    Really struggling with this the last 2 years. I have always had it (unknown to myself) but i have never been able to have sex. Been to a gynae who referred me to a physio where they have used every word but this for my condition- overactive pelvic floor, tight hips etc. Really want to have a baby with DH and really feeling down about it. Just looking to see has eveyone else had a similar experience?

    Is there anything that helps it at all? Does it relax a bit after a few drinks (not that I'm advocating getting drunk every time you have sex!). If so, it may be because you are more relaxed yourself - in which case meditation etc may help?
    I'd imagine that sex has become such a battle now that you're already worried and worked-up before you even get started, which will make matters worse.
    Is there anything in your life that's annoying/worrying you? Sometimes this can contribute too, and once circumstances change, it gets easier.
