Any Advice On How To Reduce Pain During Sexual Intercourse?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Recently, I have been in an immense amount of pain which has caused me to completely avoid being in a sensual setting with a guy. I’ve found that certain positions are more painful than others, but I feel bad asking for the guy to accommodate. It’s almost as though I can feel something stabbing at my uterus, causing immediate cramps. Then for about 4 or 5 days following this, I am sore and swollen to the point of which wiping after using the bathroom is painful. Is there anything I can… read more

Tell HIM. I swear this society kills me. Why would you feel guilty. Men toss women around during sex like rag dolls. Missionary then doggy then both legs over the shoulders then twisted. And you know who they worry about asking...NO ONE. That's what they like and they figure hey she's down unless she says otherwise. So tell him. "If you want to have sex, that's awesome I'm feeling it too but I don't enjoy it when we do it missionary style. Let's spice things up and try it this way instead." or just be completely honest and say, Hey, it hurts when we do it this way, and I want you so let's do it this way instead. Men are not some fragile little butterfly who are going to pout about not getting it missionary or doggy or whatever style you can't do. They're going to be like "Hey, I'm still getting sex! Just not that way, so who cares!?!" I hate to be blunt but I hate more that you feel like you don't have a right to say how you want to have sex. Women are queens girl, command your kingdom!

I'd seriously suggest you mention it to him - I get what you're saying about feeling bad (I've felt that way myself before) but flip the situation for a second. If there were certain positions that were seriously hurting him, wouldn't you rather he say something so you can both move to a position you're both comfortable in? If he's any kind of decent guy, he's probably going to much rather you be enjoying yourself as well, rather than gritting your teeth in pain while he gets off.

Better question is why don't you hate that she feels she can't be open about what's physically hurting her? That's terrible. The truth is that women normally don't feel as comfortable making their needs or desires in bed a priority. It is important, she is important and though we have very different ways of approaching it the message is very much the same. We both want her to feel empowered to make her wants/needs known. Why you choose to continually be bitter and spiteful towards a complete stranger and petty is beyond me but I've got better people to worry about than you honey boo boo. So have a good day and God Bless.

You literally said you “hate” how she feels and that she doesn’t have power. To me, those are awful words. She is obviously a compassionate person & doesn’t want to upset her man. It doesn’t mean she is powerless, she is probably just defeated. Try to spread love, not hate & save your prayers. It seems like you need them more than I do.

I don't believe that men are evil and to belittle someone for their honesty degrades your own character. I want her to feel powerful enough to say what she wants and doesn't want. I'm sorry you can't seem to see that but if you think that belittling someone on a site made for uplifting others is a good way to go, well hun-you'll be in my prayers.
