When the man is fully aroused, he would penetrate his penis within the vagina. The penis is then moved back and forth, with the impetus for the movement provided by either the male or the female. Sexual climax for the male is reached when he ejaculates his seminal discharge. The woman finds her climax when she is fully aroused. This is felt by a characteristic quivering of her body; however this may not always be observed.

Sexual intercourse is the device by which reproduction takes place. The male ejaculate contains the sperm, which is the male gamete. It unites with the egg cell of the female to form the embryo. However, every sexual intercourse does not lead to a pregnancy. A female can become pregnant only on specific days of her menstrual period.

Another big issue with sexual intercourse is of STDs or sexually transmitted diseases. A host of dangerously contagious diseases are transmitted only through sexual contact. The most prominent among these diseases are syphilis and gonorrhea. There are hundreds of thousands of cases of syphilis and gonorrhea recorded every year, even in the developed countries. One bigger scare than these diseases is that of an AIDS infection. Sexual intercourse is the leading cause of the transmission of AIDS, even leading it to become an epidemic in certain populations of sexually active people.

Unsafe sex is the main reason for the transmission of these diseases. The risk of these can be reduced to a great extent by the correct use of condoms.

However, the greatest advice would be to avoid any kind of illegal sexual contact. All branches of medicine advocate monogamy strongly, i.e. to remain sexually faithful to only one partner. Not only is it healthy, but your sex is the best gift you can give to someone you love. One must not squander it away recklessly.
