"PinterestFacebookDear Dr. H,\nMy husband and I are not quite enjoying our lovemaking. Both of us waited until we got married to do it. It hurts me when he tries to go in and we still keep trying. However, he cannot last long enough to fully go in either. I do not even know if my hymen is broken. I asked the gyno but she says it&amp;#39;s hard to tell. We do not know what we can do to enjoy it. Do you have any advice?\nRead on for Dr. Hilda Hutcherson&amp;#39;s response.\nA. It sounds like your husband has a common type of sexual dysfunction called premature ejaculation and should see a urologist or a sex therapist. Since your husband ejaculates before he penetrates you completely, it is possible that your hymen is still partially intact. If, every time you have intercourse, your hymen continues to be stretched a little bit more, sex can remain painful until it is completely stretched or torn. There are several treatments that your husband can discuss with his doctor: He can masturbate to the point of ejaculation prior to having intercourse with you. This can help because he won&amp;#39;t be as anxious to climax and might be able to last longer. He can also try wearing a thick condom, or one with a local anesthetic in the tip, like Durex Performance, which decreases the sensitivity of the penis so he can last longer. If none of these tips work, his doctor might be able to prescribe antidepressants, which have been shown to help some men last longer. In the meantime, my advice would be spend extra time on foreplay--that will take the pressure off of intercourse and also help you become more lubricated, which can help minimize any pain. Through manual and oral stimulation, you should be able to find ways to make sex pleasurable for both of you.\nReaders, do you have any other questions about enjoying sex?
