Sex with endometriosis pain can be excruciating and in some cases unbearable. When it comes to sex with endometriosis, comfort and communication are key. Pain levels and sensitivities can vary greatly, so finding positions that reduce pressure on the abdomen or deep penetration is often helpful.

When I’m sex coaching women for sex with endometriosis pain these are some of the positions I recommend they try…

1. Spooning (Side-by-Side)

  • This position minimizes penetration depth and allows for a relaxed, gentle angle. The partner with endometriosis can control the depth of penetration by adjusting their leg position.

2. Missionary with a Pillow

  • Placing a pillow under the hips can help adjust the angle for comfort and reduce pressure on sensitive areas.

3. Cowgirl or Reverse Cowgirl

  • Being on top allows the person with endometriosis to control the depth and rhythm, ensuring they stay within their comfort zone.

4. Doggy Style (Modified)

  • For those who enjoy this position, try a variation with the receiving partner leaning forward on their forearms or flat on the bed to reduce deep penetration.

5. Seated Positions

  • Positions where the receiving partner straddles their partner seated in a chair or bed can help maintain shallow penetration and create intimacy.

Tips for Sex with Endometriosis Pain:

  • Use lubrication: Endometriosis can cause dryness or discomfort; a good lubricant can help ease friction. https://amzn.to/4aibVly 
  • Foreplay: Plenty of foreplay can help with relaxation, a warm bubble bath with some essential oils can be a great start to intimate play https://amzn.to/3PvAkdY
  • Communicate openly: Discuss pain levels and comfort zones with your partner.
  • Take it slow: Gentle movements and exploration can help find what works best.
  • Consider aftercare: A heating pad or relaxation techniques can soothe discomfort post-intimacy.

If pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for tailored advice. I use hypnotherapy to help women manage symptoms and navigate sex with endometriosis pain.
