Relax, there's nothing wrong with you!

This position allows for extremely deep penetration. The pain you are feeling is similar to pain that I feel in this position, and it is caused by the penis hitting the cervix; very painful indeed for most women! I can take - and even enjoy - a certain amount of this pain, but even I have had to tell my boyfriend to back off about an inch once or twice Wink

"Deep thrust dyspareunia" is just a phrase that means that you have pain during sex when there is deep penetration, so it sounds like you certainly do have that.

Your next step would be to talk to your ob-gyn. There are many things that can cause this kind of pain. We can't tell you exactly why it is happening over the internet. Like Eiri said, there is a good chance that it is nothing really, but mention it to your ob-gyn just in case.

Endometriosis is one thing that can cause pain during sex, but there are many others as well. Endometriosis has symptoms other than just pain during sex for many women, but some women have few or no symptoms. You would have to talk to your ob-gyn about it since it isn't something that would show up on your routine pap. Here is a site with more information:
