My wife has Vagismus. We have been married for almost 2 years now and both came into marraige vergins. Needless to say our wedding night (and our entire honeymoon) was not we had hoped it would be. Plenty of foreplay, we took a long bath in the hot tub lit with candles, massages, oral sex, we were having a great time. But when we finally decided to go for it... instant tears and screaming... she practically threw me off her. We were both dumbstruck. We thought maybe she was tired from a long day of pictures, family, guests, food, so we decided to try in the morning.... same result if not worse. This went on for months. When we finally gave up trying and went to a doctor, we found out that we wre not just crazy. She went through the physical therapy involving dialators and it seemd to be working very well. We reached the point where i was able to almost fully penetrate her (Once, any movement in and out or second attempts was more than she could handle.) The therapist told us that there was nothing more she could do and that we should just keep up with the dialators and working on penetration.
This did not work out so well. By that point my wife had lost pretty much all sexual desires and drive that she once had. She did not keep up with the dialators and we have not practiced penetration more than a couple times since then (it's been about a year since she stoped therapy). "Sex" for us basically involves oral and hands and happens maybe once a month or less. Any suggestions or talk about sex or starting up therapy again usually just leads to fights or her resenting me. I have pretty much accepted the fact that i will never have a satisfying sexual relationship with my wife. I will never devorce her, i love her more deeply than i can describe and can deal with not getting sex. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for things i can say or do for her to help her.
