Wedding-night sex used to be a big deal for virgin newlyweds, but it’s still as important as ever even though “virgin” doesn’t usually apply in modern relationships, according to a report Thursday by an author and “sexologist.”
“Wedding night sex is emotionally heightened,” said Claudia Six. “People have been congratulating you all day and your heart is full. At last, you are finally husband and wife but sometimes your high expectations will be met by sudden resentment.”
Wedding-night sex in Los Angeles and around the nation “still carries with it expectations for once-in-a-lifetime intimacy.”
And along with those expectations is the “very real possibility of major disappointment—particularly for couples who have drunk too much, slept too little and traveled great distances.”
The author of “Erotic Integrity: How to Be True to Yourself Sexually” who created the “Explore Your Erotic Integrity” online program, recommended five tips for eager lovers:
- Discuss wedding night expectations in advance.
- Write and privately share romantic sexual wedding vows with each other.
- Drink plenty of water on the big day.
- Wear lingerie only if it makes you feel sexy. If a bride feels sexier wearing a tank top and G-string or boxer shorts than fancy lingerie that’s what she should wear.
- Scatter rose petals around the bed for added romance.
According to a Six, she has a doctorate in clinical sexology and “has helped thousands of individuals and couples with relationship and sexual challenges during her 25 years of practice.”
