This is not something to be shy about.  Every body reacts differently in given situations.  More often than not those diferances are not significant enough to be a problem.  But we are all unique individuals.
A trip to your doctor may be a good idea as that would afford you the opportunity to be checked for any physical problems.
Once you are certain every thing is physically good then you will be more equipped to deal with any psycological issues.
It is examples such as this that support young people not having sex. And trust me im not a prude. There is more to sexual relations than just having the right parts. In many incedents of youth sexuality the person is still learning thier bodies. IfIit hasnt stopped maturing then it keeps changing Knowing our bodies and the quirks that our particular bodies have is so important.  When

The only other variable is your age. If your first time was on the young side then you could have been still developing in you bodies
response to sex. It is normal for blood to flow to the genital area during sex. This heightens the sensitivity to the area. This holds true for both male and female.  As you become aroused more blood flows into the area and with it comes the obvious swelling.  As a point of fact if a guy is 5" when aroused, should he get extremely turned on (he may find something particularly erotic) he can swell another inch (or more) and increse in girth as well.
The same holds true for a female.
An explination as to why your 2 months into this and it just now starts swelling and being ultra sensitive could be that when you start sex with him you were reserved and not yet 'into it'. As your sexuality developed or you became more comfortable, your arousal incresed. With incresed arousal comes additional blood flow hence greater sensitivity and also, size. That every thing goes back to 'normal' shows its mot a permanent problem but one linked to your state of arousal.

Is this your first partner? If you've had sex before did this happen then also?
Some swelling is normal as blood goes to the area. But not extrme swelling

I agree with ringmaker. Also is this the first time having sex with him? I'd get checked for stds if I were you. You might have got a yeast infection too.

Of you used a condom or an unfamiliar lubricant you may of had a reaction to either. Though ot is rare the condom (if uou used one) could have contaminated. Also of it was spontanious sex there could have been something on his hands.
If the sex was aggressive or pationate however you want to say it, that could cause swelling.
Are you talking extremely swolen, puffy or....
Was there any other discomfort e.g. burning, etc. Any excessive redness or rash?
