vaginismus Quote | Reply

I think I suffer from vaginismus, in the first couple of years of our relationship I did have intercourse with my boyfriend without problems, but gradually my sexual desires decreased and it became more difficult over time, the last 8 years or so, we have had intercourse once a year..We had therapy with a sexual therapist, but all she wanted to do was talk about our relationship and try to find problems which might have caused this problem, the thing is our relationship is wonderful and always has been. Another thing is that since 8 years I have been taking antidepressants( paroxetina) and I do think that they have destroyed my sexual desire, I have tried several times to stop taking them (yes, with the help of a psychiastrist) but feel that I canīt cope with life without them.The longest time I have been without depressants is about a month, and although I did start having sexual dreams ,intercourse was still not possible. I also have mentioned my problem to a gynaecologist (the visit was a nightmare, extremely painful,although she was extra careful,I prefer to get cancer than ever go back to any gynaecologist)but she couldnīt offer me any solution. The last thing that I should mention is that when I was a teenager my father was very sexistic and I felt he looked at me in the wrong way, I sometimes have nightmares in which he sexually assaults me, this makes me feel extremely upset during days. I have been in therapy for my depressions several times and mentioned all this,no conclusion made.I might have these nightmares because I experienced my fatherīs behavior as an sexual assault in itself..or because smt did really happen and I surpressed it...(although I donīt find that likely) I am sorry, I am explaining a lot of things , but I am really desperate and donīt know what to do.....we would like to have children soon (I am 31), but donīt see how we can...
SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE;THANKX

You have been open to try many avenues in finding an answer, which is a positive thing. Maybe you might want to see what another psychiatrist has to say? You might have Vaginismus, but you have unresolved issues as well, and the Psychiatrist you are with now might not be helping you as well as you might think. Go for another opinion.
