And is there really a price on the potential shame of bumping into your ex while you don’t look absolutely faboulus? Not really.

Hi, I don’t have an account but I’d still like to comment if I may. I had primary vaginismus, meaning that I didn’t have any dilation on approach of objects & so no penetrative sex until I was 33 years old. The first time I tried a tampon as a teen was a horrible experience which also didn’t help. For the longest time…

I saw a physical therapist for pelvic floor dysfunction. It took a long time (three years). There were lots of ups and downs - and awkward moments. Eventually, I got to a place where I can manage, and I learned a lot about myself in the process. It was worth it. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing! I have seen too many unhelpful doctors over the years for various frustrating ailments, painful intercourse being one of them. I am so happy you found one who actually listened and took you seriously. Unfortunately, when I visited a specialist in pelvic floor dysfunction (seriously, that is all…

Being a guy, I cannot feel your pain, but I am very glad you found a doctor who will LISTEN to you ! Because I’m not familiar with the condition, I looked it up, finding a website for you: Vaginismus.com where I find the following good news:

I had the same reaction when my doctor told me I had narcolepsy. It’s a crappy diagnosis with no cure, but I was sitting there in his office, giggling and thinking “FINALLY!” I’d been called lazy more times than I can remember, and been told that if I just lost weight, I wouldn’t be so tired all the time, and many…

Pelvic floor PT isnt exactly fun but it’s SO worth it! Good luck!

Yeah, I had that for YEARS, it suuuucked. I would cry after every time I had sex, it hurt so much! I always wondered if I would ever be able to orgasm with a guy inside of me :/

I used to be a sex educator (sung to the tune of “This Used to Be My Playground”) and several very close friends have dealt with vaginismus. Some women I know have had luck with dilators, moving from inserting smaller sizes & increasing size slowly, but the process can take a frustratingly long time. Experimenting…

I had it after the birth of my son and it was wretched. The good news is that its totally gone now! I used a set of dilators and exercises from a book called Sexual Healing by Dr Barbara Keesling

The physical therapist changed my life. I went from not being able to put anything even close to in there to being able to do so goddamn much to my vagina, except take out tampons. But I’ll take it - I don’t love using them anyway.

Thanks goodness for that doctor! Depending on your temperament, weed can help with vaginismus. Made a big difference for my friend.

Not for the same reasons, but I felt like I had to comment because I know too well what it feels like when you finally find a doctor who is *actually helpful* for the first time in your life, and I am so happy for you! Not because you have vaginismus, because that sounds awful, but because now you’re on the road to…

Word.

The original Teen Mom cast was brought back for a season called Teen Mom OG (OG being “original girls”).

Reba’s awesome, but what a disappointing medley. There’s no transition. Just very poorly composed.

I’m gonna look into if they have some sort of discount program, that would be really helpful if they did.

Oh my God! The guy who used to live below us would play loud thudding bassy music for 36 hours at a time and it travelled right up to us because there used to be a chimney between the two rooms.

I moved recently and have all new doctors and I don’t really like them because getting in touch with them is a pain. So I’m trying to find new doctors, but that’s taking too long so I’ll probably have to go to one of my current doctors. And the fact that the medicine isn’t working is frustrating because I used to take…

I need advice regarding a noisy neighbor.
