We are married since 2013 and running our 4 th year now. Whenever my husband touch the hole, i feel very painful followed by fainting and vomiting. But, i myself ask him to do it in the upper side of the vagina and i really getting mood and getting wet. He says he is completely satisfied with the intercourse. But, whenever i am going for a pelvic exam i am under tremendous pressure and when i enter inside the doctor's cabin i am getting blackout and vomiting on seeing the instrument and i recover almost after 1 hour. This happend on 2 occasions with 2 different gynaecologists. I am really expecting to have a baby but i don't know how to overcome ths problem. Please suggest.

Reading your post was like seeing my exact thoughts and issues! You're not alone. I think about it constantly and feel guilty and ashamed everyday. Thank God I have a patient husband who tries to understand as much as possible.

I have been married for 1 year and 4 months. We have been trying to figure out what makes me to back out from sex, but its just I am scared of the pain. One day my husband suggested me to consult a doctor and take her advise. To my bad she scolded me in front of my husband and nurses in the room that I was hurt so badly. Since I am very good at emotional control I did not break out at the movement but the next day when husband left for work I cried my heart out. At this point of time I got a call from my MIL telling BIL wife is pregnant. I know my husband is angry, sad, frustrated but I am helpless. I watched him scold me, curse me, screaming at me but nothing went inside my head, I was thinking how lucky my SIL is,she had a happy sex life now a baby. I am happy for her but as well i am wreaked. It made me feel that I am useless.
I started searching for advised online and came across this page and found that I am not the only one who is suffering from this problem. Reading this page calms me down and try to overcome my fear and is mentally preparing for it. May be soon everything will be alright and I will too have a baby. Thank you to all who took time to give advises and thank you for reading my experience.

Hi , It was same for the me .It took 3 months for me to have sex although I tried it 20 times before I cud finally do it.I used to cry everytime I tried and failed to overcome the fear of penetration.
But one day I mustered the courage and just did it thinking that worst case is pain, nothing else. And it actually did pain a lot even if I was self lubricated and my husband was also slow and easy.It did pain even for the next 3 times as well. But after that it was ecstatic and orgasmic.
It might not even pain for you as it did not pain for many of my friends.So just accept the worst case, in worst case its just gonna pain, thats it and that also for 15 seconds.And worst might even not be the case for you, it might not pain as well.Also u r not imagining the pleasure u will get after u r done with few first timers.

Hello,
After reading many posts here i feel am not the only one afraid of having intercourse for the first time.
Its been a year of my marriage i am still avoiding having intercourse. And because of that have several tensions between my husband and me.
Whenever he tries to do i push him back. With which he gets angry and things get worse between us. Being a girl i really want to have sex but i cant get over the fear of pain. I dnt understand sometimes either i dont want to have with him or he is not able to do it properly and blaming me or its all about my fear that its not happening. Please help me.

Chells.
