I have been reading these posts and I will add my 3 cents for what ever its worth. I read some where and it may have been in one of my chemo books from oncology that chemo shrinks the muscus membranes and they loose elasticity. This causes great discomfort when having intercourse! In this article it said that when this happens, and it sounds like it has with many, one needs to take a vibrator or dialator with plenty of lubricant and insert it severals times to stretch the tissues. Need to do this each day until entrance is comfortable. It said by the patient doing it she can control it by starting out slow, and working at it to what she can tolerate. Best lubricant for most it said is K-Y and helps to warm it up. Under no circumstances should one use vaseline. One person told me she tried it and it worked for her. Hey, sounds like worth a try to me for those that are having this problem. I hope I haven't gotten too personal? We are now getting down to the nuts and bolts here!! Have a great New Year!!!! Hugs, Sandy
