Quite the curious cat, you want to raise the bar higher now and learn more about real issues regarding sex. Being curious about sex is natural. Here are some things you may be wondering about but are afraid to ask.
Q: What happens during sexual intercourse?
A: When couples decide to be sexually active, what comes to mind usually is that they are ready to have sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the male sex organ which is the penis is inserted into the vaginal opening of the female.
Q: Should I worry if there is pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse?
A: The vagina becomes wet during sex. This prepares the vagina for sexual intercourse so that pain and injury may be prevented. The first time that a woman undergoes sexual intercourse, the ring-like covering or hymen that partly covers the vaginal opening may stretch and break. This can also cause some pain and bleeding. Bleeding may last for a long time if there is deep injury to the area. If bleeding does not decrease or stop, then it is best to see a doctor right away.
Q: What is masturbation?

Q: Is fantasizing about sexual thoughts considered abnormal?
A: It’s okay to fantasize from time to time. This is normal and most people do it. Sexual fantasies are not abnormal. It is necessary to understand that sexual thoughts do have an explanation.

Q: Can certain sex positions help determine the sex of your baby?
