There are so many ways for us to describe sex: exciting, thrilling, empowering, spine-tingling, sexy, (orgasmic?)—notice how we didn't mention "painful" or "stinging." You get the point. Sex should always feel pleasurable (unless, of course, you're into some BDSM...).
But if you're experiencing discomfort in your nether regions, abandon ship until you figure out what the hell is going on down there. To suss out your potential hangups, we spoke to sexologist Yvonne K. Fulbright, Ph.D., and Mary Jane Minkin, M.D. (and author of A Woman's Guide to Sexual Health) to save your vagina and your sex life. Here, all your problems explained—and how to fix them.
You're not lubricated enough

Even though your vagina is a natural self-lubricator, if you're not turned on enough or boozed too much at the bar, you could suffer from dryness. Just use lube, or for chronic issues, a vaginal moisturizer like Replens.
You're allergic to your intimacy gadgets or products

While we're on the topic, you can't just go to the drugstore and buy the cheapest thing on the shelf. Lubricants are made with different chemicals, which can throw off your vagina's pH balance—the same goes for products like latex condoms. If you feel any sort of irritation after use, try to stick to "natural"-based stuff (we hear you, Goop) and see how that fares with your body.
