I suffer from vaginism
I am a young woman, 24 years old and I suffer from vaginism. Medical check-up showed that physically there is nothing wrong with me.
I had some appointments with the doctor and she referred me to a sexologist, but I do not dare to go yet.
I read on the internet that it can have to do with negative messages about sex from parents to children. My parents never talked about anything, so definitely not about sex.
The worst thing is that I am too afraid to start something with a man, because I'm scared that I feel freeze and it is super difficult for me to talk about it.
I hope that somebody has some experience or some tips to help me on my way?
Ow, I am very sorry to hear that. I can definitely imagine it happens, there is so much guilt and shame around sex.
Only thing I can do is advise you to share with people about it and go to a sex therapist. Nothing to be ashamed about!! Many many people have problems around intimacy, everybody in his or her own way. I wish you freedom and pleasure!
