I wasn't going to comment because I never had one as a virgin, but seeing some non-virgins expressed a fear that it hurts... Well, I've had both pap smears and vaginal ultrasounds several times and it never hurt a iota.

I suspect being nervous about those procedures plays an important part, since my mom says it's not quite painful for her but uncomfortable, and she's very very shy about her body.

Oh, it totally has to do with nervousness. Things like vaginitis can play a part as well. As someone who is terrified of them and tenses up and who also finds anything going in her vagina painful, they are the most awful things in the world for me.

As a virgin who's had both several times (a history of ovarian cysts made them necessary) I didn't experience any pain at all. The pap was this 'weird' feeling when they swabbed, but definitely not painful.

I think a lot of people go into it expecting it to hurt and it's like white coat syndrome, you tense up/make it harder to do/are so sure it's going to be terrible that it becomes uneasy to do and it does become uncomfortable.

Actually, my first pap smear was a nightmare. Why? I was actually "blessed" with a very thick, microperforated hymen (which I later learned was inherited from my Mom. Thanks Mom.). So they couldn't even get a speculum in there.

I finally got tired of having it and "did the deed" myself with a sex toy (and that required going cowboy and using gravity and my body weight to get it done. I couldn't push it in "missionary"). Now pap smears and internal ultrasounds aren't my favorite things in the world, and they can be uncomfortable, but they're no longer outright painful.

Yay for TMI?

Hint to the ladies out there: insist on lube on the speculum. Makes things so much easier.
