I've been back on my estrogen/testosterone compound for a while now and when I get horny, look out! A few weeks ago, in a fit of passion I encouraged my partner to do something that on any other day I keep off limits: I slid his finger inside me. What he did from there was mind-blowing. I've only let one or two other people do that to me and I've NEVER enjoyed it at all.
In three and a half years together, this is the first time he's done that. It felt incredible. It didn't bring me to climax, but it just felt so damn good. With my extreme desire and his new found confidence in the sack, we've been having some steamy evenings.
Last Thursday night, we had what I would consider the greatest sexual encounter of our relationship. Nothing comes close. It was amazing. There are no other words.
Tonight was great, except for one thing... I didn't tell him no or gentle or ouch or be careful of that. First of all, I wasn't in the mood for foreplay. I just wanted sex. My partner wanted to touch me. I thought about saying something, but I didn't. He was running his finger back and forth from the top of my clit to the end of my snatch. He kept rubbing the opening of my urethra. I thought, "I'm going to feel that tomorrow," but I didn't say anything. My partner rubbed my clit vigorously and it hurt a bit, but I just didn't want to say anything.
Now, three hours later my clit is still swollen and irritated and my urethral meatus feels uncomfortable. All of this could have been avoided if I had just told him something to deter him. But he's been so confident and I know how fragile that confidence is. I didn't want to risk him pulling back and shutting down. I'm now wondering if I should let him know to be careful with certain areas or just let it go.
The question is: when is the right time to tell him it hurts, if the pain isn't that bad? In the moment? Right after? Days later? Never?
I don't know if there's a correct answer. I'm eager to hear what you think. What the best way to tell him or her?
Also known as painful intercourse syndrome, vulvodynia is an often-oversimplified diagnosis for a very complicated and debilitating syndrome. Pudendal neuralgia is inflammation of the pudendal nerve. This condition causes burning or stabbing pain in the genitals, urethra or anus. The pain often gets worse over the course of a day and is exacerbated by sitting. Both conditions make sex incredibly painful. Sex should not cause you persistent pain. It can get better. You’re not alone.

It Hurts After I Pee
Since last Saturday I've had a sharp pain in my urethra after I pee. It feels like someone stuck a knitting needle in there. It's very uncomfortable. I haven't found a position that alleviates it, but I have found lying down in certain positions makes the pain worse. Strange.
So the question is: do I have a nerve flare concentrated in my urethra or do I have an infection that is being magnified by my pudendal neuralgia? I really don't know. I don't have any other UTI symptoms, like urgency or increased frequency.
There have been times when I've had sex in certain positions and the opening of my urethra has been hit or rubbed the wrong way. The pain is similar, but it wasn't linked to peeing. This time, there was no sexual trauma.
I don't know what could have brought it on besides the summer heat. Let's face it ladies, on a hot day, you're going to sweat down there. Pink part perspiration has caused me a lot of problems lately.
When my kitty gets overheated, my lactobacillus population increases causing burning similar to a yeast infection.
Could my hot muff have caused my urethral pain?
I'm drinking cranberry juice and hoping it will go away on it's own. I just saw my doctor last week. If it's not better by Monday I'll call. This is contrary to my, "Why Suffer," motto, but it's good to be sure you need medical assistance first.
I haven't been able to have sex all week and, of course, it has to be the week my partner has eyes for me. Hopefully he'll still be hot for me when this goes away. Maybe I'm just more appealing when he can't have me... or I'm not asking for it...
There might be a lesson in all this.
