Question
Hi. I have a problem. I'm 15 years old and I've been with my current boyfriend for about a year now. He's also 15. We only recently decided that we felt ready to have sex. I was really excited about the prospect of trying new things and had high opinions of the act however i have been very disappointed so far. The first time hurt A LOT! We've continued to have sex 5 more times since our first time and everytime i have been aroused but it always hurts when he enters me and for the first few minutes of penetration. I don't know what to do about this problem because i don't enjoy sex and i want to. I do not find it pleasurable at all. Please help.. i want to be normal!

Answer
Hey Hayley,
First off, I'm gonna tell you that you are too young to be having sex. WAYYYYY TOO YOUNG. Second, it's normal for it to hurt the first time, so you are normal. I guess it just takes time for you to get used to it. I'm sure eventually it will stop hurting.
