I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.
