Hi Anon,

Welcome to Empowher and thanks for your question. Vaginismus refers to the experience of vaginismus with 'first-time' intercourse attempts. Typically, primary vaginismus will be discovered when a woman attempts to have sex for the very first time. The spouse/partner is unable to achieve penetration and it is like he just bumps into a 'wall' where there should be the opening to the vagina. Entry is impossible or extremely difficult. The PC muscles constrict and tighten the vaginal opening making it uncomfortable.

Hope this help,
Daisy
