Sex is hurting!
Ive just got a new sexual partner, and i cannot have sex with him. It is so much pain to do, and i am so confused. Ive been sexually active for a couple of years and cant understand why! Hes not the biggest ive ever had, although is quite wide. But its making me upset and embarassed. I really enjoy sex usually and cant understand why it is so painful now. Can anyone help me???

Well to be honest, you need to. That's the only way you're going to solve this. Sex should not be painful, so there's obviously something going on. We're not doctors here so we really can't advise you beyond making guesses. If your desire to solve this issue is stronger than your fear of what the answer might be, then you will talk with your doctor and find out what may be causing this, and get the right advise/treatment for it. One possibility is that it could be psychological.Comment

I agree - swallow your fear and go to a doctor. If it's an infection, they can treat it.Comment
