Growing up in a religious family and attending a Catholic high school meant that when it came to sex, our only option was to not have it. The only kind of safe sex was abstinence– not condoms and birth control. Surprisingly, many of my friends accepted this and pledged to remain abstinent, including me. *note to present self– you are a much more independent thinker than younger you* Getting out of the Catholic school and into the real world opened my eyes to a whole new world of sex. The carefree influences from my college friends helped me tap into my sexuality and try new things. But as most new timers know, there were some pretty awkward moments (and still are) while getting the hang of things. Whether it’s your first time, or one-thousandth time⊠sex can still be awkward. Good news is, it doesnât just happen to you– we all experience these moments.
Getting Undressed
Right from the start, the beginning of sex can be awkward. The first thing you need to do is get undressed, but sometimes this can be pretty tricky, or just plain uncomfortable. You might try to do a sexy strip tease and then before you know it your shirt is stuck on your earring and your effed. Shit! Or you might bump heads when heâs trying to slip your shirt off while simultaneously leaning in to kiss you as soon as itâs above your head. Best thing to do? Just rip your clothes off yourself and donât waste anytime.
Switching Positions
So youâve finally gotten your clothes off and things seem to be going pretty smoothly. Or so you thought! Until itâs time to switch positions. Sometimes these transitions arenât as smooth as the ones you see in the movies. A leg gets caught here, an arm gets twisted there, and he just isnât as seamless when heâs flipping you over while maintaining his own balance. The inner monologue of âomg whatâs my nipple doing? Wait shit.â But thatâs ok! Laugh about it and move on. No need to ditch the guy later because his transitions werenât smooth. This may be the O-lympics, but itâs certainly not the Olympics.
Not Wet Enough
Now that youâve gotten into a new position you just arenât that into it anymore. Occasionally we women do not stay aroused (wet) for as long as the sex lasts. Thatâs where lube comes in! Donât be embarrassed. Grab the lube and be generous with it. You will both be thankful for the silky, slipperiness that it provides, which can be a huge turn on. Sex should be messy!
Hot, Steamy, Slippery, Dangerous Shower Sex
Still not yet enough? Slip into the shower (no pun intended). Shower sex— another thing movies ruin for us. No matter how hard we try, water blasting you in the face while you’re trying to get it on is not really all that sexy. But how do they make shower sex look so steamy? LOTS and LOTS of repeated takes. We all know that you never just do a scene in a movie once…and sex is no exception. Use the ledge of the bath for leverage or grab the shower handle for balance and you should be able to maintain some type of romance. Use each experience as a lesson for the next and after time youâll be a movie star in the shower.

âWhatâs that noise?â
As if things couldnât get any worse? Bodily sounds are nothing you can avoid while getting it on. If a weird moan slips out or your boobs suction on top of him or heaven forbid you queef, donât let these distract you from the end g-O-al. Chances are heâs too âin the momentâ to notice.
âIâm gonna…Iâm gonna…ughhhâ
Remember that time he came on your chest, your stomach, your back, and even your face? It seems that guys love doing this but canât always explain why. If you’re into it tell him where you like it and have fun with it. Â And if you’re not a fan of getting sticky let him know ahead of time so you donât get surprised with a face-full. Letâs face it…not even pineapple cum can make that enjoyable.
Let Us Not Forget The Beloved O Face
Own is sister! You deserve it so donât hold back. Scream, screech, tremble, and shake. Be the woman you whole heartedly are and the face you make will be the last thing on his mind! Confidence is sexy!
