Yes, the intercourse you see in sex videos and pictures (pornography) is real. Those people are really having sex. Yet, the type of sex you describe - that of the man ejculating outside of the woman's vagina - is not the only way to have sex. When a couple has intercourse (penis inside the vagina) and a man pulls out his penis to ejaculate, it is called the withdrawl method. For some reason, porn videos are really into showing viewers a man ejaculating, and thus often have their actors practice the withdrawl method. This method is also practiced by some couples who choose not to use contraception, since they think that it is an effective way to avoid pregnancy (because the sperm isn't deposited into the vagina). Since many couples know that the withdrawl method is not an effective way to avoid pregnancy, or the spread of STDs, they do not practice it, opting to use condoms and practice safer sex. In having sex for the first time, looking to pornography is one way to figure out what to do and how to do it. Yet you may want to get ahold of materials that are more educational and informative in learning how to have sex for the first time. Your local bookstore is sure to have a couple of books that will explain how to have sex, stimulate your partner during foreplay, different positions, etc... Communication with your partner is key to making your first time special and enjoyable. If she has had sex before, she may be able to take the lead, showing you how she enjoys having sex. If she is still a virgin, you can still find out from her how she envisions sex and what she would like to try. Chances are she'll be like most women and will not want to practice the withdrawl method since this type of sex often leaves the woman unfulfilled and frustrated because intercourse ends so abruptly. The two of you should also talk about contraception in order to avoid unwanted pregnancy and STD's. If anything, do not measure your performance or expectations against the porn videos you see. First time sex for most people, while it can be pleasurable, is usually quick - unlike those porn stars who are all about endurance. Just relax and do what feels natural to you, and I'm sure that you and your girlfriend will have a wonderful, meaningful sexual experience. Yvonne K. Fulbright, MS.Ed.
