View allI'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?
Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

What kegel exercises will improve your sex life?
Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.
