Is the pain I'm having during sex normal? Any tips on how to relax?

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend, and I have no regrets. The problem is, we've tried 3 times, and pentration is extremely painful for me. It feels very tight and I experience a little itchyness afterwards. I haven't been able to finish what we started because I end up involuntaringly rolling off in pain. I looked it up, and I get mixed answers and causes for my pain. Some say it's cause I'v never used tampons, some say I need to see a doctor (a choice I'm afraid to do), and others just say I need to relax and use more lube. Fingering, and small things like that do not hurt me as much. Any advice ?

    I want you to know you are not alone. When i first lost my virginity i felt alot of pain and discomfort for days after. The biggest thing i can say is yes make sure you are properly lubricated, and breathe that is very important. also take it slow. untill you are comfortable go slow, there is no need to have rough sex until you have established a confort level with your self and your boy friend. 

    Hope this helped

    you guys might want to try Oral sex first, that always lubs me up. I would suggest using KY at your age, it is too soon, it should be natural.

    Where to start with this post. First off i lost my virginity at the age of 14 (drunk of course, which is bad to say but thats the past.. ) It hurt the first couple of times, we used lubercated condoms. As i got older which im now 21.. (shouldnt say older) but anywho.. My current boyfriend of 6 years on and off.. is more than average for size, and it still hurts.. Ive been in so much pain ive had to go to the emergency room.. Before you have sex, try taking an asprin or ibuprofen.. and wait for about 20 minutes. try taking it a few times before you have sex. I was actually taken in for testing on endometriosis (its scarring on your fellopian tubes, and possibly the uterus growing on the outside of the adomen, something on them lines.) dont be alarmed, it wasnt that, it was actually not using enough lubercation. Lubercation such as KY (ky jelly) a petrolium based  (I think) lubercant that you apply to him, or yourself. You can go to your mall which i think has a spencers in it, and buy it right in the sex place, dont feel out of place, the time to feel out of place in a store like that is to buy toys. I was young when i started buying this kind of stuff and just look at it as its going to be an awesome night. You can use as much of it as you like, and if you feel you need more, just add it right in there. When me and my boyfriend have sex as of right now, it still hurts, i get stomach pains, sometimes throw up. Sometimes my period is late from the pain. Just make sure you are using condoms.. you look too young to have a child, and you need to finish highschool (not trying to be your mother, but i have no kids yet, and let me tell you, its a great accomplishment when most of the people in my grade had a kid by the age of 17, and knowing that with a highschool diploma i can go alot further in life) There are times that I have to tell my boyfriend to stop because of the pain. and if it presists go to a clinic like options, they cant give any information, and your parents will know nothing of it. I dont know if you have a options clinic but its a clinic that is only for sex stuff, Pregnancy tests, stds tests, birthcontrol, condoms, ect.. Also..... Try switching BOTH your soap.. and wearing white underware only. This runs on my moms side.. As for the soap, i have very sensitive skin, and some soaps like zest, and irish spring cause an allergic reaction.. I was actually tested for herpes/sifilis, and it came back negative, it was just a reaction, its very painful, and its due to soap and having sex. Underware, the dyes in the colored underware can make you break out also. Umm.. Yeast infections can cause this to. Which i doubt you have a yeast infection, Only reason i brought this up is yeast infections cause itchyness and a little odor... Every girl has an odor but you will know the difference. If you think any of these could be help, try them they sound ridiculious but its my experience. Hope it helps!! :)

    About the post above mine- DO NOT BUY TOYS FROM SPENCERS. They are not made with safe material to use internally. That are novalty toys only. The plastic has pores in it that will breed bacteria and can make you sick. If you want a sex toy, try buying online, like off amazon, so it will be discreet, and make sure whatever you're buying is silicone, and don't use silicone lube with it.

    As to the problem at hand- Make sure you're relaxed as much as you can be. Remember, your man loves you no matter what! Some women just have naturally smaller vaginal canals, this is nothing to worry about. Try a LOT of foreplay. at least 25 minutes. When you feel ready, make sure your boyfriend takes it slowly. Use a water based lube, so it won't damage the condom.

    If you continue to have pain, no matter what you do, i'd go see a doctor. The women at Planned Parenthood tend to be very nice, and might be able to help you without an examination, but by just talking to you. If the only time you have that painful, itchy reaction is during sex, you should also concider if you might have a latex allergy.

    I hope this helps!

    That's actually really good news! Yeast infections are super treatable, and go away pretty quickly, around one or two weeks. Just remember, don't have sex until it clears up, or it won't get any better. I'm so glad you worked things out!
