Helping you put vaginismus in the past, for good
Thank you so much! Mind To Body Connection Yoga was exactly what I needed! Haven’t moved my body in SO long. And I can’t remember the last time my brain was so quiet and my body so relaxed. Feeling super newbie, but I hope that you do get enough people to keep this a weekly thing! I have …
My journey with vaginismus started right around the time most people my age were exploring having sex. I was 16 and attempted intercourse with my boyfriend at the time. Right away something was wrong. I felt excruciating pain without it even going in. I knew it wasn’t normal but I was reassured next time it’ll …
I’m SO glad to have attended the Power Of Words meet up recently. I found it really valuable to set aside an hour to focus on my vaginismus journey, through the medium of writing, in the company of other women who have their own first hand experiences of what I’m currently going through.

You can read the full details of the dangers of kegel exercises …
I’m a rather sensitive person that soaks up information like a sponge, being influenced (and confused) by different attitudes and opinions. I often do not trust my own judgment… Driven by the desire to fit in and to do everything right. That’s why all the books I read, all the stereotypical Hollywood movies I watched …
My story began many years ago when I tried the penetrative sex for the first time… It was awful and painful. During the next years I tried again many times but penetration was always painful and many times even impossible. I asked myself many times what was wrong with me. I was scared about wearing …
