text: my girlfriend wants to know why it hurts when she is on top while we make love? when me and my girlfriend make love i usually have to be on top because she says it hurts when she is. she wants to be on top but she says that she feels a sharp pain around her hip area to me it kinda feels like im pushing up against the back of her thats the only thing that i think might be involved in her pain. what can we do? is there anything we can do? she is able to get a deeper penetration, the reason it hurts is your penis is hitting her cervix which can be sensative.
