Reply To: Young women: not enough education!

I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, Theresa. As someone who used to have vaginismus I have wrestled with a lot of anger in the past (and present) at how sex is so badly communicated about in our society and how easy it is to believe things like that pain is a necessary part of sex when it absolutely shouldn’t be. We absolutely need to be educating girls (AND boys!) better about what sex should feel like and how to do it properly. It would save so many people years of suffering if conditions like vaginismus were better understood.
