New to Sex, It Hurts
Posted: 07-11-05 01:31am

I've recently began having sex with my boyfriend. We were both virgins. It hurt very bad the first time but I didn't bleed until the second time. Every time we have sex it hurts like i'm still a virgin. Is it normal for it to still hurt? I know every woman is different, but is there any way to know when sex will stop being painful? I'm almost discouraged to have sex because I know it's going to hurt and I know won't orgasm because of the pain. We tried using more and more lube and it helps a little but not much. Are there other ways to reduce the pain? Or is this something I just have to wait out?

Responses are very much appreciated.

I remember (way back when) the first two times hurt very much but it felt better the 3rd time. My first guy was very big too. Probably 9+ inches.

I'm still a virgin myself, but obviously it's gonna hurt the first few times, my friends say it hurts until after the first 5-6 times trying it... Why not just first try foreplay to get more lubrication? It would seem easier that if you made him use a smaller dildo or fingers on you to get you more loose, and gradually increase in size to where it fits him

The first time I had sex it only hurt for the first maybe 10 mintues, then after it was fine and never hurt again. It all depends on how relaxed you are when it is happening. If you are nervous you tend to clench up the muscles down there making it tighter for him to get into. Just make sure you relax. Foreplay helps in relaxation as well as getting you lubricated. Some girls say that it hurts less if you have used tampons a lot before losing your virginity as well. Also when you are just starting out, wait a few days to a week before having sex again. That way your vagina can "heal" up for a couple of days. When you have sex too soon after its re-stretching it making it hurt even more.
Hope this helps

I think its perfectly normal. The first about six times I had sex it hurt. Not enough to be crying or anything, but too much pain to orgasm for sure, and it hurt to move around afterwards. But the pain gradually decreased and made it so that it was fun. Don't wait to long before having sex again because then it will be almost like starting out from the beginning again. Hope this helps, steph

Thanks for the replies! I told him I want to do more foreplay next time to see if that helps. We always use a lot of lube but it gets sticky and makes it worse. It's ky, any suggestions as to what lubes are better?

We usually have to wait a week before having sex again because we only get to on the weekends. Like steph8992 said, it's like starting from the beginning again.

I think I might try snownix's dildo idea when we don't have sex, so that when we do, it might not hurt as much.

Thanks again for replying!

I was in a similar situation, we would have sex so infrequently, that when we did get around to it, it just hurt, then, later I got used to the sex, but afterwords I would be so sore! Take a hot back or shower right afterwards to help ease the pain, trim your pubic hairs, that helps,and dont worry! The pain will eventually stop.

It might hurt if your tensing up during sex. And if your discouraged and tense your never gonig to have an orgasm and is always going to hurt! Just lay back relax and enjoy, and experiment with different positons that make it better and more comfortable for you! Girl on top is usually a great
positon works every time! As for lube, ky always makes me itch and gave me an infection down there. My advice just have more foreplay plus its more fun!

It hurt like the first 10 times I had sex! But it gets way better, I promise. Just use lube (waterbased only. I like ky liquid. Works a lot better than the jelly) and relax. Remember to breathe. It's when you get all tense that it really starts to hurt. Also remember... Foreplay! And lots of it! Lol

I think its great that yall were both virgins that doesn't happen much these days.

Sex will get better. You will start to enjoy it. It is painful at first though.

I know its hard to believe, but I had a rocky start at first too, but now I find it extremely pleasurable.

You just gotta relax too. Doesn't matter if you are a virgin or not if you are tense when it goes in its gonna be a lil painful. Just relax and it will start to feel better. Oh yea and foreplay will get you worked up and will also make sex more enjoyable and less painful.

Lots of foreplay! Besides, foreplay is fun!

I don't know; I guess I was just very relaxed with my bf the first time I had sex with him (and he's not tiny, either!). I didn't make any noise, actually... But that's becuase there were 2 clueless people sleeping in the room 0.O heheh xd

i guess I feel a little pain, but just as he's geting inside of me, once that's done it doesn't hurt; and even then the pain isn't that bad. Maybe my tolerance for pain is just really high, or I guess I like it or somehting...
