Am I starting to sound like a broken record? Again and again, we get women saying “I wish my partner was a little smaller. I guess I’m an anomaly, but I just don’t like having intercourse with a large penis. It hurts.” You’re not an anomaly. It is so rare that anyone complains of a penis being too small, but larger penises can present their own challenges and not every women’s vaginal canals can handle the larger penis. So guys…one more time — (should we say it in unison?) BIGGER IS NOT NECESSARILY BETTER!
Size….again.

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.
