How Do You Prepare For Sex So It Doesn’t Hurt?

A few hours after sex I ended up having SERIOUS spasims in my pelvis... how can you prevent this?

I honestly found a position makes a difference. This does sound a little TMI but i find being on top helps. It lets me have more control on pace and depth. Sometimes, i will use sensation lubes to help. Yes, i do orgasam this way just about everytime.

I have this issue constantly and no matter how many things I try nothing helps. It has gotten to a point where I don't even like my bf touching me because I know what he wants. The arguments are so bad that he constantly accuses me of cheating though I tell him what's going on. My condition is getting worse. He's not listening not paying attention and it's making me feel depressed.

We tried different positions and a massive no no for me is him on top. We have found ways to be intimate without the actual intercourse although sometimes that brings on the pain also. So frustrating isn't it! If you Google sex and endo there are quite a few good tips on the internet.

I did pelvic floor therapy, and my therapist recommended using smaller toys to help your body prepare. I have found myself avoiding and/or cancelling intimate plans because of the pain, but some days are better. Listen to your body and if you're having a bad day it'll only get worse, but good days are the best days for intimacy.

I medicate before hand if I can, and it's really important to try different positions. Another thing to try to remember is to communicate A LOT with your partner about how it's not their fault and (if you do) you enjoy it and want to keep trying. Maybe try thinking of it as an opportunity to embrace foreplay more and find more ways to keep things pleasurable.
