YOU HAVE ‘THE MOMENT’
No, not an orgasm, but that moment — seconds or minutes after sex begins — when you just
somehow know how the rest of
the encounter is going to play out
for you, good, bad or otherwise.
“When I mention it to women,
they say, ‘How did you know?’”
said Kimberly Resnick Anderson,
director of the Summa Center for
Sexual Health in Ohio.
When it comes to sex, women
often start in a state of “sexual neutrality,” she explained. “Sometimes,
you start engaging in sexual activity and right away, you think, ‘This
is going to work.’” Other times, you

usually from G-spot stimulation,
which can lead to female ejaculation. Ejaculate comes out of the
urethra and is clear and odorless.”

— and not atypical — for women to
pee and orgasm at the same time.

particularly after giving birth. It’s
also easy to confuse the feeling of
an impending orgasm with the urge
to pee. “Women who do not experience urinary incontinence at other
times, but feel the urge to pee when
approaching orgasm, may be getting
confusing messages from very sensitive parts of their bodies,” Go Ask
Alice explains. If fears about going
to the bathroom during sex are going to hold you back in any way,
Levine recommends simply going
before you get started.
YOU SCREAM
Sure, there’s often a performance
aspect to screaming during sex. A
