Does first
intercourse hurt ?
The first time a woman has sex, it may or may
not be painful.There may be psychological and physical
reasons for it. If you are not sure about your partner
or if you are not entirely convinced about the timing
and place, then you may feel more pain than you should.
If you and your partner truly care for one another and
he is gentle and understanding and will go slowly, then
there may be less discomfort. Physically, often, the first
time a woman has sex there will be some bleeding as the
hymen is torn. Using large amounts of a water-based lubricant
may help. If you have been using tampons, that may have
helped to stretch your hymen.
Sex during Period
Sex during periods is a strong taboo in many cultures
but there is no scientific basis for it .For the average,
mutually monogamous couple with no sexually transmitted
disease, there is no medical reason to avoid sex during
menses. In fact many women feel increased sexual arousal
during the periods.
Pain during sex
There may be a host of reasons for painful intercourse.
Pain on initial penetration is often due to infection,
spasm of the vaginal muscles or inadequate lubrication.
Pain on deeper thrusting may be caused by endometriosis,
adhesions (scar tissue), a retroverted (backward-tilting)
uterus or fibroids. Pain in only one particular position
may simply mean that in that position, your partner is
pushing against your cervix.
Persistent pain in all the positions should prompt a
visit to your gynaecologist for a thorough checkup.
Bleeding after Intercourse
Bleeding after intercourse (post-coital bleeding in doctor
talk) can occur for several reasons. Infection is one
of the most common reasons.
Abnormal cervical cells, including cancer, are also more
easily irritated and may bleed with intercourse. Women
who use an IUD or diaphragm may experience such bleeding
from irritation and friction. Sometimes the bleeding is
not from the cervix, but rather from a tear in the vagina;
tears can happen with vigorous sex or if you are dry.
G-Spot
There is a lot of talk regarding the most erotic zones
for a woman. The Grafenberg spot, or G-spot, is considered
to be one such area. This is an area located within the
front wall of the vagina, about one centimetre from the
surface and one-third to one-half way in from the vaginal
opening.
The significance of the G-spot is that in about half
the women it is a highly sensitive area that under the
right conditions can be very pleasurable if stimulated.
For some women, it can be a primary source of stimulation
leading to orgasm during intercourse.
It is believed that stimulation of the G-Spot can lead
to what is known as female ejaculation.
