...and I don't think it's "all in your head." I've noticed the same thing happens to me if my bf and I go for a couple of weeks without having sex. It's a bit painful and uncomfortable at first but once we do it a few times it actually feels like my vagina "loosens up" somewhat and the discomfort disappears. It's not a lubrication issue because I normally produce lots of it and even though we use additional lube, it still feels a bit uncomfortable. We haven't had sex in two months, so I shudder to think how things will feel when we finally do!
I've been checked out by my gyn and there are no medical reasons for why this happens to me. I don't have any recommendations for how to ease the pain except using lots of lube and having as much sex as possible. Oh, I posted about this before and got quite a few responses from women who've experienced the same thing, so you're not alone! http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/10228188.html
I have the same problem too...
