Most gynos don't know anything about conditions that cause vaginal pain. I just had the operation last month after undergong physical therapy. The therapy helped to "loosen things up" since I developed vaginismis (tightness) as a result of the pain. However, it did not eradicate the source of the pain, which is inflamed tissue in the vestibules. I strongly suggest you see a specialist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1116450176060516382005-05-18T14:02:00.000-07:002005-05-18T14:02:00.000-07:00Ignorance constantly amazes me.

This woman is writing a brave and honest account of her life, and people like "anonymous" and "butterfinger" comment by spouting off about things they know nothing about.<BR/><BR/>"anonymous," there are a lot of interesting discussions to be had about whether Christianity is a good or a bad thing, but asserting (without even a hint of an argument) that Christianity "hates sex" betrays a complete lack of understanding of that belief system.<BR/><BR/>Butterfinger, condescendingly assuming that we can pinpoint someone else's sexual orientation from afar is one of the most laughable fallacies of our laughable time. I would venture to guess that if anyone made so deeply personal an assessment of you based on a few short essays (and was so snide about it as well), you'd be livid with righteous indignation.<BR/><BR/>Okay, so I don't mean to be quite so confrontational, and I apologize for my tone. but can we all do a little more thinking, please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1108849076156972602005-02-19T13:37:00.000-08:002005-02-19T13:37:00.000-08:00Em....have you thought of checking if you have ves...Em....have you thought of checking if you have vestibulitis? (http://obgyn.uihc.uiowa.edu/patinfo/Vulvar/vestibulitis.htm). There are no external signs, no indications whatsoever....sex just hurts. A lot. I had it, and then I was diagnosed, and I had to have an operation.....and I THANK GOD EVERY DAY BECAUSE NO MORE PAIN OMG. Really.<br /><br />...oh, and honey?

OK, so I have a big tendency to interpret everything I see as evidence of why Christianity is a horrible perversion of some really nice ideas, but this just strikes at something far too close to my heart. Sexuality is such a part of a woman.. how the hell can anything that hates it as much as Christianity does have got such a hold on us?<br /><br />V, Cambridge, UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1106679219255247492005-01-25T10:53:00.000-08:002005-01-25T10:53:00.000-08:00When I read "three" I kept having the thought that...When I read "three" I kept having the thought that the key difference here wasn't married versus not, but "we did everything-but <I>until we couldn't stand it</I>". Could it be that the problem isn't a tricky deity but a lack of attention to foreplay?<br /><br />(of course, you could argue that Christians are less willing to go for sex counselling, but that seems to be unrelated to the religion itself...)ACMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150889888692992746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1106592778259258442005-01-24T10:52:00.000-08:002005-01-24T10:52:00.000-08:00these are great. i've linked to you at my churchg...these are great. i've linked to you at my churchgal site (as well as my more profane blog, screed). and bitch. phd has linked to you, too!
