Re: No pleasure

I am 21 years old. I'd like to know if I should go to a psycholigist or
try to find a physical cause to my problem. I am going to my gyn in 9
days because of the pain I still feel while having intercourse, and
would like to know if this pain could be psychological.
Is there any place I could find information to see if the medication I
had could be the problem?
Thanks in advance
Jessica
