10 things every woman should know.

Bat Sheva Marcus, LMSW, MPH, PhD, clinical director of The Medical Center for Female Sexuality, recently put together a list of 10 things every woman should know. We thought this was important enough to share with our readers.

  1. You are entitled to a great sex life no matter what your age.
  2. You are entitled to a great sex life no matter what your size, shape, or physical condition.
  3. There is no one right way to have a sex life. Your sex life just needs to work for you (and your partner, if you have one).
  4. You dont need to have a partner to have a great sex life.
  5. Knowing your body and its reactions is the first step to a better sex life.
  6. Your partner is probably not a mind reader.
  7. Intercourse does not equal great sex.
  8. If you are having problems, they very well may not be all in your head.
  9. Vibrators are not “kinky sex toys,” they are your friend.
  10. Sex should be fun.

While some of these entries may sound like common sense, you would be surprised at how many women don’t keep them in mind.

A safe and comfortable place to discuss vaginismus

The vaginismus forum at Maze Women’s Health is designed to bring women together. We understand that painful sex, vaginismus treatment, and the subsequent recovery can be sensitive topics, and you should have a safe and comfortable place to voice your experience, opinions, and concerns.

We envision this vaginismus forum as a place for you to introduce yourself, share your personal story, ask questions, and discuss any and all aspects of vaginismus, including our treatment options. We sincerely hope that you find this to be a comfortable place to discuss your struggles and triumphs as you navigate through vaginismus treatment. Talking through these issues with women that have gone through it can make all the difference.
