Some women, through their experience, are apprehensive before having sex. This anxiety stimulates the production of adrenaline: the muscles of the perineum contract, making penetration painful. This phenomenon can also occur in times of stress. It easily becomes a vicious circle, because the fear of having done the wrong thing causes the muscles to contract. The solution: kick back, relax, take the time for gentle foreplay and try other positions.
When you're not ready, you're not ready, that's all. And if the problem is deeper, that it comes from a trauma, speaking with a psychologist or a sex therapist is the best option.
