    Sex feels like I'm getting stabbed. Why?

    I'm fairly new to the world of sex, only have done it about 5 or 6 times.
    Each time except for one (in which I was drunk) I've just been in unpleasant pain. For the first few moments it feels great, until the guy goes all the way in, then it's plain uncomfortable. It feels like there's a wall at the end of my vagina, and each time he was just jabbing at the wall, like he was trying to force himself through it. Sex was basically only tolerable if he didn't push in all the way (he was 6.5-7 inches) The pain really killed sex for me as a whole.
    Well, a guy I might get with is about 1-2 inches longer, and I'm afraid mid-intercourse I'll have to stop out of pure agony. I don't want this problem to control my sex life! It has decreases my sex drive to the point I'm not even excited to get laid because I know it'll be painful.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Why does this happen? How do you fix it?
    It'd be sooooo much appreciated!

    I have this problem to, I have only been sexually active about 2 years now. I find that being on top doesn't help at all and that I am much more comfortable laying on my back and it doesn't hurt at all. When I am on top it feels like it's jabbing at my spine or at my guts even though I'm in control. Just keep trying to do it in different positions until it isn't painful and if it really bothers you see a doctor

      Perhaps your pain is felt when he hits your cervix. Changing positions could help. Also, don't let him proceed if you're in pain. Tell him it's hurting and he'll change what he's doing.

      You should never bite through pain, so that a man can have pleasure. Just like a man shouldn't have to feel pain. If it isn't good for you, then stop it. Explain it hurts and the two of you can find a solution to the problem that is convenient and pleasurable for both.

          Could be that you have a tilted womb. Years ago, I had that problem, and the doc told me I'd probably have trouble with it from time to time until I had a baby. He gave me some exercises to do that helped when the problem flared. (I did later have a child, and I've not had any trouble with it since that time.)

          I'd recommend a trip to the gynecologist. Whatever the problem is, he/she can help get you some relief.

            My first one wasn't long, but extremely thick. Felt like a post being pushed into me. After it finally got all the way in and I was able to relaxed it felt good. I remember watching and thinking I was getting turned inside out because my lips were clinging to his penis as he withdrew. All of my first eight or ten were very thick. I think that is why my lips stick out so much now; the extreme width seem to make them expand.
