Vaginal soreness after intercourse?
Hey everyone. Often times when my boyfriend and I have sex, my vagina feels sore afterward. What could be causing this?

First thoughts are just questions...
- Is he relatively large?
- Are you having rougher sex?
- Are your sessions relatively long?
- Is lubrication an issue at all / have you tried adding lube?
- Does it happen more in certain positions?
- Have you experienced this with past partners?
He's average size. We're not really having rough sex. Our sessions last around 20 minutes. We do use lube. We have only tried one position so far. And I don't recall whether or not I've experienced it with past partners.
This is likely one to see the doc about... the only simple things that come to mind are a possible allergy to the lube or condom (if you're using one). There are a number of medical conditions that could be related, but that is outside of my expertise - and sadly we haven't picked up any doctors on the new forum yet.
Not yet... In the past, it took quite some activity on the board before some doctors and nurses jumped in. At the moment, we're struggling to get a few people posting within a few days of each other. I really need to add the functionality for people to get emails when a thread they're involved in gets a new post.
