Squeamish about penetration - anyone else?

First time ever posting in the sex topic but I’ve started to feel like I’m a freak. I know there’s no such thing as ‘normal’ but I’ve spoken about this with my friends and based on what I generally see spoken about regarding sex etc this is quite unusual.
I’m fine with PIV sex but if I think about it too long I get very squeamish and it makes me feel strange. It doesn’t hurt or feel uncomfortable and once I’m into it I enjoy it, but the initial thought makes me feel really odd. My partner and I both quite enjoy anal and tend to do that more...I feel as though this is definitely unusual.
I also have a real thing about fingering. I don’t mind very shallow finger penetration but the idea of putting something deep inside me that’s not a penis (lol) makes me want to pass out - fingers, a dildo, a tampon...I tried tampons in the past and felt so ill I had to lie down haha. I see women talking about G-spot orgasms etc and I have to stop reading - I really don’t think this is normal at all and it’s developing into a full blown phobia.
It sounds ridiculous but it’s even got to the point I worry about having a baby - not for the actual giving birth but because of the internal exams! I’ve had one smear test in my life (I’m 29) and it was over quickly, really not too bad but I’m due another one next year and I already feel sick about it. I know smear tests aren’t meant to be pleasant and a lot of people feel that way so I guess I’m really asking is does anybody feel/has anyone ever felt this way about sexual penetration? Very worried that eventually it’ll affect me so much I can’t have sex at all.

As to smear tests [only] please do not ignore them. When the appointment is made please write a letter to the practice saying that you are worried and making sure that the letter goes on your file and that the practicioner [sp?] has read the letter before starting the process

Hi I would never ignore a smear test - I’ve only ever had one and am due another next year which I’ll definitely have

I think its perfectly ok to feel that protective of such an important bit of your body.

You don't have to have internal exams when you're having a baby. I didn't.

You need to overcome your fears medically for obvious reasons. As for sexually, no woman should be penetrated until she is ready to be penetrated and she should not let any person penetrate her until she is totally ready.
If the other person cannot be bothered to arouse her to the stage that she wants penetrating then she should either educate them or get rid of them.

I had vaginismus when i was younger. You sound a bit like me. I couldn't insert anything in there and couldn't have PIV sex. A lot of motivation and a psychosexual counsellor helped me and i went on to have children which I thought I never would. It was 24 years ago when I first got help. So now i am still not perfect - totally fine with penis or dildo inside me but very squeamish about fingers and struggle with smear tests. I know that is still not normal but I am happy with where I am. If it is bothering you Perhaps a psychosexual counsellor could help you.

PIV isn't be all and end all. You say enjoy anal as do i with DH. focus on that and enjoy the sensation? Maybe reserve PIV for when wanting to conceive and simply make anal your norm. It is natural and lovely thing to experience.
