    Tenderness after Sex

    Hi All. New to this site and lovin it. So I have a quick question. I often get sore down there after sex. It's not a lube problem, I get plenty wet. My guy is "average size" so it's not that either. I am a petite girl who is rather small/tight. We have sex 3-4 times a week and it can get a little intense but nothing over the top. It's not an excruciating pain or something that I feel I must see me Dr about, it's just a little tenderness around the opening and I'm usually ok in about a day or so. When my guy wants to go again too soon and I tell him I'm sore he thinks it's just an excuse like "I have a headache" hahaha. So is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

    Is he using condoms? Are you trimmed? Is he trimmed? Does he do foreplay on you, either manually or orally? Are you allergic? When do you get wet, before and during, or just during? How long is penetrative sex?
    I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

      No condom. No ingrown or prickly hair (I couldve figured That one out hahaha) as stated on original question wetness NOT a problem, duration is just right. 10-15 minutes.

          If you started it recently, it should be ok soon. If it persists see your Dr. You may check with your guy before insertions, his skin should not get rolled and thick before hand, one of you should guide it gently.
