Often when I’m speaking, I will point out that sex is just not like what they show in the movies. You know, we’ve all seen those great scenes where the clothes have no buttons or zippers to contend with, the penis finds its way into the vagina with no hand guiding it (kind of like a homing pigeon), there are no wet spots on the bed after sex and both people orgasms at the same time. Yea. Right. Well sometimes I feel like we all fall prey to the fantasy of the Hollywood sex scenes. No more. This video, which I thought was awesome, debunks those scenes in the best possible way: through humor. So watch, and laugh.
The real “Hollywood” sex scene.

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.
