Well, 1 possibility: Is inadequate foreplay leading to insufficient vaginal lubrication. No lubrication = friction = pain. Another possibility would be that the male's penis is overly large. Tightening of the vagina with attempts at penetration is also possible. I suggest starting with increasing quantity and quality of foreplay. Lubricants can also be used. If this is not helpful, consider seeing your gynecologist.
