If sex is painful, especially to the point where you are developing a conscious aversion to it, you may want to stop doing it. You really really really do not want to develop a physical fear response to sex, because that will only make the problem worse. Basically, that means not doing things that are painful.
I recommend that you get checked for yeast though. Stinging pain sounds a lot like yeast, and I know from personal experience that those treatments don't always work. They can definitely just knock the yeast down to the point where you still have painful sex, but don't have other symptoms. I'd check into this possibility before you do anything else, personally. I can't tell from your post whether this has ALWAYS been a problem. If so, it seems less likely that its yeast, but perhaps still possible.
