Hi, I’m 38 years old and I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask,
I have been married for 2 years. My concern is that my husband and I have not been able to have vaginal sex. Whenever we try, I feel severe pain and a burning sensation, which makes it very difficult to continue.
I have already consulted a specialist and undergone some tests, but I was told that everything appears normal.
In the beginning of our marriage, we avoided vaginal intercourse because of the pain and instead had anal sex, which was manageable for me. However, I often avoided situations that might lead to vaginal penetration because I was afraid of the pain.
We have tried different methods, but I still feel scared and tense whenever my husband attempts penetration. Recently, I’ve noticed that my husband’s interest in sex has decreased, and he is also experiencing difficulty maintaining an erection. I feel guilty because he has been patient with me, and I worry that this situation is affecting him.
I would really appreciate any advice or guidance, especially from anyone who may have experienced something similar.
