I think I have it. It might sound weird, but I'm just nervous about things going in my vagina. I've never even used a tampon.
It's supposed to be linked with your psychological, subconcious beliefs about sex or penetration. Like your vagina clenches, making vaginal penetration of any kind very difficult.
It's basically more mental than physical.
I think the best way to deal with it is through counseling and therapy.

Tyra Banks did a show on this topic. It's a horrible, horrible condition! I feel really bad for women who have it.

True... they don't really talk about the causes, but one lady on the show said she was cured by getting an injection of 40 botox shots into her hoo ha! Ouch!! The episode can be found on YouTube, it's floating around somewhere.

Nope. To be honest, it's not like I've been getting laid any time recently, so it hasn't posed to much of a problem. lol
But I guess it'd be better to try counseling earlier than too late. I'm considering hypnosis.
Ain't no way in hell I'm getting Botox injections, that's for sure!

So... some feedback..
I actually went to the doctor a few years ago and was diagnosed with this... a "mild" case (comparatively) according to the doctor, gyno and specialist that I saw... But I'm clearly not all that dedicated to getting better because I still can't have sex. (So yes, there was a reason I asked...)
And like you, chocolategoddes, I can't wear tampons.
And yes, for everybody who wonders... it does suck.

I remember that one - it was so bad for one woman - she couldn't even insert a swab/q-tip. I heard about the condition a long time ago - in my sex ed class, reading Cosmo and other sexual health books. I know a lot of them mentioned psychological reasons for it (some stemming from sexual abuse or sexual assault earlier in life).
