HTHGS:
Painful Intercourse (Written by Shan&Claude)
Ask Shannon &
Claude,
My boyfriend and I used to
have active sex life. We make love almost everyday. I did not feel any pain when
his penis enter my vagina. Nowadays, he has almost lost interest in sex. We make
love only occasionally. But recently I feel pain when he tries to enter my
vagina (a few centimeters after entrance of the vagina). The pain only last for
a few seconds -- then I do not feel the pain anymore even when he repeatedly
goes in and out of my vagina and changing positions. Is it normal? Is it due to
the fact he has a big penis? Is there a way to reduce / eliminate the short
pain? I don't really think it is due to lack of lubrication. My vagina walls
produce lubrication easily when I get aroused. I am not sure if he has to make
me fully aroused to get a lesser pain when we have intercourse. Hope to get a
reply from you. Thanks Rox
Dear Rox,
Our
first instinct is that a medical professional should check anything that is
repeatedly painful. If it persists
– get it checked out! You may be
a little uncomfortable to speak with someone about it, but it will be worth it
if it turns out to be something. It
may just be that you are not lubricated enough or that his initial thrusts are
too fast or hard, but pain is a message of your body trying to tell you
something. Make sure to figure out
what your body is trying to tell you, okay? Shan & Claude

Painful intercourse (written by Shannon & Claudette MS.Ed.)

I imagine it should be you
that I write to for a quick question about sex…My boyfriend and I have been
sexually active for almost 2 years now, though since we have a long-distance
relationship currently, that doesn’t leave much activity… Either way, the
sex has been fabulous and we have a really great connection, but last time I saw
him, it was suddenly very painful upon entry, but only on the very outer skin,
and the pain could sometimes continue afterwards. I’m curious if all the
medicine I was on at the time had caused me to self-lubricate less, or my skin
was sensitive, or just because I was sick (I caught a flu-like bug right when I
got there) anything else… I will see him again very very soon and I just want
this visit to be a pleasant surprise for the both of us…If there is something
I can do, or if you think it was just the drugs (which I’m off now) I would
love to know. Thank you very much. ~M.E.
Dear ME,
As
we don’t know what medicine you are on it is hard for us to determine if it
may have influenced your sensation or lubrication during intercourse with your
boyfriend. The body changes… You may find that as you age you need
extra lubrication to have intercourse. Maybe you were nervous? Was
anything on your mind? There could be many things that influenced that
situation and your pain. We are sorry that we unable to give you a
specific answer. But, with the limited info we have it is unable to assess
what caused it. But, to go back to one of your original questions yes
it is possible that the drugs/medicine that you were on (or are on) may
influence your ability to lubricate.
Hope that helps Shan & Claude
