Hi girl. Im sorry that this is happening to you; this is also a problem that i have :(. It sounded like u were describing me, i could not believe it!

At first i thought it may be just from having sex for the first few times and being tight, but i did my research and found out that stinging, burning, raw feelings are symptoms of vulvar vestibulitis (a subset of vulvodynia). I went to the gyn and proved my suspicions. I feel that you probly have the same thing. You need to get ureself to the dr and have a full exam done down there. I know it sucks u cant have sex w/ your guy. I feel the same way.I would abstain from it totally until u get this figured out. So you really need to go to the gyn, get a pap smear and inspection of the vagina done; the gyn should take swabs and look at ure skin w/ a colposcope. Please make that first step so u can start treatment :)

If you need any more info or whatever, just post again and i wouldnt mind answer any more Qs u have. I know u dont feel good about this but i am in the same situation and there are many other girls w/ the same probs! My gyn said he sees a lot of cases. Good luck and take care :)
