    Me and my wife have been married for nearly 2 months now and we have not been able to have sex because it hurts her to much. We are both virgins and I need some advice with maybe something I can do to make it easier.

    How old are you both? How long did you date before you married?

    Got it. So, there’s a chance that the two of you may have more of a friend vibe going than a lustful or sexy feeling, after being together for 6 years, at your ages of 23 and 22, and both of you virgins. Try and create a romantic mood and focus on getting to know each others’ bodies, not just having intercourse. That will take the focus off of intercourse and allow you to get to know each other and slow things down.

    This is more common than people admit, especially when you’re both new to sex. You’re not broken, and neither is she.
    Pain usually means her body isn’t relaxed yet. Nerves, fear, pressure, and rushing all make things tighten up. The more you both worry about “making it work,” the harder it gets. Slow way down. Take penetration off the table for a bit. Focus on touching, kissing, being close, and helping her feel safe and calm with you.

    Use plenty of lubricant. Way more than you think you need. Let her control the pace completely. If it hurts, stop. No pushing through pain.
    If it keeps hurting after time and patience, she should see a doctor. That’s not embarrassing. It’s smart.
    The biggest thing is this: don’t let sex turn into stress. Intimacy grows when pressure disappears.

    You need to stop making this about your frustration and start treating it like a medical and psychological issue because pain during sex is not something you “push through” or fix by trying harder. Two months of pain means something is wrong, not that she just needs to relax or “get used to it.” If you keep trying to force penetration, you will make it worse and train her body to associate sex with fear and pain. That’s how lifelong sexual dysfunction starts.

    Here’s the blunt reality: virginity plus anxiety, pressure, and ignorance is a perfect recipe for vaginismus, muscle guarding, or insufficient arousal. Pain almost always comes from rushing, fear, dryness, or involuntary muscle tightening, not from her being “too small” or you doing something wrong anatomically. If penetration hurts, you stop. Period. No negotiations. No guilt. No “just a little more.”

    What you do now is slow everything down and remove penetration from the goal entirely. You build comfort, trust, and arousal without trying to have intercourse. Lots of foreplay, patience, zero pressure, and lube, not spit, not guessing, actual lubricant. And if it still hurts, she needs to see a gynecologist. Not later. Now. Pain is not normal, and ignoring it is negligent.
