Why does sex hurt sometimes?
Pain during sex is a reality for many people, but it doesn't have to be. There are solutions to identify and treat the underlying causes, and improve your comfort and pleasure. Here are some tips to better understand this phenomenon and remedy it.
1. An uncomfortable or poorly adapted position
Some positions may put pressure on sensitive areas or may not be suitable for your body type. If a position is causing you pain, it is important to talk to your partner and try different alternatives.
To maximize comfort, positioning cushions like the Liberator range are a great solution. They support your body and allow you to adjust the angle to reduce uncomfortable tension or friction.
2. Irritation or poor lubrication
Vaginal dryness or irritation due to friction can turn an intimate moment into a real torture. To prevent or soothe these discomforts:
- Lubricants: A good lubricant can make all the difference. At Oui Boutique, we offer a selection of natural lubricants that respect your body. Honey lubricant is the most hydrating water-based lubricant in our selection, its texture is the one that comes closest to that of the natural lubrication of the vagina
Sutil Rich lubricant is ideal for anal sex because it promotes dilation of the anus.
- Vulvovaginal Balm: Peach and Cream's anti-irritation balm is designed to soothe sensitive areas and promote regeneration. It is a perfect option for soothing after intercourse or in case of chronic irritation.
3. Medical causes: vaginismus or dyspareunia
Persistent pain may be related to specific medical conditions such as:
- Vaginismus, an involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles, often linked to apprehension or trauma.
- Dyspareunia, which includes all genital pain during or after sexual intercourse.
In these cases, consulting a specialist in perineal physiotherapy can be an excellent idea. These experts can guide you to release muscle tension and regain comfort in your intimate areas.
Talk about it and look for solutions:
It is important not to ignore pain during sex. It can affect your well-being, your self-esteem and even your relationship. Dare to talk about it with your partner, and do not hesitate to consult a health professional.
The book Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski is also a great tool to demystify the taboos surrounding discomfort during intercourse.
