frustrated by painful penetration
I (24F) and my girl (24F) recently got together over the past month and have been experimenting different ways to have sex. Personally, the thought of penetrative sex is extremely arousing and enticing to me and I want to try it, but I don't know if I'm actually able.
I've had a lot of pain with even inserting a menstrual cup, and once I bought a dildo yet no matter how much lube I used it was nowhere close to even getting inside me. The other day I asked her to finger me and even one finger was slightly uncomfortable.
I have an appointment with a gynecologist this week to see if it's vaginismus or something similar. If it is, I know that there's excercises you can do to treat the problem, but honestly that just makes me wanna cry. Like why do I have to do homework in order to feel pleasure? Should I just give up on my penetration dreams?
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice is appreciated.
