My experience with sex (of any kind) with partners has been that:

It's been totally awesome for me, every single time.
It's been pretty good.
It's been just okay or kind of whatever.
It's been pretty underwhelming or not-so-great.
It's been totally awful for me, every single time.
It's been a mixed bag: awesome sometimes, good others, and blah or even bad sometimes.
I haven't ever engaged in any kind of sexual activity with a partner.

We're asking about consensual sex!
Just an FYI: not asking about assault or abuse here.
We're talking about partnered sex (not rape, not abuse), meaning sex when everyone involved is consenting and willingly engaging in sex together.

I didn't feel like any one of the options fit my experience.
It would be a lie to say that it was awesome every time, but my overall experience has been quite positive. I can't think of a time when it was *bad*.
It was before I worked on the abuse
The consentual intimacy was good, every time. But this was before I finally admitted that I had been sexually abused and still had all those memories repressed. Now, I can't see sex ever being enjoyable, let alone not painful.
Completely one-sided
It's been great for my partner pretty much every time, but I just don't get much enjoyment out of it.
