DIVA's new sex advice column takes on a penetrating issue

Dear Hot Stuff,

I've just started seeing this girl. She's incredible; beautiful, sexy and intelligent. It sounds like a cliché but we just seem to click. Sex is also really good, except for the fact that I'm into penetration and she doesn't seem at ease with the idea at all. Is there anything you could suggest?

Frederica, South Shields



Dear Slippy in South Shields,


Penetration; amazing if you're into it, complicated for both the wannabe-penetrated and the would-be penetrator if there is someone in the duo who isn't. But let's just get one thing clear before we delve any deeper down the rabbit hole of penetration politics; just because someone is a penetration fan does NOT mean they want a man, or they're becoming straight or blah blah. Bollocks. The theoretical ins and outs of penetration are fascinating but have no place in the bedroom, unless in the most literal of senses. What makes us lesbian is not WHAT we want to do, but WHO we want to do it with.

Is the problem that you've asked her to do it and she won't? Or that you would like to try it with her and she's reluctant?

Either way, the first step to be taken is the most basic, that of communication. Right bang in the middle of lurve-making is perhaps not the most subtle moment to ask. How would that pan out? 'Er, I know you're busy down there right this second, but darling, would you very much mind inserting a…' No. Like the very act of penetration itself, it's something that should be built up to, enticed and tickled into being.

If she's never done it before, it's maybe that she's nervous. Reassure her, tell her it's what you'd like, show her how to do it… The describing and the explaining might get her as hot under the collar as actually doing it…

But Slippy, if you're the penetration-protagonist, anxious to flex your finger muscles, you must understand that to someone who's never "been there, done that", just the idea of it can seem a little intimidating. Start slowly, one finger only, and slowly build to more. If strap-ons action is your goal, let softer toys be your stepping stones down the road to fully-fledged penetrative humping. Why not invest in a smaller sexcessory, something slightly less intimating to the uninitiated. A basic penetrative toy such as this might do the trick.

If, going back to my opening statement, the heart of the problem really is to do with the question of emulating heterosexual sex; the Anniix is an innovative new dildo that slides onto two digits, becoming an extension of the hand. Designed by lesbians for lesbians, a more engaging and intimate sexccessory of this nature could well help you and your lady-love along the path to all-out dildo delight.

And Slippy, remember; time, patience and titillation are the key. If she's not into it right now, it doesn't mean that she won't be soon, the idea might just take time to penetrate…
