Concern: Painful Sex
Q: Is it normal for a woman to experience pain if she hasn't had sex for more than 3 months if so, what is the cause?
A:
First I recommend you have a gynae check up to ensure there are no
physical problems and no infection. Then, the easy answer to that is no,
you should not be experiencing significant pain...

Concern: No sex drive
Q: Why do I have no desire at all?
A:
There are many facets to lack of libido - both external (medication and
lack of stimuli) and internal (physical and mental). Start by visiting
your GP to ascertain that you are physically healthy.
Then
you'll have to start exploring your body and your sexuality again. Find
out what interests you. Find things that turn you on. Make yourself
orgasm. Read, play, explore. You might need to see a psychologist in
this phase. It can be a hard road but it is worth it in the end.

Concern: Dry vagina
Q: I know that I can use a lube, but is there a natural way of getting rid of this problem?
A: If
you can rule out any medical factors then most commonly the reason you
are dry is because you are not being sufficiently aroused in the moment
with your partner. Perhaps you have lost attraction for him, or maybe
you have no desire to be sexual with him; perhaps his sexual technique
is just not doing it for you.

Concern: First-time sex
Q: What should I expect and what position is best?
A: Expect
some pain with penetration – but who knows, you may have very little
bleeding and be relaxed enough so your pain may be minimal.

Concern: Erection difficulty
Q: What can I take to give me an erection that lasts longer, no matter how many times I ejaculate?
A: I
am going to tell you a little secret – few women enjoy having ongoing
penetration for 1 solid hour. They tend to dry up, get a little bored
and she cannot maintain orgasmic ecstasy with 1 hour's worth of only
thrusting.
