It could be vaginismus

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns about failure to achieve intercourse despite multiple attenpts.

The available description points toward possibility of vaginismus a condition characterized by involuntary contraction of outer vagina making intercourse very difficult or impossible.

The condition is purely psychological etiology often with history of cultural taboos about sex, adverse childhood experience, sexual abuse, poor sex knowledge among others.

Sometime when male partner fails to achieve intercourse success they assume that something is abnormal with them and develop psychological erection problem and I think this seems to be case for you.

Since the problem is psychological the treatment involves psychiatrist and psychologist.

I request you to see one without dealy.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
I will be glad to assist you further.
Thanks and regards.
