TRY OUR SEARCH!

OK i need some advice or someone to help me out. My boyfriend of nearly two years has been very patient with me but I can see he is starting to get frustrated, which doesnt help the situation. We have been trying to have sex for about 6 months now and it is agonising! I dont use tampons because of the pain either. We started out with him fingering me to try and loosen me up a bit but it was ever painful to get his finger in there, we had to go really really slow and it took a couple of trys but we finally got it in. Although it hurts when he moves it around. So then we moved on to trying to have sex and it just hurts so bad. Its a pain that makes me feel light headed like I could faint and I go all weak. So we have to stop and then it takes a while for the pain to subside and we try it again. Everyone I have talked to about it tells me that i just have to relax and use lots of lube but apparently its not that simple because six months worth or relaxing and a s**tload of tubes of lube have made no difference. I can only get the tip of his penis in without it hurting heaps, although it still hurts a fair bit. He has been so supportive and caring I just want to be able to make love with him and I wish that this problem would go away. Does anyone have any advice or a story or is anyone in a similar situation? Please help.

have you tried having sex in a very warm bath?? warm water soothes and relaxes muscles and helps dull pain. this is why a lot of women have water births. i would try it in a bathtub and if you both cant fit or it doesnt work because you cant use lube then atleast soak in the tub for 10-15min or so. then try with lube. relax and take deep breaths. everytime you feel pain and tense up try to breath through it and relax. another thing with the bath would be to add 3-4 cups of epsome salt to the water and have just enough very warm water to cover your pelvis. this should help make the skin a little more elastic and relaxed. i wouldnt try having sex in a bath with epsome salts just incase salt water would get pushed into your vagina and cause irritation. but just soak in it and then rinse off with warm water and proceed to haveing sex or fingering.

I'm not a woman so this is the best i can give you but its worth a shot.

Let me know if it helps at all. good luck 8)

Sorry for butting in Bio! BUT I suffered from this condition for years so I will just put in my 2 cents OK?

Hi Guest! What I would like you to do is go to your doctor and ask for the following

1. A pap smear - to rule out Vaginitis 2. A Pelvic Internal Vaginal ultrasound - to determine if you have the beginnings of an ovarian cyst - which is VERY common honey so don't panic 3l Also when you are having the ultrasound they need to be looking for signs of endometriosis! The symtpoms you are describing CAN be from mental hangups, but due to the pain and also you not even being able to get a tampon in I am sure it is one of the above 3.

Please let us know how you make out OK? Good luck honey! Also do you have enough natural lubrication - as in do you get at all excited and lubricated through foreplay!? IF not this might be from what I call "Pain Anticipation from the Enemy" What I'm getting at is this! When you have a VERY painful time with having intercourse, your brains main job is to stop you from hurting! So it will see your boyfriend as the enemy and start the ball rolling so that he CANT do what the brain knows he wants to do! And thus will not allow you to become aroused or "Ready" for penetration! Also take a deep look into how you feel about sex - nationality or religious reasons! Your brain is your biggest sex organ and if it feels uncomfortable with the act then you have to overcome that BIG obstacle! Also do you think you are ready for sex?

Hi., i seriously understand how frustrated urs husband would be. But i promise, you dont have to worry for this any more. b'coz, my wife also had this problem and we are having sex very easily now... so, first of all be relax and have hope and faith that you will come outta this problem. It is called vaginismus as somebody here said. and i'm very sure that it is this problem that makes u feel so.. Actually to say, it is first of a psychological problem., you have to feel very relaxed while doing your fingering, and apply any gel that will numb the vaginal area( we use 2% xylocane jelly) check out your local doc for such kinda gel. apply this and try fingering.. slow and steady within weeks you will succeed. and to be honest, i waited for a long time before not knowing the problem, but after that.. it was very very easy. trust me. it is vaginismus.

Hi Guest! That is a EXCELLENT point! But just to clarify this is the last thing to be mentioned after finding out if there is anything wrong! Painful intercourse can be from MANY physical and mental/emotional problems! So she still needs to get a check up to rule out the 3 things and then they can concentrate on the Primary Vaginismus!

OP! As the guest mentioned you could be experiencing Vaginismus! And this is VERY treatable! Depending on where you live you can actually be sent to a Vaginal/Rectal Physio Therapist! BUT lets rule out everythign else first OK?

Thank you everyone for being so nice to me and replying with very helpful information. After researching on the net and reading other peoples storys my first thought was Vaginismus. So i had a talk with my friends and my mother and I have made an appointment at the doctors to make sure I don't have any physical problems. I am really hoping it is just my mental state of mind as i am a very negative person and of course being told by everyone that sex is supposed to hurt the first time makes me think ok this is going to really hurt.. lol. I'll let you know how everything turns out. Hopefully everything will be ok and I will be trying one of those helpful solutions soon. :-D

Thank you!!

Oh I would also like to add that when I am alone, relaxed and aroused I can fit a finger into my vagina. (although i have very small hands) So I am thinking that what Bambi said about my boyfriend being the 'enemy' in my mind is very true. I find it very hard to get aroused when I know that we are going to try sex but if we are just fooling around it is easy.

Hi honey! There is a thing called "Vaginal Dialators" They are tubular wax inserts that go up in sizes from very small to the average size of a mans penis, they can be cooled or warmed and you insert them and then let your body get used to them, each time you get used to one size you move up to the next they are EXCELLENT! A Vaginal Physiotherapist can TOTALLY help you with the pain and getting over the mental block you might have! There are MANY women out there with pains and SO many reasons why so just hang in there and don't beat yourelf up OK? Let me know how you make out! Good luck honey!

Hi Honey! I hope this was with a condom? Also this isn't the most easiest positions for a woman! Some women find it degrading and thus put even more pressure on your emotional and physical self! IF it wasn't protected you will need to get checked for an STI! IF it was then you probably have irritation from the rubbing of the condom against your dry vagina - as you would be in pain and have NO natural lubrication! And NEVER douche OK? As this takes away the natural PH of your vagina and can cause an infection! I would suggest you use a 3 day Yeast infection pack - as you are more inclined to get urinary tract infections and yeast infections when having sex! You might have torn as well, which will cause a bit more pain! So take a warm bath and then use a cold compress ont he area - like a bag of peas! OR you can spritz a pantyliner with water and put it in the freezer and then wear that at night - to help with inflammation! IF you aren't ready, he will just have to wait longer! And sex is about communication and if you feel comfortable with "doggy style" it just odesn't happen! PERIOD! It might be his favorite position, but it sounds like it's DEFINITELY NOT yours! When you decide to go again you need to have lubrication and time! Also really look at how you feel about it! OK?
