    Yes. Don’t take it personally. Many things both physical and mental can interfere with sex. Be consent forward and she’s more likely to invite you back to try again.

    Yes, it is very reasonable that something might change.

    I like the tea analogy, just imagine that instead of sex you were just sitting for a cup of tea. If you offered tea, she might be excited and happy about it and consent to it. Once she starts drinking the tea maybe something happens, maybe it hurts her stomach? (Totally possible and happens in sex) maybe she changed her mind by the time the tea was made, maybe it didn’t taste good, or a million other things. The important part is that she can change her mind, and if that happens, sure you might be disappointed that you worked on preparation and got excited about it and maybe have some extra dishes to wash, but would you be mad at her for it? You shouldn’t be, she didn’t do anything wrong, she didn’t attack you personally, she has no obligation to drink the tea you made, and she has every right to change her mind about drinking it.

    Just like tea, you shouldn’t force anyone or coerce them into drinking tea. And if they decide to stop, you definitely shouldn’t force them to finish it.

    Don’t be offended, rejection is not a personal attack, just be polite and respectful and accept her choices.

    There’s a lot of reasons why someone might ask you to stop, and the critical thing is that you do so immediately and check in.

    It can start hurting - maybe you hit a wrong angle, maybe there isn’t enough lube. There can also be triggers associated with sex, psychological aspects where a stray thought, a brief smell or feeling, can make things not fun in the moment. Maybe you are pressing on your partner in a way that starts to feel uncomfortable or cramp. Being penetrated can feel intense and overwhelming, and sometimes it’s possible to slip from fun to not fun out of nowhere.

    Making sure that your partner knows that you will stop if asked is critical to helping them feel safe.

    I’ve had to stop occasionally if there is friction and micro tears happen. In missionary, I am more likely to need a rest and maybe flip to doggy because the face to face is so deep it can sometimes hurt.

    You could just ask why. But stop first, then ask.

        I always have my legs up face to face (that feels so good!) but it seems to shorten the available length inside me, which is great until it isn’t, lol. Doggy is crazy intense with guys with a downward curve but husband doesn’t have that.

          You could lean over the ledge of a sofa or chair, then when he’s inside you you can lift your upper body up. So instead of his penis being angled down, you can angle upward.

          My gf likes it, but it can be a bit difficult to get it in when you start at that angle

    Yes. Each time was due to pain or discomfort.

    I immediately stop pulling mostly out and ask what’s wrong. Either it’s a full stop or needs adjustment.
