Hello All,
This is my first time posting. Just diagnosed with vaginismus today by my GYN. Feeling pretty down. Long story, short. My husband and I have been married for almost 29 years. We used to have a great sex life prior to his issues with ED. Then, about 9 years ago, he decided we just wouldn’t have intercourse. I was devastated, but we continued to have a close sexual relationship minus intercourse. Then, as of four months ago, his urologist suggests a penile implant to correct his ED issues. He decided to have the surgery. Now, he has a “brand new penis” and my vagina (being unused for almost 9 years) is now in lock down. Now I am devastated once more. He is ready for sexual intercourse and now my vagina has decided not to participate. I am so depressed, deflated and embarrassed. I want to get back to where we once were, years ago, but it looks like a long and painful journey ahead of me that I am not looking forward to. Just very sad tonight. He is empathetic, but I don’t think he has any idea how terrible I really feel. Thanks for “listening”. I think I just needed to “talk” to someone. M
