Is this normal?

Question

So, I'm a female living with Cerebral Palsy. I didn't really have much sexual contact besides my current long term boyfriend. But there hasn't been any penetration. I experience a burning feeling even with just his fingers and I'm not sure why or what to do, it's really painful and obviously I want to be intimate. But I'm scared because of this pain - what can I do to get past this?

I also think fear of sex itself is very much a thing in my mind given the household I grew up in where it was associated with pain and you couldn't talk about it. Help. What can I do?

I've also been thinking of getting a toy & some lube to work on this. I currently have just  a vibrater.

Answer

If you're having any kind of pain during sexual activity, you should go to a doctor. Accidental bacterial infections are common problems that many women face, and most are easy to treat. Just make sure your boyfriend washes his hands and keeps his fingernails trimmed before you guys get down to business 🙈

Answer

There is no shame in asking the dr or a gyno if your having issues. There are lots of things that could be causing the pain that are very treatable. If your in serious pain you need to tell him though so he understands what's going on with you and maybe have him go to the Drs with you if/when you bring it up to your dr
