Why Does It Hurt During Sex?

Sex is a pleasure drive. What if this pleasure drive is not so pleasurable and turns your happy days and night into discomfort?!

Over the years the trajectory of sexual dysfunction has gained momentum especially when it comes to pain during sexual intercourse.

 Before, going into the details of pain orders related to sexual dysfunction we need to understand what we mean by sexual dysfunction. So, sexual dysfunction is basically a condition that refrains an individual from enjoying sexual pleasures.

The common cause of this dysfunction is stress, anxiety, psychological disorder, and many more as well as painful intercourse. Sexual dysfunction is experienced by both individuals and can lead to a detrimental impact on healthy sexual life if not treated properly on time by consulting a doctor.

Loss Of  Interest In Sex Drive: Is It A Sign Of Pained Intercourse?

Many surveys have shown up there has been a loss of interest in sex drive. The reason for such an outcome varies from person to person. But the main reason which was highlighted was pain during intercourse. This pain also has its distinctive properties when it comes to a female or male.

For vulva owners, tensed vaginal muscles and inadequate lubrication can make intercourse painful. Also, this pain can be a cause of neurological, and urinary disorders. Even a change in hormonal level during menopause or a drop in estrogen level can lead to thinning of skin in the genital area. It can also lead to decreased lubrication and thinning of the vaginal lining leading to painful penetration.

For penis owners, it is a painful ejaculation. The ejaculation can be premature in nature and happens immediately before or after penetration. This premature ejaculation can be a result of performance anxiety or at times nerve damage or spinal cord disorder. 

Other ejaculations are impaired ejaculation wherein a person cannot ejaculate at all. The ejaculation disorder during orgasm occurs when the ejaculation instead of getting out of the penis gets inside the penis. Although doctors claim that it is not a serious issue, it can impair fertility.

Pain Order During Intercourse: A Topic Of Dissent In The Society

Till now we have been talking about sexual dysfunction and pain penetration, its causes, and whether it is detrimental in the case of men and women in long term. 

But along with this one should keep one thing in mind only talking about the causes of sexual dysfunction and pain order and whether to consult a doctor regarding this won't serve the purpose. 

There's a more detrimental impact of pain penetration or ejaculation problems in sexual dysfunction when it comes to being addressed openly to society.

Mostly in such cases, people refrain from talking about such topics even if they have gone through the same. People not only refrain to discuss it openly but even deny accepting the existence of sexual dysfunctional factors like pain penetration, faking orgasms, etc.

It's very likely to be shy and disagrees about it but we need to understand the in-depth seriousness of this issue. The fact that society doesn't accept such things and does not let an individual be open about it is the prime cause of disagreeing or ignoring this issue. Criticism from most people is seen about those who put their views forward or discuss openly pain intercourse.

Awareness campaigns about such issues are very much important and the need of the hour. Although if such campaigns are held up in neighboring societies it may take a month or even a year in some cases for the organizers to convince people to attend such campaigns. 

The pressure from family relatives and members on the newlyweds to have the process of consummation may have sexual dysfunction, in the long run, can lead to performance pressure and increased anxiety leading to forced penetration and ejaculation which can lead to worse impact on the sexual health as well as sex life of the spouses.

In some cases, alcoholic or drug addicts also face the problem of painful intercourse, although exceptions are there to it where some by choice and some out of circumstances become alcoholic or drug addicts but still exception does not lead to solving the problem.

Conclusion

I keep my pen down by concluding with the statement that the problem of painful intercourse is not as big when compared to STI and AIDS but it's nonetheless. Proper functioning of healthy sexual life is essential. Any sort of dysfunction associated with it not only ruins or healthy sex life but also the relationship between the individual. It also leads to stress and anxiety which can have a direct impact on an individual's work life. Thus, it depends on us how we perceive sexual dysfunction and what we do to prevent it from ruining our healthy sex life as well as relationships.
