painfully tight

I have always been pretty tight, but there was a point that I enjoyed sex. I hadn't had sex in about a year and just started to toy around again. I get super excited and the guy I'm with now is great, but even just a finger now is painfully tight..he can't fit himself in. Thankfully he's patient, but I want to have sex - any suggestions? I'll try lube..

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to vaginismus. If due to vaginismus, physical therapy and relaxation exercises may help .Insufficient arousal causes by less foreplay or psychological cause like stress can be treated by spending more time in foreplay which would increase the vaginal secretion. You can use water-soluble starch based lubricant such as KY Jelly – these are similar to natural lubrication and should be applied to the area around the lips (vulva) and vagina just before intercourse takes place; vaginal moisturizers used 2-3 times a week, Vaseline etc .

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 could have vaginal atrophy, although you sound to be young and this occurs in older women usually.
So more likely you have vaginismus. http://sogc.org/publications/when-sex-hurts-vaginismus/
