Given that fewer than 20 percent of vulva-owners can orgasm from penetration alone , it makes sense that what helps build more pleasurable orgasms isn't so much different positions, but what's happening during penetration. Hint: Let's not forget that clitoral stimulation has been found to be the fastest route to orgasm. Furthermore, "now that they have names, we can more freely try them, talk about them, and ask our partners to do the techniques with us," says OMGYes research scientist Christiana von Hippel.
What is sex?
What if I did not have penetrative sex?
We all know you can achieve an orgasm from clitoral or vaginal simulation. But did you know that the cervix is also a pleasure zone? We rounded up the most pressing concerns about cervix penetration so you can get down to business worry-free. The bare-bones definition of penetration is this: any object that makes its way through or into something. Cervical orgasms are achieved by stimulating the cervix — not penetration. Nope, not at all. Plus, the os is filled with cervical mucus — playing around with that stuff is definitely not our idea of a good time. The only time the cervical opening expands wide enough for anything to pass through is on the delivery table. In short, pressure. Nothing is going in or out of it.
Ask a Question!
Sexual penetration is the insertion of a body part or other object into a body orifice , such as the vagina , anus or mouth , as part of human sexual activity or animal sexual behavior. The term is most commonly used in statute law in the context of proscribing certain sexual activities. Terms such as " sexual intercourse " or " carnal knowledge " are more commonly found in older statutes, while many modern criminal statutes use the term "sexual penetration" because it is a broad term encompassing unless otherwise qualified any form of penetrative sexual activity, including digital i. Some jurisdictions refer to some forms of penetration as "acts of indecency ", or other terminology. When a penis is inserted into a vagina, it is generally called vaginal or sexual intercourse. The tongue may also penetrate the anus during anilingus , which is a form of oral and anal sex. If one or more fingers are used to penetrate an orifice, it is called fingering or digital penetration. The insertion of an object, such as a dildo , vibrator or other sex toy , into a person's genital area or anus may also be considered sexual penetration.
Yet sometimes discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse or penetration may occur, even when it seems like your body is ready. If penetration is at all painful during sex, find out what the cause is and what can be done about it. The following situations and conditions can contribute to or cause pain during intercourse or other forms of penetration. The first few times you have intercourse or experience vaginal penetration, you may feel a small to moderate amount of pain at the entrance to the vagina. There can be some bleeding or no bleeding at all—both are normal. The reasons for the pain are not always clear, but it is typically temporary. An unstretched hymen vaginal corona has typically been blamed for this pain at first penetration, but new understandings of the hymen suggest otherwise. But not all hymens meet these criteria, and women without substantial hymens can also experience painful penetration. The truth is that research has not told us with any particular specificity why it is that this discomfort happens, or why it happens for some women regardless of hymen type and not others.
