Painful sex

[absolute-three.livejournal.com]

First post here. Hello everybody.

I'm 17 and I've had sex with my boyfriend six times over the past two months, and it still hurts me. I know that it's supposed to hurt a few times, and during my one and only pelvic exam the doctor told me I was incredibly tight (we actually had to stop the exam because I was in so much pain - that was a few years ago, though).

I do get aroused enough, and we use lots of lube (we've used both warming and regular). I'm generally really relaxed, as well. It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it did the first time, but it still does hurt a lot, and I feel like after six times it should at least... Almost not feel bad.

The pain is just a burning or stinging feeling, mostly. We were both virgins before having sex, so I'm not sure there's an STD chance (we use condoms anyway).

I guess I'm just trying to find out how normal this is, or if I should be worried that I've got something going on down there.

Also, when I use warming lube it seems to irritate me a lot. Is this a common thing?

EDIT: Also, are you more easily irritated during your period? I had mine when we had sex today... But it was also the first time in two weeks.
