Say the word and some of us immediately sink into our seats and get all awkward. Sure, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/sex-therapy-sexologist-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex<\/a> is still a taboo topic but it\u2019s such an important conversation to have. Especially if you\u2019re exploring your sexuality alone or with your partner(s). We\u2019ve done the deed for you and reached out to Relationship Counsellor and Clinical Sexologist Dr Martha Tara Lee of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eroscoaching.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Eros Coaching<\/a> for answers to all your awkward sex questions.<\/p>\n<h2>Sex education 101: All the answers to your questions<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Why do I have a low sex drive?<\/h3>\n<p>The main reasons are usually physical, psychological or relational. Physical causes of low libido are usually attributed to hormonal imbalance. Other symptoms include insomnia, fatigue, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and an inability to concentrate. I\u2019d suggest getting a medical check by an endocrinologist [a medical practitioner who diagnoses and treats disorders of the endocrine glands and hormones].<\/p>\n<p>Under psychological causes, stress, anxiety, pressure to perform, negative attitudes and experiences towards sex and sexuality can affect your sex drive. For relational causes, guilt-tripping, blaming, shaming, abuse and even lack of emotional support can cause you to have low sexual desire.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237076\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237076\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-237076 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-gummy-bears-900x643.png\" alt=\"awkward-sex-questions-gummy-bears\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-gummy-bears-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-gummy-bears-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-gummy-bears.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Dainis Graveris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2. Why can\u2019t I orgasm during intercourse? Is there something wrong with me?<\/h3>\n<p>Not everybody can orgasm during vaginal penetrative sex. Some people find it easier to orgasm by themselves. Some can only attain orgasm through external clitoral stimulation using hand, oral sex, or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/where-to-buy-adult-sex-toys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex toys<\/a>. This is mainly because our clitoris is full of nerve endings and it\u2019s easier to orgasm that way. It\u2019s been reported that 80% of women can only have clitoral orgasms, so let go of the pressure to have vaginal orgasms. Pelvic floor squeezes, otherwise known as kegels, are believed to support greater orgasmic ease. Giving yourself space and time to experiment, and relaxing into pleasure, can also help.<\/p>\n<h3>3. How do I get my partner to try (and enjoy) anal sex?<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than feel the need to do that, ask yourself your reasons for wanting your partner to try and enjoy this. Is this for them? Or for you? Do you want your partner to try it because you want to try it? If so, it\u2019s less about their yes, and more about your desire to try. Try saying something like, \u201cI\u2019d love to try anal sex\u201d vs \u201cYou should try\u201d. Separating this in your mind makes a difference because it leads to a different type of conversation \u2013 owning your sexual desires instead of making their sexual inhibition or resistance wrong. From that place of desire, both of you can explore further.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237073\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237073 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-answered-anal-sex-900x643.png\" alt=\"awkward-sex-questions-answered-anal-sex\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-answered-anal-sex-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-answered-anal-sex-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-answered-anal-sex.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Dainis Graveris via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4. What can I do to help with performance anxiety?<\/h3>\n<p>Sexual performance anxiety deals with wanting to do well sexually. While it\u2019s expressed as your desire to please your partner, it\u2019s actually not about them at all. By focusing on your \u201cdoing\u201d, you\u2019re not present. You\u2019re not really focused on them, and you almost always disconnect from them emotionally. Have an honest conversation about this anxiety and set some parameters or intentions for the session. For example, practice focusing on them, not you. When you can experience pleasure for pleasure\u2019s sake, it\u2019s wonderful. It\u2019ll be easier to let go of the pressures.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Is it considered cheating if I masturbate to porn when I\u2019m in a relationship?<\/h3>\n<p>Different people have different definitions of cheating. Ask your partner whether they consider masturbation to porn as cheating, and you\u2019ll have your answer. Depending on their personal values and upbringing, some people will find the idea objectifying and offensive.<\/p>\n<p>Most people I\u2019ve met worry about whether masturbating to porn will lead to sexual difficulties or a lack of sex in the relationship. I suggest being on the same page with your partner on this matter because sex, just like any other topic, is one we should talk about to avoid any miscommunication.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Why does sex hurt sometimes?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s common for sex to hurt regardless of gender. If your vagina is not fully aroused, penetration can feel a little rough and lead to soreness. That may result in tiny tears at the entrance to the vagina that won\u2019t feel good and can even be a conduit for infection. Extended foreplay can increase natural lubrication in the vaginal tissues before intercourse. There\u2019s a misconception that sexual lubricants are only needed when there isn\u2019t enough foreplay. Vaginal dryness is a common issue women of all ages face. Stress, lack of sleep, hormonal issues and more can cause dryness, regardless of your age.<\/p>\n<h3>7. What do I do if my partner\u2019s penis is too big or small (to the point where it\u2019s uncomfortable)?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237072\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237072 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-penis-size-900x643.png\" alt=\"awkward-sex-questions-penis-size\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-penis-size-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-penis-size-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-penis-size.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Charles Deluvio via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Based on a study of over 15,000 people, the average penis length is 3.6 in (9.1 cm) while flaccid, and 5.2 in (13.1 cm) while erect. During arousal, the vagina naturally elongates and becomes more flexible, enough to accommodate pretty much any size. Even if you have no problem getting wet during arousal, it can\u2019t hurt to supplement your natural moisture with a good quality sexual lubricant.<\/p>\n<p>Experiment with sex positions where the person who\u2019s fearful of pain can be in charge. Sex positions like woman-on-top, missionary and side-by-side sex [can help]. For people with smaller penises, some positions that allow for deeper penetration than others include doggy style and face-to-face. You can also consider penis extenders as sexual aids.<\/p>\n<h3>8. My partner\u2019s not great at oral \u2013 what can I do to help?<\/h3>\n<p>That can mean a lot of things \u2013 their willingness, lack of stamina, lack of consistency, or lack of variety. Each can be addressed separately. Start off by sharing what their doing well, and what else you\u2019d like to experiment with. Keep mixing up your praise and appreciation with one or two ways they can do better in giving you oral sex. All of us are sensitive to criticism but tend to be open to constructive feedback for improvement. With some patience and communication, they can most certainly improve.<\/p>\n<h3>9. I think I smell down there \u2013 what should I do?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237074\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237074 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-vagina-900x643.png\" alt=\"awkward-sex-questions-vagina\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-vagina-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-vagina-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/awkward-sex-questions-vagina.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Dainis Graveris via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vaginas have natural odours, and each woman\u2019s odour is different. Your vagina cleanses itself naturally. A healthy vagina\u2019s typical scent may best be described as \u201cmusky\u201d or \u201cfleshy.\u201d A menstrual cycle might cause a slightly \u201cmetallic\u201d scent for a few days. Intercourse may change the smell temporarily. If you\u2019re having a persistent, different smell than you\u2019re used to, go to your medical doctor for a check-up. Bacterial vaginosis, which is an overgrowth of normally occurring vaginal bacteria, is the most common vaginal infection that causes a vaginal odour. Trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection, can also lead to vaginal odour.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Why do women take a longer time to orgasm than men? How can I ensure both of us enjoy sex?<\/h3>\n<p>Orgasm and satisfaction are two distinct constructs. You can enjoy sex without an orgasm and not feel that it\u2019s lacking. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, women have fewer, less predictable, and more varied orgasm experiences than men. Dubbed as the \u201cOrgasm Gap\u201d in popular media, this has, in my opinion, little to do with the selfishness of the partner.<\/p>\n<p>A longer time to climax has been linked to poor arousal and distress over orgasm difficulties. Age and relationship satisfaction are associated with a quicker time to orgasm, perhaps because women gain more sexual experience over time and feel happier in their relationships. My advice: do your best to please your partner but if they can\u2019t get an orgasm, don\u2019t make it about you.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4>About the expert<\/h4>\n<p><em>A born and bred Singaporean Chinese, Dr Martha Tara Lee is a relationship counsellor and clinical sexologist of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eroscoaching.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Eros Coaching<\/a>.
