Coefficient of Friction Between Vaginal Wall and Penis

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the coefficient of friction between the vaginal wall and the penis, exploring whether it can be quantified and the factors that may influence it. The scope includes considerations of biological and physical properties, as well as the role of lubrication.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the coefficient of friction, suggesting a desire for a specific measurement.
  • Another participant notes that the coefficient likely depends on various factors and expresses uncertainty about whether it has been measured.
  • A third participant acknowledges the influence of lubrication on the coefficient and questions if viscosity of fluids could provide additional insights.
  • A later reply asserts that the multitude of factors makes it impossible to determine a definitive coefficient.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the coefficient of friction is influenced by multiple factors, but there is no consensus on whether it has been measured or can be quantified.

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.
