10 Reason Women Cry During S*xual Intercourse (18+)

You’re Triggered
Sometimes s*x can trigger past experiences of abuse. There are obvious elements of power during the s*xual assault since another person physically and emotionally overpowered you and your boundaries. Some people believe that powerplay can be cathartic for s*xual abuse survivors, but it’s very easy to slip into feeling triggered. If you feel like your body is starting to dissociate from your brain, if you have memories of the abuse, or if you start feeling out of control, please stop what you’re doing at the moment. At a later date, think about whether or not these types of s*xual activities feel safe to you.

You’re Overwhelmed
Sometimes we cry because there’s just so much going on in one moment. This can be a good or bad thing. You might feel overwhelmed because you’re pushing yourself to the limits of your boundaries, and you’re starting to feel unsafe or nervous. Or you might feel overwhelmed by love, pleasure, or joy. You might just need a moment to sort out what you’re feeling.
