Some B/C pills induce a certain degree of dryness of the vaginal lininig, a condition which would make penetration difficult or even painful. And due to the poor lubrication by the glands of the vaginal lining intercourse may result in minute injuries to this tissue and of course the pain felt days after intercourse. You may consider changing B/C pills and find one more suitable for you. At Sat, 28 Sep 2002, Jeanne wrote: >
