This Technique Could Make Sex More Comfortable if You Suffer from Vaginal Tightness

According to Psychology today, many women complain that their vagina’s are too tight or too loose.  

In fact, a recent study found that 30% of women actually complained of discomfort during their last sexual experience due to tightness.

Sex therapist, Madeleine Castellanos, explained to Buzzfeed that vaginal tightness is usually a result of not feeling sufficiently aroused before sex.

“Vaginas are made to expand during arousal, and obviously a whole lot more during childbirth,” she said.

“It takes time, adequate foreplay, and lots of lubrication for your vaginal canal to open up so that penetration can be comfortable.”

However, in some cases, women can suffer from thicker hymenal tissue causing pain during intercourse.

Regardless of the cause, sex writer with Thrillist, Elle Stranger has advice for women who find sex uncomfortable. She advises that foreplay be extended and penetration delayed through the following technique:

“Lube up your belly, lie on your back, and use your hand to sandwich his penis between your stomach and palm. The person with the penis can thrust without hurting you! Missionary position works well because the weight of their body, and the ability to kiss and embrace is very similar to vag/peen intercourse.

“If you just need a warm-up before penetration, use a vibrator of your choosing. If you can orgasm before penetration, all the better — your O will relax your muscles and engorge and lubricate that region, making sex more probable.”

And there you have it.
