Thread: pain during and after sex

Hello -
I have similar problems. I feel fine down there, then when my husband enters me, it stings at the entrance as if I've been torn... Just like a salty finger touching a cut - just makes you take in a sharp breath. I try more and more lube, it feels better. The longer we go on, it starts to hurt again and add more lube - goes away a bit more. Then afterwards, I always wash with wetwipes or at least plain water, sometimes Summers Eve in the bath.... And no matter what I do, after sex (so for the past 4 mos. or so), I itch and itch like no tomorrow for the next few days. We've gone without sex for going on 2 weeks, the itching goes away after 1 week, no pain... nothing. We have sex again and it starts all over again.
We use condoms, Carragenan lube (water based instead of petroleum based), though the condoms are spermicidally lubricated too - there's nothing odd going on. been using the same stuff for quite a long time. I'm on birth control, but am due for my next gyno in oct. or so - so...

I'm not sure what's going on either. I'm hoping the lambskin condoms do the trick - less tacky or something. Not sure. I try not washing with Sum. Eve half as much, and though it helps some, after sex I still get way itchy and stay that way for a week or so. It's bothersome, and painful for him when I'm in so much pain during sex.
I feel for you! I really do. Cuz I feel the same pains & itches.
