Painful Sexual Experiences

I lost my virginity just last month, but have still been having painful sex.  I feel like there is a spot right inside my vagina near the opening (towards my anus) that constantly hurts when he tries to put his penis in. It's a really bad pinching pain that I get almost every time the penis goes inside. After about a minute or minute and a half, the pain goes away, but I'm a little sore sometimes after.  I've had some bleeding in that spot after sex occasionally, too, especially on the times it hurts the worst.  My hymen is definitely stretched by now, I've had sex about ten times now.
I'm thinking that I'm not fully aroused all of the time, so that has caused the some of the pain, but it's always in the same spot. If we try to do it again in the same night, I'm still wet and it goes in a lot easier with much less pain.
We've always used condoms, I'm on birth control, so no STD possibility. I'm in my early 20's and am otherwise healthy.
Any ideas as to what could be going on or what to do to improve?
Is there something wrong with my vagina, my hymen? Is it a reaction to latex condoms? Am I just not wet enough?
I'd appreciate any input, advice, or suggestions please!

You say it's less pain the second time around because you're wetter.  I'd say that's a fairly good indicator you're not aroused enough.  Try some more foreplay beforehand that's focused on you, and if that's not enough, you can always try some lube.

Could that explain the occasional bleeding when it's sore?
