Sexual Anorexic

April 7, 2003

Question

My name is Kim. I'm 16 years old. I think I might be sexually anorexic because of 2 reasons. . .

1) every time my boyfriend fingers me, it starts to hurt pretty soon.

2) i can't wear tampons because it hurts too bad to put them in. . .

I don't know how to get rid of this. . . will having sex (or losing my virginity) somehow 'rip' me open more. . . so i wont be sexually anorexic anymore?


Answer

You aren't an anorexic. You are starving yourself sexually because you're in pain.

Tampons aren't supposed to hurt, nor is manual stimulation supposed to be painful.

My guess is that you have a vaginal or urinary tract infection. See your doctor and get checked out. If the doctor finds nothing, then get back to me and we'll study the matter further.
