writes: I'm desperate to get over my vaginismus, but using dialators hasn't helped at all after a fair bit of trying. Nothing has worked for me at all. I'm 23, I started having sex when I was 17 and not once in the time since then has it not been painful. I'm at the end of my tether. I have a wonderful boyfriend who is happy enough to forego intercourse and do other sexual acts with me instead, but I still want desperately to get over the problem. I think the cause is a mixture of several things (a terribly painful first time, being nervous of men because of a lot of creepy attention I got when I was a child - no abuse though - and a no-sex-talk environment growing up.) I was pondering over hypnotherapy, something like that, to coach my mind into stopping my body reacting like sex is a threat. At this point, I'll try anything. Can anyone advise me whether that would be worth a shot? Reply to this Question Share |

If you look up hypnotherapy online, you will find a few sites that want money, but you can also find a site that lets you try hypnotherapy for different things free.www.free-hypno.comAnd then click on "free hypnosis" at the top of the screen. You can try some of these videos and see if they do the things that they say they do. You can play them a certain number of times every week for weeks, or maybe just sample some of them. I enjoyed the site when I was using it, and if you like what you see/hear/both you could possibly try looking up a hypnotherapist in the phone book of where you live.You aren't alone. One of my friends has vaginismus too, as I'm sure some other women as well do. I hope that if you try this, that it works for you.Take care.
