A member asked:

My girlfriend and i have never had sex but we're planning on it, although she is very sensitive around her vagina and says anything i do hurts. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Irritation could be lack of appropriate stimulation, dryness, or over-agressive techniques. Start slowly and progress at a comfort level to both partners.
