Whenever we proceed for intercourse but i feel fear of pain and resist him doing intercourse. Please help me so that i can remove this tension and keep my husband happy. I don't want to be scared of sex.

I remember comming in here 2 years ago with the same problem. Thank you to the people that takes the time to read every single comment. I post as "Anonymous" when I post about my problem. Some one comment and told me to take therapy. I did and everything change. Now I have a baby and he is almost 2 months. If I did it anyone can. Dont give up!!!! It takes time but is possible.

At some point you'll need to take a leap of faith. Practice healthy sex and use contraceptives. Have fun.

After being married for 4 years and with my husband for 8, I got frustrated with my situation. I visited a reputed gynaecologist who firstly assured me I was not alone. She spoke about a few other cases (anonymity intact) and told me how they were able to have intercourse and children, when they decided to. She also gave me confidence that most of the deliveries were normal.
She examined me (I was very reluctant but she was an angel) and used a thin rimmed examining tool (lets call it a pipette, about a 1.5cms in diameter) told me everything was fine down there and this fear is easily addressable. She also made me insert the apparatus and asked me to slide it a few times so i get comfortable doing it. She explained how the vagina is very elastic and stress and fear can make it contract and cause the pain to increase. The pipettes came in increasing diameters and she put me on the narrowest 2 to start with. I have to consult her to get larger ones She also gave me some lubricants to work with. After using it, and using the techniques to relax i can imagine crossing this horrible phase soon. since my progress, I highly recommend anyone to seek help. Theres no awkwardness to this and we need to move forward with our lives after all.
