all but the most basic positions HURT :(
Does anyone else have this problem? Or had it in the past?
My husband has been my only sex partner. We've been married a year and started having sex about six months before that.
Everything beyond the most basic positions is very painful for me. I'm good with missionary, me on top, and sitting on his lap, but that's about it. Any kind of doggie-style type position where he's behind me, or any position where he comes in at an angle, is too painful for me. The pain is mostly in the sides and the opening of my vagina, so I don't think it's an issue of the penetration being too deep.
I've always been really turned on by the thought of doggie-style sex,so the fact that it's actually awful in practice is disappointing.
Has this been anyone else's experience? Is this just something where I need to "play through the pain" and eventually it will get better? Or are there others out there who have positions that just don't work for them and it's not something they can change?
TIA 
PS... it's definitely not a question of not enough lube.
Re: all but the most basic positions HURT :(
WOW someone else has this problem too. It's so hard to explain to people who don't have this. I have changed gynos 3 times and been a total of 10 times for my problem, no solution! REALLY SUCKS. It seemed like I never had this problem before, then I tried the Nuva Ring, wow big mistake!!!!
Ever since then, I can not handle sex most times, I mean horrible pain, in tears at times. It's not all the time, it used to be but it has slacked off. I can not do anything besides the most basic (1) position without the pain.
My doctor told me I may not have lining around my bladder, but I did everything she said to do and still had the pain. A few months ago an article in Redbook discussed this problem, one solution was it may be a mental problem, maybe so but I WANT SEX! lol sorry I am going on and on.
Try to stop drinking soft drinks and make sure you use lube. Let me know if you find anything else out about this problem.
