What does sex feel like?

Answer

Well, I thought that the best way of answering this question was maybe to ask around ! So here goes.......

Jai says "it blows everything else away!"

Bianca says " after a fantastic session, it feels warm and sweaty and wet and sticky"

Rebecca says "it felt wierd the first time, it felt better as we went along"

Aaron says "I felt a bit nervous at first and couldn't get into it. I didn't know what he wanted me to do. Afterwards though, we talked about things and it turned out that he was feeling like that too!

Far says "I hated it, a guy spiked my drink at a party so I was out of it when he had sex with me. I was frightened about getting pregnant or an STI. I called Family Planning's Healthline for some information about what to do, they were great and gave me some people to talk to."

Gemma says "I'd never had sex with a girl before, but it felt terrific and cuddling up afterwards was really great too."

Abdul says "It wasn't at all like my mates said it would be like. It felt great to be so close to my girl, it was HOT!

So you can see, sex feels different for different people at different times in their lives. Sometimes it can feel like the best thing you've ever done, sometimes it can feel scary and sometimes frightening. People get as much as they can out of sex when they; enjoy it with people they care about, find out as much as they can about how their bodies work, use a reliable contraceptive method and practice safer sex. It can be worth talking to a trusted friend about how sex feels for them. For more info on; relationships, contraception and STIs, check out our website or call Healthline on 1300 658 886.
