We both even learnt to not even think of sex.

Last time we had sex, I had a bad experience. I felt a lot of pain in the intercourse so much that we had to stop and my partner ordered a vibrator so I could use it little by little to recover my elasticity. Still today, I haven’t tried it. It’s as if I try to apart the idea of sex from my mind. But, on another part, I want sex to be a part of my relationship.

Any idea?
Have someone here try the Chinese balls? I’m also considering try it. Since I only feel like having sex while I’m in my menstruation, and it’s not very intense either.

I have to say that I’m not taking the pills I mentioned above now. My current medication doesn’t affect my sexual drive. So, no problem in this sense.
You should see a gynecologist because for some women nearing and after fifty intercourse can be painful. That’s not your fault and there may be things you can do about it. And yes, unfortunately with some of the antidepressants a side affect can be low libido and no sexual desire.
Thanks for this!
