Sizzle, Fizzle, Ouch! Cracking the Code of Painful Sex

Hello, my naughty heathens! Welcome back for another sexy lesson, this time about bedroom blues. If there’s anything you should know about me, it’s that I’m all for fast and wild rides – but hey, there’s a fine line between thrilling and no-thank-you-ville. But, sometimes, the burning and throbbing down there is the wrong kind of wild, instantly killing the vibe.

Well, honey bunches, Lola is here to spill the beans on what’s behind those pesky pains. Even better, I’ve got some killer tips to dodge them for good. So, buckle up – and let’s get rolling!

Setting Sail: Understanding that Pleasure Is(n’t) Pain

At this point, you’re probably wondering, ‘Lola, what’s all this fuss about, especially when we know you’re all about mixing a bit of ouch with your pleasure?‘ Well, let me lay it down for you: pleasure and pain are a dynamite combo, but only when it’s all in good fun.

Picture this: the intense rush of steamy hair-pulling, slaps that leave cheeky handprints on your body or that delicious soreness you feel as soon as you hit pound-town – that’s where the real thrill lies for me.

But if you get the party started and unexpected pain hits, killing the mood and making you want to crawl into a hole and wither away, we have a problem.

Luckily, my fellow explorers of the naughty seas, there’s a remedy for those, too. But first, let’s dive into what causes these tempests in our innermost oceans to begin with! Don’t worry – I’ll hold your hand through it!

Physical Pain Perils

Since it manifests as physical pain, it’s fair to assume that your discomfort is also caused by physical symptoms. But, plot twist – the mind is just as powerful (think of all the kinky scenarios it dreams up!) and can wreak some havoc all on its own.

No worries, though. We’re about to peel back the layers on both these causes right below.

First-Time Flops

I lost my V-card an eternity ago, but I still remember the sting of that first thrust. Truth be told, I was not nearly the sex guru I am today and I was clueless about the basics that could have turned my ‘Ouch‘ into ‘Oh My!‘ From the myth-shrouded breaking of the hymen to being drier than the Sahara – there are a bunch of reasons your first time might be painful.

Desert Distress

Speaking of deserts – dryness and annoying friction aren’t just first-time woes. Fact is, some vajayjays simply produce less natural lube than others regardless of foreplay – and it’s totally okay! But this can make sex a pain and uncomfy for everyone involved, not just the one on the receiving end.

Say Yeah, Not Yeast

Let’s be honest for a second – yeast infections have crashed the party for most of us at one point or another, no matter how squeaky-clean our habits. These suckers are a breeze to catch and a beast to beat – and, oh, do they sting! If you’re wrestling with one, even a gentle touch can feel like too much and actual penetration? That’s going to have you praying for mercy and not in a good way.

Sting, Throb, Itch

Aside from yeast infections, we also have the displeasure of dealing with STIs. From chlamydia and syphilis to gonorrhea and warts, these nasty conditions are transmitted directly through sexual contact. And if you’ve got one of these, painful intercourse will be a tell-tale sign – not that you should be getting busy if you know you’re infected, just saying!

The Scary Ismus

Alright, my naughties, we also have to touch upon something less talked about but sure important – vaginismus, a big reason behind painful sex.

Sure, it’s true that everyone loves a tight minge – it makes playtime a lot more fun! However, if the vaginal opening is so tight that nothing can pass without serious ouchies, it’s a clear sign that something’s not right. Not a single expert can gauge why this condition appears, but one thing’s clear: it’s a total buzzkill for sex.

Tension Troubles

Got a minute to talk about tension? If sex ed taught us anything, it’s that being relaxed is the key to having a good time. But if you’re all high-strung and nervous, every thrust and touch is going to feel rough – and not in a good way. That’ll, in turn, make your partner anxious too and suddenly, it’s stress city; population: you two.

“Remember this, sugar: the only kind of pain that has any business being in your bedroom is the type you explicitly say ‘yes’ to!”

Turning Pain Into Pleasure

No matter the source of your discomfort, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve got a list of my tried-and-true fixes to share – so hands above the covers and start taking notes!

Take Things Slow

If you are still in firm possession of your V-card, I only have one word for you: FOREPLAY.

This magical but often elusive noun is the key to making things smooth and comfortable. Think of it as prepping the field: the more attention you give it, the more ready and comfortable you’ll both be. This means less of that notorious first-time friction.

So, love birds, take your time until you’re both really ready and eager. That way, when it’s time to get closer, it feels amazing, making the whole experience more about pleasure, even if it’s your first rodeo.

Lube That Kitty Up

Is your body not producing enough natural lubrication? Just because the terrain is dry doesn’t mean you have to close your eyes and suffer through every thrust. No ma’am! You just need some quality lube to put the joy right back into that joyride.

With so many choices – water, oil, silicone or hybrid lubricants – there’s something for everyone. My advice? Try one of each to find what does it for you. As long as you’re well-lubed and enjoying pain-free playtime, anything goes!

Relaxing Relations

If you feel tense or anxious about having sex, it’s time to put that mouth to good use. Easy, tiger, I mean just for talking, for now! (wink).

Time to open up, sweetheart! For starters, that means talking about everything that scares you with your partner. You can set clear boundaries, discuss why you feel frightened and brainstorm together on how to make things more comfortable – doing this can really change the game.

And if your sexual anxiety goes deeper than just the usual heebie-jeebies, seeking help from a therapist is a smart move – no judgment here, ever!

Beyond that, you can also try having a massage before getting down to business. In fact, it’s one of the best types of foreplay, that can help you both relax and get ready to rumble.

Here are some additional fun ideas that might help you relax before you embark on your sex-capades:

• Taking a bubble bath
• Enjoying a shower together
• Watching porn
• Reading something steamy
• Doing some stretches
• Indulging in a looooots of foreplay

Spice Things Up

Believe it or not, sometimes all you need for a pain-free experience is finding just the right positions and angles. Think of sex as the ultimate form of creative expression out there, darlings! So, don’t just lie on your back and hope for the best – explore and see how flexible you are instead!

Why not spice things up with a bit of role-playing or introduce some fun toys into the mix? These are your backstage passes to a show-stopping performance, making every moment not just more thrilling but comfy for the whole crew!

Doctors Are Your Friends

Whether you are dealing with a yeast infection, STI or vaginismus, going to the doctor is a must! Yeah, I get it – it’s probably the least fun you’ll ever have with your legs wide open.

Still, it’s a pill you simply have to swallow. Skip it and you risk the condition going from bad to worse, like infecting your partner or it turning into a life-altering (and threatening!) health issue. However you look at it, it’s bad.

Most times, you’ll just get a simple prescription for antibiotics or a topical treatment. Give it a few days and you’ll be ready to get back on that saddle, with the only ‘ouch’ being from making up for lost time a little too enthusiastically!

Painless Pleasure: Final Thoughts

And there you have it, my lusty daredevils – we’ve come to the end of our voyage through the murky waters of painful sex. If there’s anything you take from it, let it be that it’s not just ‘something you should put up with’.

In fact, there’s often a clear, treatable reason behind it and tackling it can make you see stars – the fun kind, of course.
