Advice for painful sex with endo

[endogirl3]

Hey everyone, hope you're well

This is my first post on here so here goes. Bit of background - I was diagnosed with endo in my late teens so sex has always been painful for me, especially the first time with a new partner. I've managed it with using standard lubes, trying to be as relaxed as possible and being upfront with who I'm sleeping with - even though that in itself is a bit of a stress cos I don't know how they'll react. I know it's not my fault but I'm a worrier by nature haha.

I just wondered if anyone had any advice? One of my friends who works in a gynaecologists office recommended a water-based lube from a brand called Yes - I wondered if anyone had heard of it? Or any other tips would be great

Hi I suffer with painful sex too, my advice would be being honest with who you are intimate with as that does take the stress off just a little. I find that when they know I can relax a little. Then I would say do a lot of foreplay before so you can give yourself time to relax and get into it. Sometimes painkillers or a drink before does help (I’m not condoning this) but for me it just helps take the edge off a little bit saying that I never have a drink before sex normally if me and partner have been out and we have had a drink that night I do notice the pain can be a little less. Don’t worry about how they will react I used to be like that but then I thought I don’t care you either accept or you don’t!! But other than that I haven’t actually found something that works for me fully I hope you manage to find something works for you x

There's something called OhNut, it helps you control the depth of penetration. It seems to help a lot of women.
