    Pain During Sex

    My boyfriend and I have just started having sex and we have been encountering a problem; he is quite large and thick and I have a very tight vagina. I have been having some pain when he is entering me for the most part the pain goes away once he is in but I still have some pain. We have started to use lube and do more foreplay but it does not always 100% work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    How about different positions? What positions have you tried?

    Also, how long have you been having sex? For some it can take a little bit to actually be comfortable. Give it time and patience, communication and experimentation, see where it goes.

      We have tried several positions but get the same result. I have had sex before with previous boyfriends, but never had this issue.

        Assuming that none of your previous boyfriends have been as big as your current? Was it a while between sexual partners?

            You may just need time to get used to it. When I was younger, I always needed a few weeks to get used to a new partner and also if there had been a few weeks between sex.

              More foreplay, a little lube, and maybe a toy to loosen you up?

              Also have him thrust slower until you get used to him.
