Vaginismus: Part 2

Vaginismus is classified into two categories- primary and secondary. In primary vaginismus, women have never had successful sexual intercourse primary due to pain or apprehension about pain from penile penetration. The symptoms are variable. Some women only find penetration painful but can have an intimate relationship. In others, even the thought of being intimate is associated with painful spasms. These women also have a great deal of difficulty in undergoing routine medical procedures like the pap smear and a pelvic exam. In secondary vaginismus, women have had successful sexual intercourse in the past but now have developed vaginismus.

Risk Factors

Why does Vaginismus occur? While the exact cause is unknown, there are several risk factors that can lead to the disorder. This includes:

- prior history of sexual abuse
- prior history of sexual trauma (rape)
- a frightening experience during a pelvic medical
examination in childhood
- Painful first intercourse
- Difficulty with interpersonal Relationships
- Sexual inhibition
- Sexual taboos in family
- Not wanting to become pregnant
- Prior painful episode associated with an infection,
surgery
- Superstitious beliefs about sex and sexual organs

Symptoms

Not all women have the same degree of vaginismus. The severity is variable. However, in general most women are not able to have sexual intercourse without feeling pain. There are some women who experience pain during a pelvic exam, insertion of a tampon or even insertion of a vaginal suppository. A few women just cannot accept the fact that a penis can enter the vagina without causing pain. This leads to apprehension and pain.

  1. Primary Vaginismus.
    If you have it, then your body is NOT designed for sex.

    It is God's way of telling a woman that she is DESTINED to become a nun or celibate.
    So if you have it, go on and BECOME A NUN.
    Or be CELIBATE.
    That's because it is God's way of controlling the global population. God created women with such sexual dysfunction to keep them away from sex and thus preventing conception. Unfortunately, most women don't realize it and would still go through days and weeks of therapy which is just time consuming.

    Trying to remedy your condition is against God's will.
    God does NOT want you to have sex.
    If you're a woman, don't get married & don't have sex if your VAGINA wont let you.
    God had CLOSED the gates of your virginity.
    FACE IT! You have a NUN'S VAGINA.
    It is time to give up on men and become a NUN.

    VAGINISMUS may be the answer to overpopulation.
    God truly works in strange ways.
