Men’s Health often discusses sex from a penis owner’s perspective, but understanding sex from a woman’s perspective is crucial for improving sexual experiences with partners who have vaginas.
Does Sex Feel Good for Women?
Sexual experiences vary widely among women. Dr. Celeste Holbrook describes penetrative intercourse as feeling “full,” while clitoral stimulation from oral sex can create a “sensitive fluttering” sensation. Amy Weissfeld likens good sex to “flying on a magic carpet through the universe,” emphasizing a loss of self in the experience and a sense of timelessness where minutes can feel like hours. Katie Schubert adds that penetrative sex can lead to a “full-body high” due to a rush of “feel good” hormones and a feeling of warmth in the pelvic area from increased blood flow.
