How is your body supposed to move during sex?
Q. I'm a virgin for now, but that could change really soon. And before I have sex, I really don't know how to do it. I know what it is basically, the penis goes into the vagina, but how is me and the girls body supposed to move. I mean, do I just move my thighs up and down on top of her, do I hold her body to support myself? I was just wondering.

A. if its your first time, i suggest missionary style sex. She's at the bottom and you're on top. If its both person's first time, insert your cock gently into her as you don't want to cause any pain. In the missionary position, the main person moving is the man as he thrusts in and out. The girl spends most of her time laying there and enjoying
