Painful positions

I don't usually like to discuss things like this, but I've dealt with it long enough, and need a little insight. I'm personally turned on by the idea of rear-facing sex positions, but once FI and I get into place and begin to have sex that way, it freakin hurts! Like I'm being punched in my lady parts. It drives me nuts because I want to be able to make love in any position that we feel like and not be screaming at my FI to stop once we've gotten started. I'm thinking it could simply be the way we're angled, like our parts aren't meant to fit together in that direction. Does anyone else have this issue? Got any advice?

Re: Painful positions

  • I have the same issue so I understand. I'll be watching this thread!
  • Do you arch your back or put your belly down towards the bed? If I don't arch my back then it starts to hurt. Try that next time. Also, it could be that he's going in too far and hitting your cervix which can cause pain to some women. So just don't let him go in that far. So try that out next time and see if it helps!

  • My FI and I have had the same problem. I've found that if I arch my back it doesn't hurt either. Also, keeping your legs tightly together allows you to control how far he can go in. One position we are fond of is him behind me and I hold myself up against the wall, this can be controlled by your legs as well.

    One other position I can suggest is you lying flat on the bed and him almost lying on top of you from behind. That one keeps him from going in as far and keeps it from hurting. GL!

    DH and I do this position quite a bit and it works really well

  • I have it too- I wonder if it has anything to do with having a tilted uterus... which I have.

    Not a big fan, but my H loves it... of course.

  • For many women it depends on the time of month you do it. When you are closer to ovulation it might not be as bad compared to when your cervix is really low during your period or before ovulation. I usually hate this position when my cervix is low because DH "bumps" it and it is NOT a turn-on.
  • well you can go get checked out to see if you may have a tilted uterus, but maybe you should try to arch your back or even try to keep your knee's together so it wont allow him to go in so deep.
  • Dang!  My DH would automatically go if I could lift my legs over my head! I'm tiny, and pretty flexible, but my husband on the other hand is considerably larger than I am-and it's often uncomfy when we have sex because he's too gifted-what a problem, huh? He likes it from the back as well, but as already mentioned, I feel like my insides are being jabbed. I haven't tried arching my back, but I highly doubt that would work for me. At times I attempt to lay flat on my stomach, but to put it simply, any variation like that just feels weird. I don't have much experience with sex, so maybe I just need to get used to the feeling (of it going in from the back-not the actual jabbing haha)?
