Sue's Sex FAQ
Sex Positions
Sex FAQs provided by Sue Johanson of the Sunday Night Sex Show.
Q. We heard sex under water might be bad for the girl. Is this true?
A. It's fun but you lose a lot of power pushing against the water. The vagina is a dead-end street and you may be forcing water under pressure into the vagina. Some of that water may go up and through the cervix and into the uterus. Some researchers believe that this may cause Pelvic Inflammatory disease; others think it might cause endometriosis. If you want to fool around in water, play hide the weenie, oral sex and submarine. But if you wish to enjoy the actual intercourse, stand up and turn the shower on and have sex standing up. Half the fun is getting there.
Q. My boyfriend likes it when I am on top but I am fifty pounds heavier than him. Is there a way I can feel more comfortable up there?
A. If you hurt him, he will let you know. He is probably enjoying it so much he is not thinking about fifty pounds one way or another. Don't be preoccupied with hurting him. Guys do not do pain well and he will let you know. He will either squeeze your legs or say ouch, no. You're straddled on him with most of the pressure on your knees. How can you hurt him? Don't feel bad. Tell him, "I'm scared and I don't want to hurt you. I need you to tell me if you are uncomfortable or it hurts." If he is not complaining, he is fine. Honestly.
Q. My girlfriend is pregnant (7 ½ months). Is sex okay and what position will put the least amount of pressure on the baby?
A. The baby is fine. The baby is in the uterus with walls that are thick. It is not only protected by the uterus but the baby is floating in an amniotic sack full of water. It will just bob around happily. At 7 ½ months, however, it gets tricky. Your partner should get in knee/chest position. Then her abdomen won't rest on the bed and be uncomfortable. She can also stand up, leaning over the back of a sofa, rear entry, vaginal sex. Soon she will start going to the doctor once a week. Ask the doctor then if it is still safe. Some doctors say go for it, right to the end and other say no, not after eight months pregnant. It might trigger premature labour.
Q. I have been trying out new positions with my partner; he is wider than I am so my legs stretch around him during intercourse. I have been experiencing some burning around my anus when urinating and small drops of blood on the toilet paper. As well, my pubic bone near my clitoris has become chaffed and sex hurts. Yikes, what should I do?
A. With intercourse, in the Missionary position, the female's legs really have to flop wide open. They usually go around his waist and up on his waist. Have you tried Missionary position but with your legs up on his shoulders? This would take the stress off your hips and would elevate your hips. This would change the angle of insertion and avoid chaffing on your pubic bone.
How about "Doggie Style" intercourse, with you kneeling on all fours, and he would have vaginal intercourse from behind. That might be easier on you.
You say you have burning around your anus, and bleeding when you urinate. The anus is the rectum, so is the bleeding coming from your rectum, I would have difficulty explaining the "burning." Could it be hemorrhoids or intestinal worms (unusual in adults), both of which cause itching, not burning.
If the blood is coming from your urethra when you urinate, then you could have cystitis, a bladder infection. That would explain the burning sensation too.
Make an appointment with your family doctor, and do take a sterile mid stream urine sample for them to check for bladder infections. If positive, the doctor would prescribe oral antibiotics for you to take. Do take them all or the symptoms will go but you still have the infection. And practice SAFER SEX, (condom) till pronounced cured.
Sex resulting in YIKES is not fun.
