On being a woman and being desired…

A few weeks ago the New York Times ran an article on what turns women on. It was fascinating in many ways but one thing really resonated with me because it put into perspective things women had been saying. It suggested that often women’s desire comes from being “wanted.” That is, women get turned when they think that they are irresistible to their partner.

So that got me thinking… guys, this could be a very useful piece of information for you. An invaluable peice of information for you. Sometime today try sending an e mail, making a call or even whispering in her ear: “I’ve been thinking about you all day…couldn’t get my mind off of you…” See what happens.

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.
