I’m a 25F and recently had a conversation with some friends about sex. A common theme that came up was how much they enjoy really deep, hard penetration, to the point where their partner is hitting their cervix. They described it as the best kind of sex.
For me, that kind of depth causes intense pain. It’s not a good kind of pain either. It feels like a period cramp turned up to 400. A deep, aching, throbbing pressure that knocks the wind out of me. I have to curl up in a ball, and sometimes I can’t even stand properly afterward. It feels like my entire lower abdomen is being squeezed from the inside.
I’ve had sex and used toys, but anything that goes past five or six inches can trigger that pain. I don’t remember it happening a few years ago, but in the last year it’s become more frequent.
Is this normal? Do some people just not tolerate deep penetration well? It’s hard not to feel like something might be wrong.
