Medical Coefficient of Friction Between Vaginal Wall and Penis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the coefficient of friction between the vaginal wall and the penis, acknowledging that this is a complex topic influenced by various factors. It is suggested that the coefficient may not have been specifically measured due to the numerous variables involved, such as moisture levels and fluid viscosity. The consensus is that the complexity and variability make it difficult to determine a precise coefficient of friction.

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.
