Painful Sex

Sex is a normal and healthy part of life but it’s not always comfortable. Sometimes, sex can be painful.

There are many reasons for this. It could be because of a physical problem, such as an infection or an injury, or an emotional or psychological problem, such as stress or anxiety.

If you’re experiencing painful sex, it’s important to talk to your doctor or a sexual health clinic, so they can help you figure out what’s causing the pain and find a solution.

Here are some things that can help relieve painful sex:

  • Use lubricant. Lubricant can help make sex more comfortable by reducing friction
  • Change positions. Sometimes, changing positions can help reduce pain
  • Take your time. Don’t rush into sex. Focus on enjoying each other
  • Talk to your partner. Let your partner know what feels good and what doesn’t
  • See a doctor. If the pain is severe or doesn’t go away, see a doctor, they can help you figure out what’s causing the pain and find a solution

Remember, you’re not alone. Painful sex is a common problem and there are solutions available.

Premature Ejaculation

One of the more common issues is premature ejaculation which is when someone climaxes before they want to. However, they can also suffer from delayed ejaculation when they find it hard or even impossible to climax.

Sex is fun and exciting, so almost everyone may experience premature ejaculation at some time. Likewise, sex can also sometimes be a nervous or uncomfortable time, making it hard to climax. Both are perfectly normal.

However, if you continually suffer from premature ejaculation – or find it hard to ejaculate – it could be a more long-term issue which you may need help to overcome.

Sexual health clinics and services like Essex Sexual Health can help you identify the problem and find a solution so it’s no longer something you need to worry about.
