4 Intercourse questions you may be embarrassed to ask

In Indonesia, sex is still a taboo subject to be discussed freely. This is sometimes what makes you dare not to dig deeper into things related to intimate relationships.

Even if you are asking for a health purpose, asking questions about sex from the trivial to the serious can be embarrassing. Therefore, there will be some questions that may have crossed your head but are too embarrassing to ask.

Questions about intimate relationships that are often embarrassed to ask

1. Is it safe to have sex while menstruating?

There is no medical reason that says that you shouldn't have sex while you're menstruating. However, sex during menstruation is indeed more susceptible to venereal disease, especially if your partner has one of the sexually transmitted diseases that are transmitted through blood such as HIV.

You also have to ask your partner, is he comfortable having sex during menstruation or not. Because although there are many women who enjoy sex during menstruation and may be more passionate and sensitive, many women do not like to do this when they are visited by their monthly visitors.

2. Why do I pass wind from the vagina during intercourse?

You don't need to worry, this is actually normal. Gas that comes out of area V, also known as vaginal flatulence, is the air trapped in area V when air from outside enters the vagina and comes out suddenly.

Certain positions, such as doggy style, allow this to happen. If the sound of gas trapped in the vagina bothers you, try another force, such as missionary or woman on top.

3. Is it safe to swap positions from vaginal to anal sex, or vice versa?

The vagina is actually prone to dirt. Therefore, it is advisable to wash the vagina from front to back, not the other way around, because it is feared that it will carry bacteria from the dirt in the rectum to the vaginal canal.

Likewise, when changing positions, from vaginal to anal sex, or from vaginal to oral, etc., it is advisable to wipe clean the penis, any affected parts of the body, or change the condom used. This prevents bacteria from moving from the mouth, anus, or vagina to other areas of the body that can cause infection.

4. Is it normal to imagine other people having sex with a partner?

According to a survey conducted in Australia, about 50 percent of women and 75 percent of men imagine something else when having sex with their partner. It's actually normal to get aroused and keep your sex life active, and that doesn't mean you don't love your partner.

Fantasy sex becomes a problem when it affects your ability to connect with your partner in the real world. You shouldn't always have to imagine other people in order to reach orgasm. Try to focus on your partner, look him in the eye, touch his face, shoulders, or buttocks. These kinds of contacts will make you feel more "connected" when you have sex with them.
