I really want to talk about pain during sex for women.
Sex is not meant to hurt, unless you’ve consented to bdsm
A 2012 study shared almost a third of women felt pain during sexual intercourse with a man. There are many reasons as to why such as trauma, dryness etc

One type of pain some people aren’t aware of is vaginismus. Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of muscles around the opening of the vagina. This makes sexual penetration extremely difficult and beyond your control.
Here’s a diagram of what vaginismus kinda looks like.
You **might** have vaginismus IF
you find sex painful
difficult to masturbate (penetration)
tampons are hard to insert
pain after sex
See your gynaecologist

It can be cured btw. My friend experienced this and used the common method, dilators. You put it in your vagina and basically train your vagina to get used to it. They come in different sizes.
I also agree that pain during sex outside of bdsm has been glamourised by porn and men who know nothing about female pleasure. But we have to educate each other. Please speak up if you experience an uncomfortable feeling.
