A member asked:

Why has sex always been painful for me? not excruciating but stings a lil. my vagina gets really moist so its not dryness or that im not turned on.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Painful sex ?: Minor vaginal infections can cause stinging during/after sex, and if the pain is after ejaculation of your partner, some women can become "allergic" to specific semen. See your gyn to test for either.
