What Causes Dryness In Vagina Leading To Painful Intercourse?

Since my wedding with my wife about five months ago, she does not get lubricated for sex. Hardly gets stimulated. And experiences pain whenever we try to have sex such that I rarely penetrate successfully.



What could be reponsible for this and can we do

OBGYN,  's  Response
My dear friend, please take the things artistically. It seems your wife is quite apprehensive of sex. Touching the woman's genitals dry is always painful. Please try to use the lubrication during the sex. Oil based lubricants are to be avoided. They are harmful for the woman's genital health. Use water based lubricant jellies that are available with the chemist. Even vaginal jellies are also available.
You should always try body play before going to the genitals. Particularly handling the breasts and nipples gives women sexual excitement.
Even with the lubrication, do not expect the full insertion of the penis inside the vagina so soon. It takes many months to year for full insertion. However, once she gets the experience of sexual enjoyment without any pain, she will start cooperating and participating more actively in the sex. Then the lubrication problem will be much less. Till that take it rather tactfully and patiently.
Hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. If any further guidance is needed, you can ask me.
