Q: Sex Is Becoming Painful?!

asked by: deebaby621 on August 10th, 2006

I have been on birth control for almost 1 month. I have noticed that my vagina seems to be tighter .. Therefore making it a little more painful than before when my bf penetrates me. It's also more painful when he fingers me, like I can't relax or something. & i've never experienced being uncomfortable when he penetrates or fingers me. Some women say just before their periods come their vaginas tend to tighten up a bit. Maybe that's the case with me? What's going on? Does my birth control have anything to do with this?

Thanks :)

Birth control pills cause major vaginal dryness in a lot of women. I had this effect on many brands of pill. Not having natural vaginal fluid could make sex painful, especially if you are not using a lube. Try using ky or astroglide, it should help.

Lube

Hun your not using lubrication and you need to. The pill will make your sex drive not what it used to be. Use ky jelly rub in around your vagina & clt before intercourse, also play around a little get more relaxed. Tell him to not finger you until you are nice and wet. If you feel bad about it go to the bathroom because you have sex and use the lub there so he won't know the difference :0

It's crazy cause i've never had this prob before ! Haha - the lube thing won't bother me guess I could do that we've just never needed it before because i've always been naturally lubricated every time we have sex.

I know but the pll chances your body :( the thing is when you use lube you will feel relaxed enjoy it more and create your own lubrication if you worry about it, it will make it worse.
