When I have sex it still hurts really bad..I have no clue if this is going to be an every time thing or not!! I mean I have had sex with my boyfriend about 6 or 7 times now and it doesnt seem to be getting any less painful for me. I was just wondering if maybe this is normal and if others experience this as well??

Also my boyfriend noticed that when he fingered me there was a lil' hump right when he put his finger in like his fingers had to go over a lump to get to the "good stuff". So I have no idea what this would be or if its normal or what?? please help because I am quite scared!!

I was wondering about that--not being in any position to know--I saw "2%" on the website that Google found, and over the next 5-10 minutes began to think, hmm, how many women who find intercourse painful due to vaginismus report it to their doctors (if they even have doctors), and how many report it but still get brushed off with "it's all in your head"? If we assume that only half of those who suffer from it tell their doctors, and half of them get brushed off, the incidence immediately goes up to 8%, and we haven't even considered women without doctors yet.

Thanks for holding off on the rant. Suffice it to say that Western medicine, after a somewhat promising start in the Renaissance, completely lost its grip on both male and female sexuality, to the detriment and even loss of billions of people's lives. Odd that the tradition that came up with smallpox vaccine and penicillin was completely unable to understand or acknowledge sexuality, especially female sexuality, for so long.

Besides which, even one in fifty is AMAZINGLY common for a disease that removes one's ability to participate in an important function.

The actual numbers that the Boston University Center for Sexual Medicine is coming up with are even higher.

Ends up with something like 50% of women having some sort of sexual dysfunction that deserves treatment. Most of them are relatively mild ones, more annoying than crippling. But the crippling ones aren't uncommon, either.
