‘Warm, comfortable and (usually) wet, but if it is dry it’s very uncomfortable. Pleasure comes in occasional jolts and not a constant sensation of deepening or rhythmic enjoyment.’ Tom, 28 ‘The penis does not feel consumed or surrounded, but functionally positioned like an elevator in its shaft. There is no grating shove or resistance, really, another pre-sex misconception. ‘Thrusting sends a tingling sensation down the penis as the sensitive portions of the tip are stimulated. Men tend to focus on the tip when they masturbate, but during sex there is a lot more going on with the base of the shaft, and it contributes greatly to sexual pleasure. ‘I think a big part of the erotic sensation comes from the pressure applied to the base of the penis. ‘It is however a different sort of pleasure from masturbation and I wondered why for a while. ‘Before I had sex, I expected it would feel wet and noticeably warm, Stifler’s words from American Pie ringing in my teenage ears. ‘It doesn’t feel like I expected it to as a young man. ‘Then different positions give you different sensations, for example from behind can feel really deep and intense, more so than missionary.’ ‘Then when you’re inside the only way to describe it is if you were to squeeze your penis with your hand, like the vagina is gripped to your penis. Especially when the vagina is really tight and wet. ‘Well, the initial feeling when you first go inside is pretty unreal. Everything spent, but too weak to just roll over.’ Harry, 30 ‘After a particularly big release, there’s little can be done above collapsing on top of her, drained and content. ‘Sometimes to heighten my orgasm I may suck her toes towards the end (I have a foot fetish) ‘The intensity of my own release can vary, it can always be satisfying, but the bigger orgasms are obviously better, like a volcano erupting inside you – your whole body feeling every part. ‘She gets wetter and wetter, it becomes more difficult to maintain friction and sometimes it can feel as if the orgasm is running away from you. ‘It’s a bit like the feeling of heat when you open an oven on a cold day. ‘There is always the initial sensation when entering the vagina, a certain warmth, and this tickles the nerve sensations up and down the shaft of the penis. It feels like a warm smooth jam doughnut that you’ve just pierced with your cock.’ Aaron, 36 ‘However in some circumstances it can be a bit like penetrating a keyhole where the inside’s lined with some kind of dry rubber.’ Ron, 42
