Vaginal intercourse is more commonly known as sex or coitus in Latin. It is the act of inserting the penis into the vagina, and is one of the most pleasurable experiences that two people can share. This article only covers the basics in what you need to know, make sure to visit the rest of the site for more advanced techniques.

First Time
The first time having sexual intercourse, for many people, is never what they expect. It is never as fulfilling or beautiful as fantasized about or seen in media. Your first time can be a very intimate experience if taken slowly, but do not expect it to be the best sex you will ever have. For women, their first couple of times will be painful and the man needs to take extra special care in going slow and listening to her needs. From the other point of view, many men suffer from a performance anxiety their first time as a result of all this pressure to knock her boots off. If this happens, return back to foreplay, do not let it bother or stop you as it is natural. When the time is right, everything will happen, so be supportive of each other.

First time sexual encounters are usually fumbling, learning experiences, where both people are just starting to understand their partners body and how to make that person satisfied sexually. For more detailed information on your first time, make sure to check out the first time for her and first time for him articles.

Movement
Sex is all about trying to stimulate the sensitive areas of the vagina and penis, how you move should depend on your preferences and the position. Some people enjoy slowly rocking together, others enjoy quick shallow strokes, and yet others love nothing more then the sensation of deep penetration. There is no right or wrong way, as long as both people are enjoying the experience.

A common misconception is that thrusting faster means better sex. Although most people enjoy going really hard right before climax, this point must be reached before the approach feels good. You should always try new things, keep mixing it up by varying your speed and the depth as you build towards climax.

Finding the rhythm may take some time, as will getting your abs, legs, arms and back into shape. Though most positions don’t require a great deal of strength, they all require endurance, so strengthening your muscles is a good place to start.

Lubrication
Many couples find that a lubricant makes for a far more enjoyable experience. Unless your female partner creates large amounts of lubrication, it is a good practice to use a lubricant. It decreases the chance of irritation if intercourse either happens frequently or lasts for long periods of time. For men with a large penis, it is also a good idea to have some lube handy on your first few encounters with a new partner in case your size is a little overwhelming at first. You can buy lubricant at most pharmacies, or order it online at our store.

Protection
We at sexinfo101 cannot stress enough the importance of using protection, especially with new partners. Once you know your partner's history and have both been checked out, assuming both partners remain faithful, it should be safe to use contraceptives that only offer protection from pregnancy. STD's are spreading like wild fire throughout the entire world, especially in the 18-25 demographic. Although condoms do take a little away from intercourse, is it worth sacrificing your sexual health for that little extra pleasure? Protection is everyone's responsibility and there are no excuses for not using it. Click Here to buy condoms now.
