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!!

"Vaginismus is not rare, not by any stretch of the imagination. It's vastly underreported, because many people don't think of a woman having painful sex as a medical problem."

Thank you for bringing that up! I have Vaginismus, though I was unaware of it until a few years ago. Previously I had just believed the doctors when they told me it was "all in my head" (which sure didn't help matters).

emo_princess: Definitely take the advice in this thread... the more you know about your body, the better it is (for you and for your sex life). And I'd agree that a visit to the Gyno is in order. jmkelly put it perfectly: "Not to channel Dear Abby or anything, but if you're old enough to have sex you're old enough to take care of yourself, i.e. by seeing a doctor." As for being freaked out at the prospect of going, well, you're going to have to do it eventually. Better to do it now versus waiting for there to be a problem to prompt you. I would definitely search this community and the web to find out what to expect when you go, it can make it a lot less scary if you're prepared.
