Normal first intercourse reactions

After having intercourse or sex for the first time, a person may experience a range of physical or emotional reactions. Common physical reactions vary, too, and can include soreness, numbness, pleasure, orgasm, no orgasm, lubrication, no lubrication, irritation, urinary tract infection (UTI) [2], vaginal infection, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) [3], with or without symptoms [4]. Common emotional reactions can include pride, guilt, happiness, relief, and disappointment, for starters. Without knowing more about your specific experience, it's difficult to say if your reactions were within the ?normal? range of physical or emotional responses. It?s likely safe to say that everyone has a unique response to their first time, so even describing exactly might be ?normal? is a challenge. However, if you?re concerned with physical symptoms (or emotional reactions), it really may be best to visit a health care provider ? whether it's a gynecologist or primary care provider is up to you.
