<title>Question - September, 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[Dear Doctor,<br>
I started experiencing this problem about two years ago.  I changed birth control pills and was getting yeast infections.  My vagina also became dry, which made sex unpleasant.  I stopped using the pills and my vagina is moister and it’s more pleasant for me to have intercourse.  However, since that time, I experience pain during intercourse upon entry.   It is always in the same spot, toward the bottom of my vagina, on the right side.  I find myself not wanting to have sex because I am scared it will hurt.  I want to be able to enjoy sex the way I used to.  Please help.<br>

<title>Question - September, 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[
I’ve been married for four years and have two daughters, 3 and 2 years old.  I was a virgin when I got married and got pregnant three months later.  During both pregnancies, I had no desire for sex and it didn’t get any better when I nursed.  I am now neither pregnant nor nursing, and haven’t been for almost 2 years.  I don’t have problems getting aroused anymore, but I don’t get any pleasure from intercourse.  I can, however, orgasm through self masturbation or when my husband does it for me.  I understand from reading other questions that it’s normal not to orgasm during intercourse, but is it normal not to feel any pleasure at all?  Lubrication is not an issue since I have no problem in that department.  I would describe the way intercourse feels to me as the same feeling I get if I were touched unsexually (such as someone rubbing my hand).  Is it possible that I am just missing nerves or something like that?  Or is it more likely to be psychological?  What I really want to know is if this can be corrected or if I should just accept it?

<title>Question - August, 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[Dear Doctor,<br>
I had a hysterectomy and radiation treatment to treat cancer 25 years ago.  I now have pain with intercourse.  It appears that there is scar tissue in the area that received radiation and it is causing pain.<br>
Have you experienced this problem with other patients?  The situation has prevented me from having sexual relations and this has impacted my life greatly.  It is very difficult to discuss these problems.<br>
Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.<br>
Thank you,<br>DC

<title>Question - August, 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[Dear Doctor,<br>
I am 35 years old and have never had an orgasm.  I experience the sexual phases that the body should go through when becoming aroused, but that is all that happens.  I become excited, sometimes extremely excited, my clitoris gets engorged, I get wet and that is it.  I have even masturbated millions of times and used a vibrator and still nothing happens.  I was wondering if there is surgery or another recommendation for me.  I would like to be able to experience an orgasm sometime soon.<br>
Thank you for your time,<br>P

<title>Question - July, 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[I am 18 and I have been with my partner for 4 months and still have not had an orgasm.  When he stimulates me it still feels really good and I feel like something should happen, but it never does.  This is my second partner and I didn’t have an orgasm with my first either.  I have been on Paxil for almost 2 years now.  Could the Paxil really have such a big impact on me?  Is there something wrong with me?  Is there something I can do?

My husband has said he would like to try role-playing.  I have spoken with some friends and none of them have ever done this before.  Is role-playing normal and is it something anyone can do?  How do I enjoy it without feeling self-conscious?

<description><![CDATA[
I am having trouble having intercourse with my boyfriend. We have been together six years. When we first got together, it was great. Now, it hurts every time we have sex. I don't think it is anything he is doing since we used to be fine, but I am not sure what to do. How could it suddenly start hurting when it never did before? Could I have been injured somehow? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

I am writing to you with an odd problem. Although I want to have sex with my husband, I find that it is harder and harder to get turned on. Then it takes so long to have an orgasm, it almost isn't worth it (or I can't have one at all). This never used to be a problem. What is wrong with me?

About two years ago, I had a hysterectomy. Since then, I haven't been interested in having sex and when I do, it is painful. I don't know why sex has become painful, it never was before. Is this going to go away or is there something I can do to make it better?
