Ever wonder if he can tell when you orgasm? Or what to do if he gets way too excited? Cosmo dared to find the answer to your burning questions about guy in bed.

* You don't hold back--and neither will we! Readers regularly bombard us at Cosmo with uncensored letters and E-mails about men, wanting to know about everything from how Soon you can sleep with a guy to tips on making him last longer: So we rounded up the queries that come up again and again and got you the lusty lowdown once and for all.

Can a man feel it when a woman has an orgasm during sex?

When a woman hits her pleasure peak, the walls of her vagina contract, and yes, her partner may he able to feel it. (Andy [*], 25, describes it as a "delicious pumping, squeezing sensation.") But whether he registers the clenches of your climax depends on a few factors. "Orgasm intensity varies, even for one person. The stronger the climax, the more the muscles will contract and the more likely he is to Feel it," explains Laura Berman, Ph.D., coauthor of For Women Only and codirector of the Female Sexual Medicine Center at UCLA. Guys' natural nerve sensitivity may vary too--and condom use can decrease his ability to feel your passion pulses.

When is it too soon to sleep with a guy?

And why can doing it early drive him away?

Plenty of men say first-night nooky is fabulous and wouldn't deter them from pursuing a relationship with the woman who was gung-ho to give it up. But we all know there are lots of less-liberated males out there. "Sometimes it's hard to shake the idea that a woman who'll sleep with you right off the bat probably does so with a lot of guys," admits Kyle, 22. So what, you ask? Dave, 27, explains, "A guy wants to feel that it's his presence that drove you wild--not that you'd have done the same thing with any other guy." Bottom line: As much as we wish there were a guaranteed waiting period after which you could have intercourse with immunity from dumb double standards, each situation is unique. So trust your gut about when to go for it.
