Hi there,
i just wanted to see if anyone is in the same boat.
I am in a serious monogamous relationship with someone I trust and love, however, there is a serious problem in the sexual dept. When he tries to insert his penis into the opening of my vagina, it is extremely extremely painful. It feels like the vagina is ripping at the opening. He manages to get it in a little but it feels like needles and pins are tearing the skin that he is touching. I just wondered if anyone else has shared this experience.
I went to the dr and he told me that it is called vaginismus, it is a psychological condition which can be cured...?

Yes, trust your doctor...Doesn't have to do with your age or whether or not you're nervous. I work for an ob-gyn office and was actually just reading about a girl who has the same thing as you. I think the doctor told her to try using lube and relaxing. Check with your doc about relaxation techniques. We actually have a physical therapist on staff who specializes in these things and does muscle things for this...Check with your doc, she may have some ideas!
