Is it normal that it hurts so frickin much?

The first time I had sex was about 6 months ago, but I had been trying for the last year and a half. My boyfriend and I decided we were ready but I could never go through with it. It hurt waaay too much. Sometimes we couldn't even get it all in, because I was in too much pain. I started to think that I had a hymen made of bricks, because even putting on a tampon hurt. But later on I was able to put a tampon on without a problem, but I am now boyfriend-less so can't really experiment that part... Is that normal?

    It was the same way for me at first. I used a toy but it took a long time for it to work. I'm still extremely tight and even now it's slightly painful when he first puts it in, even after years of sex and stuff. But if he gets me turned on enough I don't exactly mind the pain hahaha. Just keep working at it, I think it's pretty normal, we probably just have naturally tight vaginas or thick hymens.

    Try lube, if that doesn't work talk to your doctor, you might have an abnormally large hymen and need a minor operation.

    Normal. I'm a guy, but studying medicine. Try to relax and then puwt a sex toy or something clean (putting a condom on it will do) in gently. After practising for a while (might take a long time), you shouldn't be that tight anymore and you will slowly start enjoying sex. You need to have some patience though ;)

  • Try with things around your house but I'd suggest for you to put a condom on them before stuffing them inside of you. You can always buy sex toys online. I don't know if the pain was normal or not, I never had a hymen but I'm sure the pain your describing doesn't seem very normal to me. You can take things slowly and at your pace alone with a toy. Hopefully you won't have all that pain again.
