Vaginismus

Hi everyone, I struggle with vaginismus. All my previous sexual partners always found me being tight to be a turn on even though it makes sex sore quite often. I am now married and I opened up to my husband, he has been very understanding and we've tried extensive foreplay and lube to help but it doesn't always help. My first sexual experience was not consensual and my doctor has mentioned that psychological factors can be a cause but that was 5 years ago.

I just needed to vent, thank you for reading this much.

consider seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist

I’m sorry. I was never diagnosed with this but I feel I did have this. Sex was always very painful for me (even when I was relaxed and in the mood). My husband has even told me sometimes it even felt a little too tight on him. What did fix this for me was having a baby (vaginal birth). Now sex doesn’t hurt anymore and feels better than ever. It does make sense it could be partially a mental thing but I do think it probably is mostly just how it is too. But definitely worth a try if you’re open to that

I agree with your doctor on this. Mental blocks are very real. Unfortunately even when we think we are over the trama our bodies tell us other wise. I highly recommend speaking with a therapist to help you get past the mental block that you have.
