiday with my friends in a few weeks and id like to know as much as i can about having sex. i would like to know what movements 2 make, how to put the penis in and know it is in and just anything to do with what i need 2 do for sucssesful sex. if anyone could give me any tips it would be greatly appreciated my friends have very high expectations of each other and i would like 2 live up 2 these expectations. much appreciated.

--Step 0: Preparation. Before you even begin in bed, there is preparation, both for you and for her. Make sure you have a good type of condom to use that suits your needs. Do you need it to be slightly thicker to delay your orgasm? Thin so you can feel what you're doing? That's for you to decide. Do you think you'll need lube?

Then, it's good to make sure the location is good. Is the room clean and tidy? Making the bed and cleaning up beforehand can be important. Does she have a favorite smell or food? If so, burn a candle with that smell, or eat her favorite meal with her beforehand. It's also a good idea to have the condom box already opened, with a condom already torn from the strip, to avoid the clumsy mess of tearing it open in a rush. Once you've got her in your room and it's getting good, move to step 1.

--Step 1: Foreplay foreplay foreplay. Read the foreplay section, both the cunnilingus sections, and the massage sections. Take your time with this step, make sure she's good and wet and you know she wants it. When it gets to the point that she's writhing and just asking for it, pick up your already-out-of-the-box condom and put it on. Make sure you put it on right, and leave a little semen-reservoir at the tip.

--Step 2: Insertion. If you're nervous you'll miss and put it in the wrong hole, reach down with your hand and locate her vagina first, then maneuver your penis down to where your finger is. Push it in gently or you may hurt her. For the first couple seconds, just work it all the way in, then all the way out very slowly, to make sure your penis gets as wet as her vagina does.

--Step 3: The horizontal shuffle. From this point, you'll have to play it by ear. There's no magic formula to please everyone, so just try going faster, slower, harder, deeper, gentler, etc, until you get the response you're looking for. If you did the foreplay right, you should have already figured a bit of this part out. And remember to change up the position a bit every few minutes. Starting off in missionary is fine, but eventually it will get boring. Try it with her on top, or doggy style for some other easy positions.

And the important part to being impressive in bed is to try to ensure that she climaxes. Studies show that 75% of women say they do not have an orgasm during sex. Try to make her a sexual minority ;)

Orgasm

Alright, me and my girlfriend have been together for almost a year already and we're both sex-a-holic's. I'm a girl myself and we tend to have sex with a strap-on. I like it to some extent but I cant seem to reach orgasm. On the other hand I may have and not even known it considering she's the first person I've done anything sexual with. Please help!!

And one more thing...

Don't worry about him not ejaculating. Orgasm doesn't have to occur in the vagina. You can satisfy him manually/orally, etc.

First time?

Me and my partner have just experienced sex for the first time, and for me the pain was unbearable. While I enjoyed it, i can't get over how something that big and thick can fit inside me, and we didn't manage to get the whole.....thing in. What's worse is that he didn't ejaculate, which makes me feel as if he felt it was unpleasureable, and i don't think he understands just how painful it was for me. Forgive me for being naive but is it meant to hurt a lot?

lubrication lubrication

lubrication lubrication lubrication! if your not wet make him get you wet ;) dont have sex if you arent wet.

It happens sometimes

Okay, so first of all: if you see that he cares for you, that he stops if you ask him to, that he doesn't want anything bad to happen to you; it's a sign of true love. That's what I call the true masculinity. Not drinking like an animal, having 30 cm long penis or treating women like dogs. Caring for the others.
So, about the problem: don't worry about it. Some women may experience the same. The problem is, that the vagina is not wide enough in the first few encounters, but you can prepare for this: fingering! Move your fingers/make your partner move his fingers in your vagina as if you/he wants to widen it. Of course, enjoy it too. Try inserting other thick things into your vagina (clean, non-sugary and non-alkaline things of course) to widen it for the big day (dildo, carrot, banana, etc.). You may also want to try positions where you, the girl, are in total control. Check out the cowgirl sex postitions on this site. Or ask him to do shallow penetration, and get deeper and deeper gradually.
Communication is the key! If it hurts, SAY IT! Communication is very important! Talk with your boyfrien about the problem.
Hope I was helpful.

Vagina Intercourse

Well this is where my sex career started. It is still to me a sign of explicit love and as the years go by any other type of intercourse is just to make sex more beautiful and then get it culminated into something special. The vagina and penis are the main organs to produce pleasure and once experimentation takes place than these organs can be used for greater pleasure.I think that everyone should move away after a while from the normal vaginal sex to a more broad based lovemaking.
Lizz

Not quite right on this one Lizz...

"The vagina and penis are the main organs to produce pleasure" - That's exactly the statement that makes the sexual life of lot of girls unenjoyable. Because of this misbelief, they have doubts about themselves. They have doubts wether they are normal, or not. Undisputedly, the clit is the main female organ that produces sexual pleasure, NOT the vagina. 60-70% of women mainly reach orgasm through their clit, which is absolutely normal. As someone else here has already written it down, the man (or the woman herself) can pleasure the clit during vaginal intercourse, to help reaching orgasm. Hell, sometimes vaginal orgasm is actually clitorial orgasm, because the clit is stimulated by the back-and-forth movement of the labia minora. I'm not saying vaginal orgasm is impossible, it can be learned with patience and endurance, but don't be disappointed, if you can't learn it!
And Lizz, please don't give advice like "huge, 10 inch penis is the best", or "the vagina is the main source for female orgasm". You'll only do harm with comments like these. Or state the fact, that you are a nymphomaniac, a sperm-addict, an anal intercourse-addict, which are OK if you can live a life like that, but then don't think that the things that pleasure you are general for every women. Sorry if I sound like I'm offending you. I'm not, I just thought it's important for you, and for everyone to know this.
And one more thing: while the ability for the boys to reach orgasm is acquired automatically with the first ejaculation, menstruation doesn't come with an orgasm, so for the girls, it HAS TO BE LEARNED. The surest way for this is through masturbation.

Spot on...

I agree with everything you said.

My partner & me are new users to this site and quite frankly are sick & tired of this Lizz posting/spamming ridicule comments. It's getting extremely tidious. That's coming from two new users plus yourself, so were not the only one's getting fed up, sorry Lizz, don't mean to be rude, but hey take a step back for a min & look how your coming across...

On topic. Sex as a whole is a learning experience, what we are trying to explore is some of the positions that work for us & try find the best vaginal orgasm experience whilst I am mastering the technique of endurance.

orgasm

I have been with my girlfriend for about 9 months now. And we enjoy great sex but I cannot get her to orgasm.she has never orgasmed and this truly bothers me. What can I do to help us?

It's natural

A lot of guys out there worry about this. They take it as an affront to their skills. Unfortunately, they often make a reproach because of this, which can lead to very-very serious relationship-problems. The girl will feel like she is a "handicapped", and she will start to feel embarassed, awkward and inferior.
I know stories where the sex from the girl's point of view always ended in tears. They started having less and less sex, and all of them ended with tears from the girl, and reproach and making faces from the man. Nobody can want that.

Now, here are some biological reasons for this "problem"
1. The function of the vagina is to ensure a channel, through which sperm can get into the inner female genitals, eventually meeting with an egg. Then, after 9 months, the baby has to come out somewhere. Menstruation has to come out somewhere too. Sexual pleasuring can be only tertiary!

2. There are 1000 times (!) more nerve-endings in the clit, than in the vagina. Yes, you've read it right, one-thousand times more. Furthermore, they are concentrated in smaller place. Of course the clit is the key to female orgasm! Moreover, as far as we know, the only function the clit has is sexual pleasuring!

3. Just think about it: if the vagina was as sensitive as the clit, how would a woman be able to stand the pain of birth? They'd probably die.

4. Vaginal orgasm is often related to the G-spot. But! What most people don't know, that not everyone has a G-spot! Well, that's not entirely exact: everyone has one, but the sizes of it are different. The female G-spot is the female prostate. Since this is basically a male organ, it will start to wither. The degree of this will decide if the female prostate will remain big enough to be pleasured or not. It is important to point out, that a woman CAN have vaginal orgasm without a pleasurable G-spot. It CAN ba learned with the Kegel-excersise, but it's NOT something they are BORN WITH.

5. As mentioned above, the vagina is not so rich in nerve-endings. In fact, as we go deeper, the less we will encounter (the cervix is an exception, but that is not necessarily pleasuring). The most of them are at the OPENING of the vagina.

Are you still truly bothered about it? Do you still think it needs to be helped?
Guys, let's not expect vaginal orgasm from our girls. It's like expecting anal orgasm from a boy (which is possible).

Help !

I've been with my boyfriend for a few months and we're really happy. I was a virgin when we met but i didn't want to tell him because he had experience. We've slept together about 6 times but i still feel as though i'm crap in bed and i think he probably thinks that too. he's never mentioned it but i just feel embarassed because i dont know what to do! He has talked about feeling bad because i never orgasm and he has almost everytime, but the thing is i've never orgasmed before so i dont know how to make it happen to make him feel not as guilty! i just feel stupid because he has experience and i don't! I don't enjoy sex because i feel as though i'm crap and i feel bad because i love him and don't want to lose him! Help! xx

Don't worry, it's natural!

For boys, the ability to reach orgasm comes automatically, but for the girls, it has to be learned. So don't feel bad about it, every women who doesn't practice has the same "problem". How to practice? Masturbation! The first orgasm is something that you should experience alone. No don't depend on anyone, so you can take all the time you need (just choose a good place and time, when nobody can disturb you, so you don't have to rush it!).
If the an orgasma continues to be a problem, then there might be some psychological reasons for it. Do you trust him? How much do you trust him? Could you trust him with your life? Do you really love him? Were you raised to think that sexuality is a taboo? Did you have any traumatic experiences about sexuality before? Don't forget either, that it is the clit that is the key to female pleasure, not the vagina!
See the long comments above, they are a bit more detailed.

:(

I know most people have the opposite problem, but I have a marathon man for a boyfriend! He goes on far too long, and I'm beginning to worry it's me, and he can't achieve orgasm with me! :(
Another problem is I have bad leg joints and muscles, and that's a huge reason for my above problem - whatever position we try I am often in severe pain by the end ... he's never cum inside me (which I do want) simply because he has to finish himself off as I am in so much pain I can't stand it any longer. Any advice?

Here's the proof for "size matters not"

As we see in this comment, a huge penis is actually a problem. Did you just start having sex? If so, were you fingered before, or did you insert anything into yourself that is wider than a tampon? The most common problem for the girls is not the losing of the hymen, but the unusual feeling of something as wide as an erect penis penetrating them. This can be easily solved, with "traning", namely fingering or inserting dildos. In your case, your problem might be that your boyfriend is huge. It is possible, that he is hitting your cervix with every thrust, which can be very painful. My advice is, train a little when you are alone with fingering, or with dildos, and with your boyfriend, try shallow penetration, or positions where you are in total control (cowgirl for example). You might also want to do the Kegel-excersises, to strenghten your vaginal muscles. And don't worry, your problem can be solved! Optimism is the most important thing when fighting a sexual problem!

It Happenes so fast

Most of the time when I had sex with my girlfirend ... I just can not control it. I finish so fast while I feel I need more. Neither of us is feeling comfortable because she feels we are finishing early, and for me I feel that I still need more ... but you know it needs a little time to start over again.

weird that you feel you need more...

it's kinda weird that you feel you need more... at least in my opinion because that never happened to me... but the solution I found was just go at it the first time that day, then wait until you can get a boner again and as soon as you can go at it again. the second time, you'll probably find you aren't getting much pleasure but you take a long time to reach orgasm. My fianc'e had to have me pull out after we did it quite a while cuz her pussy hurt too much ( we were coming up on 45 min i think ). Just repeat that process every day and you'll be having sex for a long time on your first time every time.

Nut #1

Nut #1 will betray you any chance it gets, so my advice is, go jack off and get his back stabbin ass out the way... Cuz we don't be bullshitin on nut #2, you will be able to control it alot easier.
