Honeymoon sex is different from other types of sex. Whether you are
virgins or not, it's likely that the sex you have on your honeymoon will
be more passionate and profound. You have sealed your fate together
with your wedding vows, and the love you make will have more meaning
than ever before.

Notice I said "honeymoon" -- not "honeymoon
night." If you're expecting fireworks and multiple orgasms to take place
during the evening directly following your wedding, I advise you to
lower your expectations before you come to bed.
Here's why you
could be setting yourself up for disappointment: The tension and anxiety
leading up to the actual ceremony, the exhaustion that comes from
hosting your friends and family at the event (even the ones you're not
wild about), the weakness that can come from not eating all day (or
drinking a bit too much), and the stress that accompanies travel can
lead to honeymoon sex that fizzles -- or no sex at all on that first
night.
Agree ahead of time to take the pressure off. Lots of couples now
settle in for a wedding after-party (or honeymoon pre-party), where
they hole up in a hotel room with just a few close friends, change into
comfortable clothing, and relive the event while it's still fresh in
everyone's mind.
The Good News About Honeymoon Sex
Once the ink is dry on your marriage license, you’ve got a lifetime ahead of you to practice, starting with the remainder of your honeymoon — and then all the passionate years ahead. One of the reasons most people prefer an easy-going honeymoon is that it gives them the leisure to be intimate and make love without interruption.

If
you've already been lovers before the wedding, you've had time to
explore one another's body and learn the types of touches that please
and excite. On your honeymoon, you may want to enhance the experience by
having sex in a different place (lots of couples believe sex on the
beach is a romantic rite of passage) or packing a few small and portable
sex toys in your suitcase.
