I totally read past any typos. *laughs* I've been excited that people are replying, and it's made me feel a lot better to hear that other people have had similar problems to mine.

I never thought of vaginal excersizes before, and I think someone else posted something about kegels in another entry once. I'm not sure what they are/how they work, but I'll research it. Being able to relax easier will definately be handy. As well as the lube thing. =P Are there any other ways to practice in the meantime?

I'll talk to him about trying on top too. I'm always afraid I'm going to do something wrong if I'm on top and like, break/bend/sprain him or something. But if it worked for you, it sounds helpful. =)

But yeah, I've decided I want a little break in trying. Some recovery time, both physically and emotionally, as I've been kinda beating myself up over it (as you can tell =P). Plus, it's not super important to our relationship (plus, we're both innocently clueless), so I can go without it. =P I'm really glad I posted for advice. I still have lots to learn!

Thanks for your help! =)
