Reply To: What is Collision Dyspareunia?

[Helen Leff, LCSW]

Thanks so much for this post Leslie! It’s so important to be specific when discussing painful intercourse and figuring out if the pain is at entry, with thrusting, with external touch …. Woman have told me that they have been broken up with over “collision dyspareunia” as the couple had no idea what it is. Of course there was more to the break up story than that, but had they known that there’s an easy fix who knows what the outcome may have been.
We need to continue to seek real, scientific, and helpful information regarding sexual health.
