Pain during intercourse can stem from medical conditions (vaginismus, endometriosis), lack of arousal, or physical tension—but adjusting positions, pacing, and mindset can transform your experience. australianescorts.au (AE) shares Sydney-tested strategies to prioritize comfort, connection, and confidence.
**1. Spooning (Side-by-Side)
-
Why It Works: Shallow penetration, control over depth, and relaxed pelvic alignment.
-
Sydney Hack: Use Aesop’s Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm (from David Jones) for gentle massage between thighs to ease tension.
-
Pro Tip: Place a Bamboo Body Pillow (available at Adairs) behind the receiver’s back for support.
**2. Modified Missionary (With Pillow Support)
-
Why It Works: Elevating the hips with a pillow or wedge reduces pressure on sensitive areas.
-
Local Tool: The Liberator Wedge (from Passiontree, Surry Hills) lifts the pelvis at a 30° angle for optimal comfort.
-
Aftercare: Apply Moogoo Soothing MSM Cream (Chemist Warehouse) post-sex if external irritation occurs.
**3. Woman/Partner on Top
-
Why It Works: The receptive partner controls depth, angle, and rhythm.
-
Sydney Prep: Attend Jean Hailes Women’s Health (Newtown) workshops on pelvic floor relaxation techniques.
-
Lube Pick: Sliquid Sassy (thick, pH-balanced) from Passiontree reduces friction.
**4. Seated/Edge-of-Bed
-
Why It Works: Sitting positions allow shallow penetration and stress-free weight distribution.
-
Sydney Twist: Try this on the edge of Bondi Icebergs’ infinity pool cabana (privately booked) with Wet Lubricant (waterproof formula).
-
Prop: Yoga Paws gripper mat (Lululemon) prevents slipping.
**5. Scissors (Side-lying)
-
Why It Works: Legs remain uncrossed but parallel, minimizing penetration depth.
-
Sydney Aid: Warm up with KegelExerciser apps (developed by Sydney pelvic health physios) to relax muscles.
**6. Yab-Yum (Tantric Sitting)
-
Why It Works: Upright, face-to-face intimacy emphasizes emotional connection over penetration.
-
Local Class: Bondi Meditation Centre teaches Tantric Breathing to sync movement with relaxation.
-
Add-Ons: Foria Awaken CBD Lube (available at Alternaleaf Clinic, CBD) for arousal and pain relief.
**7. Non-Penetrative Alternatives
-
Focus on Clitoral/External Play:
-
Experiment with the Womanizer Premium clitoral stimulator (Passiontree) or mutual masturbation.
-
Sydney Sanctuary: Book a BODYVIP massage in Barangaroo to explore sensual touch without penetration.
