Sex should never hurt, of course. But painful sex is a common enough issue that it actually has a medical name. Dyspareunia, or painful intercourse, is any persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs before, during, or after penetrative sex, and it may affect 8% to 20% of women according to some studies.
The article and accompanying video details six different sex positions to try if painful sex is an issue:
- Woman on top – allows you to control the pace and depth of penetration
- Spooning – allows the woman to control the depth of a thrust by raising or lowering their leg
- Outercourse – penetration is not necessary to have great, orgasmic sexual experiences
- Doggy style – a great position for women to try if they have pain at “6 o’clock”
- C-spot sensations – lie on your stomach and have your partner approach you from behind, but encourage him to remain still
- Chair twerking – when deeper penetration is what leads to pain, play with positions that allow for shallow penetration
