Thining vaginal walls?

Back when I was married 7 yrs ago, sex was sometimes painful.  My X was at least 8 inches and it hurt when he entered or came into contact with my vaginal opening.  Once he was in, it became less painful.  I am 56, and only 5'2" but, I have birthed 4 children.  I've had sex a couple of times since my divorce with men of normal size and all was fine.  I have began dating a very nice man and he seems to be just about everything I could want and we might work out in a long term relationship.  Problem is, there is a fly in the ointment.  A very LARGE fly.  He is around 10" and thick.  Bigger is not better when you are on the receiving end.  We were together last night for the first time and I can't see this working for me.  The pain during the entire episode was unbearable.  I bought some special lube today but, don'[t see it helping because of his thickness and the fact that he will be constantly irradiating the walls of my sensitive areas.  I've looked a long time to finally find someone who could capture my interest and kissed tons of frigs.  Do I need to walk away?  Is sex a thing of the past for me?

Hello,
Usually pain during the initial stages of penetration is due to UTI and vaginal infection or vaginitis, a tight vaginal wall, sores at the mouth of vagina or vestibulitis, vulvodynia or a dry vagina (frictional injury), thrush or fungal infection. the vagina adjusts according to the penis length and thickness. You should check out vaginitis and dry vagina during intercourse.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

You can try different positions which limit the angle of penetration or which allow you to control the angle and depth of penetration.  You can also try asking him to be a little more careful about how deep he goes.  Open communication is necessary for sex to be good in any relationship.
