27 Things Every Woman Should Know About Sex (Part 2)

Here is the rest ladies.

16. But sometimes “Just do it” really does work.
If you wait to be struck with a spontaneous urge to tear his clothes off, you may be waiting a very long time. But if you simply decide to give it a go, your body (and your desire) will often catch up.

17. Kegels are key.
These exercises strengthen your pubococcygeal (PC) muscles, a.k.a. your pelvic floor muscles, giving you more control during sex and intensifying orgasm, says Minkin. To do them, squeeze as if you’re holding back urine, then release. (For a more detailed how-to, go to redbookmag.com/kegels.)

18. Your birth control method is not till death do us part.
You need to reevaluate your pregnancy-prevention method at least twice in your adult life, says Minkin: when you go from wild woman to a mutually monogamous relationship, and after you have children. Not only does your body change post-baby, but your habits may change, too (making you a less reliable Pill taker, for example).

19. Doggie-style can be fun — really!
It can make you feel a bit raunchy — and that’s a good thing. It just suffers from bad PR. Let’s change the name — like how the marketing people changed prunes to “dried plums.” Hands-free sex? Getting the backstory? Taking the bull by the horns? Heck, call it Loretta, but try it.

20. Pain during intercourse is not normal.
Occasional discomfort may just mean that you’re tense or haven’t had enough foreplay, but if sex hurts often, see your doctor. “It could be as simple as a low-grade urinary tract infection,” says Minkin. Whatever it is, you don’t have to suffer.

21. The way your vagina looks, however, is perfectly normal.
And no, we don’t have to see it to know that.

23. Sex is how he shows love.
It’s an age-old problem: We gals need to feel cozy and loving to want to have sex, and guys need to have sex to access those cozy and loving feelings. “A lot of guys don’t have many outlets for communication, and for them sex is a powerful form of emotional expression,” says Kerner. Remember that the next time he wants to have make-up sex before you’ve really made up — to him, sex is a peace offering and a gift of love, all in one.

24. No matter how badly you want to cuddle and fall asleep, you gotta get up and pee after sex.
Why? So you don’t get a urinary tract infection.

25. He’ll be snoring by the time you return from the bathroom.
The buildup to his ejaculation involves a lot of muscular tension, explains Kerner. When the wave has subsided, he relaxes and sleep-inducing hormones are released. In short, he can’t help it.

26. It’s okay to simply take.
Consider how you feel when you perform a one-way act on your guy — you get a certain pleasure out of that, right? Don’t deny him the same joy.

27. Sex gets better with age.
(Or practice, or time with one partner, or all of the above.) The future is looking bright!
