Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have sex for months now and it's just impossible! I was a virgin when I met him, we tried to have sex loads of times but my vagina is just too tight. We only went as far as piercing my hymen - I know that for sure because I can insert my finger deep inside me, but a penis is just too big. When I insert my finger in, it feels really really tight, I can barely move it around, and tbh, it doesn't feel good at all. When my boyfriends tries to insert his penis it stings and hurts, it's so so painful, and it just doesn't go in at all. I really don't know what I am doing wrong! We tried different positions, lubricants... I really want to be able to get close with my boyfriend but every time it's just a painful experience and he's been quite put off trying because he's tired of constantly causing me pain. Is there something wrong with me? Please help!!!

Look, that is perfectly normal. You don't have to be ashamed or down because of this. Some girls have a tight vagina and that is perfectly normal. Maybe you were not relaxed totally and maybe the cram caused problems for you to have an intercourse. Maybe it is not, maybe your vagina is just too tight and that is where we see the connection between tight vagina and painful sex. Maybe you have problems with penetrations. Look, I would like to give you one advice - maybe you should start a foreplay at the beginning, just to see what you like and what is good for you.

You don't mention if you're aroused when playing with him or on your own.  If not, that's likely the problem.

If you are fairly wet and this is still occurring you need a gynaecology consult to be sure there's nothing wrong.  Start with your GP and they may refer you to a specialist.

Thanks for the reply Timber - Yeah, whilst trying it on my own I can't say I'm really aroused, it's more of a chore because I just want this to work so badly. With my boyfriend though, there were many occasions when we had amazing foreplay and I was really really into it, but then it was all ruined by the pain and we just couldnt do it. I can't help but feeling guilty for it sometimes, it just makes me feel like a 'special case'

There's no reason to feel guilty. But you should let your doctor know as it can be a sign of a lot of different things, and it's hard to know which with only a history.
