Coefficient of Friction Between Vaginal Wall and Penis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The coefficient of friction between the vaginal wall and the penis is not definitively established due to the variability of factors involved, such as lubrication levels and fluid viscosity. The discussion highlights that while the question may seem unusual, the measurement of this coefficient is complex and likely has not been quantified in scientific literature. Factors like moisture and fluid characteristics significantly influence friction levels, making it challenging to provide a specific value.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles, particularly friction.
  • Knowledge of human anatomy related to sexual health.
  • Familiarity with the concept of viscosity in fluids.
  • Awareness of factors affecting sexual lubrication.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physics of friction and how it applies to biological tissues.
  • Explore studies on human sexual response and lubrication properties.
  • Investigate the role of viscosity in sexual health and comfort.
  • Examine existing literature on measurements of friction in biological contexts.
USEFUL FOR

Sexual health researchers, medical professionals, and individuals interested in the biomechanics of sexual activity will benefit from this discussion.

Does anyone know the coefficient of friction between the vaginal wall and the penis?

Strange question. I guess it depends on a lot of factors. I'm not sure it has been measured.
 
I know it's strange. I know you have to take into account how "wet" everything is at the time, but do you know if you could determine anything else based on the viscosity of the fluids?
 
There are too many factors, so no.
