vaginismus

It's become more acceptable for women to be openly interested in sex. What about the years of generational shame and trauma that lay below the surface? 

My vaginismus sucks. But in coping with this condition, I’ve tried to find the positive — and for me, that positive is experimenting with new sexual acts.

I hope that I can experience sex. I want to. But I’m also trying to be kind to myself and my body and to accept it as it is.

Choosing to disclose virginity status is a very personal decision, and it frustrates me when people try to make it for me. As a virgin, it’s up to me to decide when, how and why I do or don’t want to disclose to a partner.

I finally feel ready to have sex — but my body won’t cooperate. It’s incredibly frustrating to be unable to make this decision for myself.
