Sex is a complicated matter. We all know that. But it's also something we love to talk about - especially when it comes to pleasure! One thing that many people don't realize is that the cervix moves during arousal. This movement changes how penetration feels. Keep reading to learn more.
The cervix is the opening at the bottom of the uterus. It's a little lower than your belly button, but you can't feel it unless you're pregnant. It stays closed most of the time, but opens up to let sperm through when you ovulate. During arousal, however, the cervix can move slightly. How much it moves depends on the person and their body type. Some people may notice no movement at all, while others may find their partner hitting the tip of the cervix during sex.
When the cervix moves forward, it can create a tightening sensation around the vagina. This feeling is often described as "hitting the back wall." Some people enjoy this sensation because it adds pressure and intensity to penetrative sex. Others dislike it because they find it uncomfortable or painful. There's no right answer; everyone experiences things differently.
If the cervix is moved too far forward, it can cause discomfort or even pain. You might hear it referred to as the "deeper" position. If you experience pain in this position, try to move the cervix back into place with gentle pressure from your partner or by changing positions. If you continue to have problems, speak with your doctor about possible solutions.
Some people also like to manually stimulate the cervix during masturbation or sex. The best way to do this is by inserting two fingers into the vagina and curling them upward towards the abdomen. Be careful not to press too hard - you don't want to damage any tissue!
The cervix is an important part of our reproductive system, but its movements are still poorly understood. More research needs to be done to determine exactly how it affects pleasure and arousal. In the meantime, keep talking about sex openly and honestly with your partners. Communication is key to having great sex!
