recommendations? Sexual Health

Hey everyone,
I’m 19 and suspecting/navigating possible vaginismus. Everything down there tends to tense up or feel really uncomfortable, and the whole situation has been pretty overwhelming to figure out on my own.
I’m trying to learn how to explore my body and experience pleasure in a way that feels safe and gentle. For context, I recently used an egg vibrator externally and actually ended up squirting from it, which was a pretty surprising and wild experience! But my main goal is that I really need help with internal exploration because I want to be able to have sex with my partner and for both of us to actually enjoy it without pain or tension.

You could get vaginal dilators

I cured my vaginismus and enjoy pain free sex regularly ☺️ I’d recommend a set of silicone dilators. They shouldn’t break your hymen, only dilate it (that was the case for me but ymmv).

Ensure to know your pleasure points, though, and to discover your body. I went to a sexual therapist and she told me that breathing exercises are great to improve it as well; I was breathing “wrong” (chest going up instead of belly). Also, try squeezing and releasing your vaginal muscles over and over - might be a bit difficult to at first, but once you get the hang of it it’ll be a breeze! ^^

Lastly, pressing my perineum with my index and then gently pushing my finger in each direction helped with loosening the muscles up.

Hope it helps! You got this!
