Sex Q&A: How to Make Sex Less Difficult?

Q.

The Nest Q&AMy husband has a curve in his penis, and it makes it difficult for us to have sex comfortably. What should we do?

A.

Rather than looking for a short-term fix, you should seek out the root of his problem. He should ask his doctor to refer him to a urologist for a consultation. In the meantime, it’s best to stop doing positions that bring you discomfort, and use lots of lubrication to help. He may want to try penetrating you from behind very gently so that he’s in control and can angle his penis in a way that won’t be painful to either of you.

My husband's used to be curved. (the direction of his hand that he masturbates with!) It was weird though, whenever we had sex, it would straighten out! It would curve now and then, but every time we had sex, it was back to normal. He said his penis must just lean towards pleasure! It doesn't help your problem though, unfortunately.

This was our problem too! We didn't have intercourse before marriage, so our first couple of months were terrible until we figured out this was the problem. I thought the pain was "normal" and that I just had to deal with it, but it was so bad, we couldn't get through it at all. He would see how much it hurt me and lose his erection, so it was literally impossible. I thought maybe I would have to have surgery on my hymen, but then we realized that the angle of his penis, since it was curved, was causing the pain. Once we realized that and found positions that caused his penis to go in straighter (also holding it firmly to straighten it out-he says it doesn't hurt), sex is amazing and doesn't hurt me at all, and he never has trouble ejaculating. I'm even able to have orgasms through penetration. Good luck!

We didn't have sex before marriage either, but my husband got the guts to tell me about it before we got married because he was afraid it would make me change my mind. Clearly, it had no effect on my love for him ;) "Fixing it" as they say is not only expensive but not really necessary. I've found lots of new and exciting positions that make it better for both of us. It didn't cost us a dime and it was kind of fun to try new things and learn more about each other.

my fiance and i have been together for 2 years he also has a curve toward the left. we found that the only position so far that hasn't hurt me is on top facing him. i tried turning around but that hurt to bad. is there any other positions that you think could help missionary hurts so we just stick to me on top.

My husband has a curve, he just goes in kind of sideways. I like it (more hot spots while he's in :)

If your husband is circumcised tightly, he doesn't have a lot of extra skin on the shaft. When erect, his skin can pull so tightly that it causes it to curve. This is pretty common in circumcised guys. Google "non-surgical foreskin restoration" and do a little research. He doesn't have to "restore" his foreskin completely to fix the problem, but he can use the same manual tugging techniques to stretch and loosen the skin on the shaft so it isn't so tight during an erection and it won't curve anymore. It doesn't cost anything, nobody has to know he's doing it, and you will find the more foreskin he has to "roll" back and forth during penetration and oral sex, the better for both of you!
