Do people really do this?

I've long puzzled over descriptions of intercourse where both parties are moving in rhythm. In my experience, if both parties move face to face, then you have bumping pubic bones in the one direction, and risking coming apart in the other (more and more of a risk as time marches on.)

Do people really move together during intercourse? How does it work?

Or is this just a conventional flourish in descriptions of hot sex?

Husband and I sometimes did. If you get it just right, it can be great - moving apart, then pushing together again. But if you get just a little out of sync, it doesn't work well. You need both the movements and the tempo to match.

Sounds like you have a good excuse to do your own 'research' :)
 
My sex scenes tend to be less "bodies moving in harmony" and more "sweaty thighs slapping together, punctuated by grunts and gasps and the occasional curse as one of the partners cramps up".
Well, well, look at Mr. Realism here. Lemmie guess, next thing you’ll say will be something like “she didn’t come the moment his cock entered her,” or maybe even that said cock was measured in (gasp!) single digits?!

You mean all men don't have a penis that's 14 inches long and too thick to wrap a hand around? That's a relief, I thought I was really, REALLY lacking. Turns out, just a little lacking! :p

I've probably used that description. To me, it doesn't describe a specific kind of motion that you seem to have in mind. It only says that the partners' movements are somehow rhythmic and complimentary. The movement could be in their heads, arms, legs, hips, etc, etc.
 
I think it might depend on the position? To me, if your characters are in missionary there usually isn't much movement on the receiver's end so less of an opportunity to describe what they're doing as rhythmic. However, doggy-style and any sort of variation on it where the receiver has more freedom of movement can definitely have a rhythm that the characters can fall into. Cowgirl might also work if the penetrating partner is seated in such a way that they are able to provide ample thrusting motions.

14 inches is indeed a little excessive. When it comes to dicks, it is generally acknowledged that Subway sandwiches provide a good reference point. In other words, a footlong is just enough!

People often try.

Sometimes they get it right - a mutual matching motion which doesn't crush their pubic bones.

It's quite a thrill when it happens.
 
Perhaps I'm odd man out or just married too long, but I'm used to a rhythm. It gets awkward when the rhythm gets out of sync and you have to readjust.
 
They can move relative to the bed but hold each other tight enough that there isn't movement relative to each other beyond the angle of the cock inside.

It can happen as is sometimes described, but I think it takes a conscious effort on the part of the woman rather than being an automatic response. To me, having her moving around is a bit disconcerting because of the two results you mention. I"d much rather she just enjoy.

At the point at which she begins to orgasm though, things can change a lot. In my experience, it's not a matching of rhythms. It's her body reacting to the orgasm and depending upon the position can range from one continuous thrust into my strokes to her beginning to shake because she can't really control what she's doing. There can also be some unconscious rapid rocking of her hips. One theory for this automatic response during her orgasm is that it's an instinctive movement that dips the cervix into the semen increasing the probability of conception.

In other words, there are certainly women who like being a more active participant, but I think for the most part all the mutual plugging and chugging is more male fantasy than anything else and is used to imply that the woman is so turned on she can't do anything else.

By the subway standard, I'm sadly still lacking! :p
 
I think a fair amount of poetic license is to be expected in writing sex scenes. Depending on what you're trying to get out of a scene you can dispense with awkwardness, discomfort, partners not being on the same page. As noted by others you can inflate the size of certain body parts. Orgasms can be transcendent otherworldly experiences. And they can come in as much quantity and frequency as you want. Such is the power of the pen.

That said, though, yeah: in my experience people move during sex. From this thread I'm wondering if I've just been very fortunate in my partners...
 
When you've got the Subway/12-incher to work with, you're less likely to pull out accidentally, so the rhythm method works better.

I speak from experience, of course.
 
In my experience, cowgirl is the only time where moving in rhythm for more than a beat or two actually works and doesn't result in him just pinning me down and having his way with me.

With Centaurs it's more a case of balance.😉

I'm sure there are many who have never done this and rely on one partner or the other to do the work. My wife and I have done it that way many times. Bumping pubic bones? I can't see that. Coming apart is the only risk I have encountered. And when that happens, depending on the excitement and activity of the situation a guy can jam into a leg or other body part (or something like the mattress or floor) that is solid and can do damage to himself, like bend his tool in ways it wasn't meant to bend OR end up in an unintended orifice, one the female partner isn't expecting and at that moment doesn't want. One of the best ways to soft boil a hardon is getting smacked in the middle of things because it ain't where it is supposed to be. But that can happen even if only one partner is doing the work. Not that I know ANYTHING about such actions and circumstances, you understand. :rolleyes:

I will say when it works it's fabulous. The best is her in a cowgirl rotating her hips while I thrust. Does it take a little work? A little concentration? A little coordination? Yep. Is it worth it? For us when it works, OH HELL YES!!!
