I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain with something that should feel pleasurable. It makes sense that you would not be able to have an orgasm if sex is painful, so let's work on eliminating the pain, and finding the cause of pain first.

Can you tell me:
- What specifically is painful? How would you describe the pain? Is the pain inside your vagina, or on the outside (vulva)?
- How old are you?
- Did you have any trauma that happened to your genital area?

When sex is painful, that is an indicator of something--either not enough natural lubrication inside your vagina, a sexually transmitted infection (STI/STD), rough sex or unwanted sex, or another condition.

Do you have a OB/GYN that you can make an appointment with? He/she will need to know specifically what symptoms you have: where it hurts, how you would describe the pain, how long the pain has been occurring, etc.
