How about considering this in a different way? If and when you do have intercourse, some of what I'm about to say will probably be a big duh; be things you'll find out for yourself. If you have already had other kinds of sex, you may know much of this already, but just not realize that as things...

While it would be nice sometimes to have a fact sheet that listed everything every person enjoyed with sex – after a while it would become boring to have all the answers and the fun of discovery with partners would no longer be present. That said, I can’t tell you what position would be best for you...

Hi Merie, For the record, that awkward sex happens from time to time, no matter who you are, how many partners you've had, and how many times you've been with said partner. It's okay, and it's completely normal. You aren't doing anything wrong either. Have you told him that while you enjoy being on...

Some folks have the idea -- usually before they have any or some kinds of sex with a partner, or when the only kinds of sex they've had have been when one or both partners either feel uncertain, not ready or just aren't all that excited and aroused -- that you can divide any kind of sex with...

It's the position that you and your partner find immensely pleasurable at that moment in place and time. The answer to your question is going to change based on where you are, how you're feeling, and who you're with. So you and your partner get to figure out what's working and what's not. If...

Not all of our bodies and genitals are made alike. With penises, for instance, you not only have differences in size, you...

I was wondering why we were getting this question a lot lately. Then last week, I saw the movie 'Knocked Up.' Lo and behold, one of the characters in the movie claims (and exclaims) that a girl can't get pregnant if she's on top. 'Cause of gravity and all that. WRONG! So totally not true!!! Yes...

If sperm went into a vagina and the person with the vagina is not on any form of birth control, then YES, they could get pregnant. Even if they're on top, and some semen trickles out, chances are just enough sperm cells could make their way up into their reproductive tract to result in a pregnancy...

It sounds like he's ramming into your cervix. A lot of people with vaginas really don't like that 'cause it can be painful. Look at this diagram from Innies & Outies and notice how the vagina ends at the tip of the cervix. The vagina is only about 4 or 5 inches deep, so if a penis is longer than...

Sex doesn't have to be (and for most people to feel satisfied, really shouldn't be) only or solely about intercourse, and neither a smaller penis nor being of size means that sex has to be, or will be, unsatisfying for either partner. My good friend and colleague Hanne Blank literally wrote the book...
