Sex is an essential part of a healthy adult relationship. The quality of sex can often make or break a new relationship. Often times that is the case with awkward sex. However, sometimes couples survive those awkward moments and come out stronger for it. If you have experienced any of these moments- then you know just how awkward sex can get, and if you are still with the person you experienced it with then chances are you guys are going to make it through anything.

A rose by any other name

Calling out the wrong name during sex. There really isn’t any way to come back from this one and save the moment. However, if you two are able to work things out and restore the trust, then you’re probably in it for better or worse. Keep in mind, when starting a new relationship old wounds may not have completely healed. Cutting them some slack and giving the benefit of the doubt might be worth it.

Whiskey dick

Being unable to perform. Unless you’ve been drinking, being unable to get it up will absolutely end that round of sex. If it becomes a repeat issue there may be some hurt feelings and insecurities that develop. Sticking with each other through it and working it out is a sign of a strong relationship.

Patients is a virtue

Premature ejaculation can be awkward, however you still have other options to get the job done for your partner. However when the problem is no ejaculation, awkward can quickly become awful. If you have been going at it for hours and pulled out every trick in your bag feelings of inadequacy can rear their ugly head. Patience is a virtue, so stick with it, or at least agree to move on and try again after a break. A moment or so to clear your heads, or just come back at another day may be all you need.

No matter how good you may be in bed, odds are you are going to run up against an awkward moment or two like these. Sometimes it’s you and sometimes it’s them. If you both have the sense of humor, patience, and or fortitude to get through it, odds are the relationship is a keeper.
