My journey wasn’t easy. When I started the dilator training, I had a confidence that I could succeed it easily. But later on, my partner broke up with me. I went through a lot of emotional stress and I stopped the dilator training midway. It took me quite some time to gain my mental strength and continue the dilator training, because I didn’t want vaginismus to remain a problem if/when I find another partner.
It’s been 5 months since my practice with dilators began, and yesterday, I experienced a complete penetration without pain for the first time!!
My new partner was supportive and made me feel very comfortable. I just cried out of happiness..
Honestly, after suffering through all the pain, I never imagined that penetration could be such a pleasure. I had to go through a lot of emotional stress and hurdles during the past few months. But yesterday I achieved what felt unattainable.. That moment made me realize that there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m perfect the way I am, and vaginismus was a temporary struggle that I had to go through.
I wanted to take this moment to express to you my sincere thanks and gratitude, for providing people like us the support, motivation and confidence like no one else does. Thank you so much, Katrin!
As for others dealing with vaginismus, I only have these few things to say from my experience.. Be mentally strong, don’t stop your healing journey midway, know that you’re perfect the way you are, and wait for the day the pleasure of penetrative sex mesmerizes you.
