Sounds like dry dock: Dry dock is the place that ships are built and launched. It sounds like your intercourse "ship" is trying to enter "dry dock" and causing discomfort. Try a water soluble lubricant such as Maxilube or K-Y if the seas( natural vaginal lubrication) are not "floating your ship".

Not sure what the issue is but would see a gynecologist in the office and have a pelvic exam to be sure there is not an issue in the vagina.

More likely: vaginal infection, or vaginal spasms. An exam with your doctor to be sure. However, not likely PMS.
