Painful Sex!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice. (Hopefully this is in the correct group, I apologize if not.)

So, for the past few months I’ve noticed sex in general is much more painful, and less enjoyable. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for five and a half years now, and we have done it many times. The pain just happened within the last year, and it isn’t every time we have sex, but honestly I don’t even want to do it due to the fact I may deal with pain.

It’s hard to explain, so if you’re reading please bare with me. It’s more of a deep pain when he thrusts. Kinda like he’s hitting something. Last night for instance, it had been a couple days since we had done anything and immediately I felt intense pain. I asked him to not thrust as hard, and there was still an intense pain. We tried switching positions, and that was no help.

I use to enjoy sex, but my sex drive is now almost nonexistent, and it is causing a slight issue in our relationship, which I don’t want!

I have googled, and I just wanted some insight from others. I have an appointment with my gynecologist next week regarding other issues, so I will be bringing this up, like the other countless times, but again, some insight would be great!

Also, this post may be stupid to some, but please be kind, thank you!🙂
