5 Questions About Séx That You’re Probably Too Shy To Ask
1. Is sex supposed to hurt the first time?
Sexual relations should ideally not cause suffering. Pain can arise during sexual activity for a variety of causes. Some women may have an infection, while others may have a tight vaginal opening or hymen. Therefore, it is advised that any pair attempting their first sexual experience be patient with one another and spend more time together before the penetration to increase the amount of mucus produced by the vaginal gland and facilitate the penetration.
2. Is it safe to have sex during periods?
Having sex when you are on your period is perfectly safe. Additionally, while extremely unlikely, the likelihood of becoming pregnant is not entirely zero. Pregnancy is still possible while on your period. Some people like to have sex when they are menstruating because it eliminates the need for additional lubrication. However, since STIs can still spread, it's a good idea to use a condom.
3. Will having sex with multiple people in 1 week or 1 month cause STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
Yes, having intercourse even once, even with the same partner, might result in an STD. Even in the absence of penetration, it can spread when genitalia come into touch. To reduce your risk of contracting an STD, always ask your partner about their sexual history before engaging in any kind of sexual activity. With more partners, this is more likely to happen.
Condom usage does not prevent the transmission of STDs. Some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including herpes, HPV, and others can be transferred from one person to another by skin-to-skin contact. Although condoms can prevent STDs from entering your vagina, skin-to-skin contact might still allow them to spread.
4. Can you get pregnant using a condom even if it doesn't break?
Indeed, there are circumstances in which a woman becomes pregnant despite using a condom. When condoms are used properly, their failure rate is between 4 and 8%. The failure rate is likewise around 2% when it is employed flawlessly. Usually, this occurs as a result of the condom not being used appropriately. It's crucial to understand that sperm can also be found in pre-cum, meaning that getting pregnant doesn't just need ejaculation.
5. Is extreme pain after sex normal?
No, experiencing severe discomfort following intercourse is not typical. While some little discomfort is typical in the beginning, persistent pain—especially deep-seated pain—may indicate endometriosis, fibroid disease, or an internal infection. To find out more, speak with your gynecologist.
