Q: How Can I Make Sex Less Painful The First Time?

Q: Is it possible to get pregnant the first time?

Oh Yes! It’s possible to be pregnant the very first time you have sex if you are not protected and your partner ejaculates or ‘cums’ directly inside your vagina or even on top of it.

You can talk to your healthcare provider about protection options.

Q: Is the size of my penis normal?

A lot of guys stress about the size of their penis, but there isn't a normal size for any particular age. The average adult erect (hard) penis is between five and seven inches long.

Q: Are there drugs that can make you last longer and be more virile?

There are pills, creams and drugs that are said to help with lasting longer during sex. Most of these do not work and are likely a waste of your money. If you think you might need help, do talk to a healthcare provider before you start so he/she can help you understand the side effects and decide if the drugs are right for you or not.

Your mind is your most effective ally during sex. Even your sexual organs respond to the stimulation or messages from your mind. So if you can train your mind to hold down the excitement when you are close to cumming, then you already hold the secret to lasting longer.
