A member asked:

During start of intercourse vagina felt sore inside but got less painful during intercourse, but also feels pretty sore inside afterwards. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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".
