  5. I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.
